Location: Carvoeiro, Portugal, Europe (Nearest Airport is Faro International)
Accommodations: Villa, 6 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 5 Baths (Sleeps 12-16)
Located just outside the beautiful Village of Porches, Villa Mariana Do Sol comfortably sleeps 16 persons. Usual arrival day is on a Thursday, but we do have some flexibility. Heated swimming pool. Table Tennis. Air-conditioning. 6 Large Double Bedrooms and 5 Bathrooms.
This relatively new villa has been impeccably decorated and furnished. Each bedroom has its own color scheme with coordinating soft furnishings and three of the bathrooms have corner baths. The architecture is attractive and interesting with curved walls and an impressive circular entrance hall. The modern kitchen is very well equipped with two enormous Fridge/Freezers and a built in cooker. The sitting room is well furnished with a plush, curved Sofa - a lovely dining suite and a wood burning Stove.
There are mosquito nets on all doors and windows. The villa is on a large plot of land and is close to the village of 'Porches' and Armacao de Pera with good restaurants, Bars and a long sandy beach. It is also a short drive from the lively resort of Praia do Carvoeiro.
Coast/Beach
The Villa is located just outside the picturesque Village of Porches where many Restaurants and Bars are located for those long summer evenings with friends. The town and beaches of Armcao De Pera is just a few minutes away by car towards the coast road.
The picture-postcard village of Porches lies just off the EN125 main road, midway between Alcantarilha and Lagoa. The area is noted for its classic white regional-style houses punctuated with striking decorated chimneys.
Golf
Portugal, and in particular, the Algarve, is renowned for its magnificent Golf Courses which is why it is considered a golfer's paradise. There are many courses within easy reach of Villa Marianna such as The Pinta and The Gramacho courses at neighboring Carvoeiro. There's also the championship course of Penina just a ten minute drive away.
Keen golfers find that the location of this Villa ideal to combine both a beach and golfing holiday and it also works well for partners and families who do not participate in the sport.
Distances
The Villa is just 35 minute drive along the A22 from Faro Airport. Typical Taxi prices are Taxi 1-4 People £51. Taxi 5-8 People £73. Taxi prices are for one way journeys.
Further details
Miles of gorgeous, golden, sandy beaches, calm clear waters and bays interspersed with rugged cliffs and enchanting grottoes; the Algarve is amongst the top European holiday destinations. The South of Portugal was the last place to gain independence from the Moors in 1292, conquered by the King Dom Afonso III and even today traces of the Moorish presence are visible in the unique terraces, chimneys and whitewashed villas.
Despite the obvious influence of tourism, a short drive inland reveals the true Algarve where life goes on much as it has for many centuries. This brightly colored region with orange groves, almond trees in blossom and fragrant pines is also the most verdant and fertile. Sports enthusiasts will find ideal conditions and top class facilities; the golf courses and tennis establishments have a highly prized reputation. Above all, the Algarve is a children's haven; several exciting water parks, surfing in Praia da Luz, horse riding near Lagos and, of course, plenty of chicken and chips! Whatever your preference; a secluded hideaway in the hills, a converted cottage in a traditional fishing village or a magnificent mansion in a sophisticated resort, we are certain that you will find your personal paradise in the Algarve.

Dear Alfred
We had a wonderful week in your Villa, everything was perfect and everyone of us had a fantastic holiday. Thank you for helping to make a dream come true. My mother who was celebrating her 70th birthday got a wonderful surprise and we got to swim with the dolphins as a bonus.
The weather was fantastic and the villa had everything and more to make our week so perfect. Thank you again.
I truly hope we will be able to go back to Porches one day and spend another wonderful holiday in your beautiful villa.

Hello Mr. Kingsnorth
I am just emailing you to let you know that we had a wonderful Xmas break at your villa. As you know we were a party of 8 from two separate families and the vast areas of space suited our needs perfectly. I would also like to praise your managing agent and the maids service which was faultless. If we know of anyone looking to rent a very large villa in the Algarve we will have no hesitation in recommending Marianna Do sol.

We had a superb holiday the Villa Marianna was 'fantastic'. It had everything we needed and more! The kids loved the pool and the games room. I'm sure we will be making a return visit, this was our third trip to Portugal at Easter and we all thought this was the best place we had stayed in.
Thanks again. Jane Bell.

Why the Owner Chose Carvoeiro
Eventually I and my Family will spend more time in the Algarve than we will in London.
