Vila
Castelo, Penthouses, Townhouses and Villas, Ferragudo
The houses at Vila Castelo
enjoy views across the peaceful Angrinha Beach to the historic castle of
São João do Arade. Walking around the castle you will
discover the larger beach of Praia Grande where you can soak up the sun
and enjoy a drink or lunch at one of the beach bars. The view of the prestigious
new yacht marina of Portimão is complimented by the activity of
leisure craft and the passing of the local fishing boats. One of
the many advantages of Vila Castelo is its proximity to the beach, restaurants
and shops meaning that a hire car is by no means essential. |
