The Property
Casa Julima is simply a 'home from home' experience - there is no need to worry about delicate antiques, expensive ornaments that you spend the whole time panicking the children might touch. This is your holiday home and your comfort has been thought about in everything you can see in the villa. Our philosophy is 'you need not think or worry about anything' - it is all done for you! Our approach is that all you need to do is pack your clothes nothing else... once you walk through the doors of your holiday home you can relax immediately, kick you shoes off, wander out poolside and sit on the terrace, relax and enjoying the delights that are in your complimentary 'welcome basket' that includes wine, cheese, fresh fruit, bread, water and a selection of local foods ... you're in holiday mood now - and it feels fabulous. Varandas Da Lago is a private development located between the famous 5* Resorts of Vale Do Lobo and Quinta Da Lago the area is also known as the 'Golden Triangle'.

Special interest holidays
There are plenty of opportunities to play tennis in Vale Do Lobo in the Tennis Valley (14 flood lit courts). There are professionals on hand to help you improve any aspect of your game, regular lessons can be arranged (fee payable). There is good bird watching options in the Ria Formosa with covered areas for watchers (or are you twitchers?) This is about 10 minutes drive away. The inlets and lagoons of the Ria Formosa are well worth a day trip on a boat. The sand dunes from Vale do Lobo back towards Faro are fabulous for wildlife spotting. From Vale do Lobo you could (if you felt energetic) actually walk for over 20 miles of beach there are some fabulous cliff walks past Vilamoura.
Further details
In the villa is a well stocked folder with all the details of the attractions so you can read at leisure and book you choices. Before departure for you holiday we provide an e-book with lots of information about the Algarve and Golden Triangle so you start planning your holiday.
The local area has a huge variety of activities to interest the whole family. Options include horse riding, fishing, yachting/sailing, champagne cruises, shark & dolphin watching, 4x4 safari tours & Cultural visits.
In Almancil there is a karting track if you need to burn off that adrenalin..... There is also an Aqua Park 10 mins drive on the other side of Quateria) and a Swim With Dolphin experience and Theme Park (30 mins drive on the Motorway).
Faro town is a 15 minute drive there is a large shopping centre the Forum that offers good facilties for supermarket and retail shopping. Faro Old Town has an interesting history and several historic landmarks worth investigating. There is a lovely harbour with restaurants dotted about. In Almancil (5 min drive) is a beautiful church with wonderful mosiacs that is open to the public. Quarteria & Loule both boast excellent markets that sells both fresh produce and local made prodcuts.
From Varandas Do Lago about 3/4 mile down the main road towards Vale Do Lobo are another good selection of restaurants including the Sao Gabriel - a Michelin star restaurant and the Thai Garden restaurant also highly recommended. I also recommend the several 'beach shack' restaurants collectively known as 'Julias' it is a 3 minute drive from the villa located on the Ancao beach where celebrity spotting is a favourite pastime.
The Quinta da Lago Shopping Centre is about a mile down the road, here there are many exclusive designers shops and some lovely restaurants/cafes. There is also a Italian restaurant that delivers pizza and pasta (and a bottle of wine) to the villa, the menu is in the folder... for those nights that you just can't be bothered.
