About the host
Hosted by Reg Glencastle
We live in Ipswich, England, I am married to Gill and we have two lovely son's, we hope one day to be able to spend much more time in Villa Castelos as our retirement home.
For now though we let the villa to friends, family and rental guests to enjoy the peaceful country side all around our villa.
Why they chose this property
We love Portugal, especially this lovely unspoilt and low cost part of the Eastern Algarve. We find the local people very friendly and welcoming. There are some really lovely beaches and unique beach islands within 10-15 mins drive of the villa, also new golf courses. Eating out is a real pleasure, with lots of low cost restaurant's all within a few mins drive of the villa. Your euros most definitely go further, you can still enjoy a glass of wine or beer at 2 euro's in this part of the world! There is a superb low cost bistro just 950mt from the villa, where clients go time and time again. We particularly recommend Moncarapacho & Olhao for fish & Pasta lovers where superb fresh fish is landed and served on same day and the excellent pasta restaurant.
The local Supermercardo keeps a good wine selection or do a large family shop from all of the various Supermarkets situated in Olhao.
