Portugal Holidays Vaucosta Apartment in Algarve, is self catering accomodation. Situated in Vau Costa on the Algarve the self-catering holiday apartment is situated in close proximity to Alvor, Portimao and Faro airport.
While slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of the large resorts apartment Vaucosta is still within easy reach of all the local ammenities.
The old fishing village of Alvor, with its long sandy beach, little winding streets and many bars and restaurants is just 15 minutes away by car.
In the other direction 10 minutes by car will bring you to the old town of Portimao where the beaches are some of the best around and the shops and night life are more in abundance. The narrow streets of the shopping area are now all pedestrianised making it a safe place to wander and browse.
Portimao sits on the estuary of the river Arade and the quayside is famous for its many fish restaurants.
Many local boat owners are there to offer you some deep sea fishing, or a leisurely boat trip along the coast. The river trip inland to the old moorish city of Silves should not be missed.
To keep the children happy there are numerous actvities such as Zoo marine, Krazy world, Waterparks, horse riding and of course the many beaches all within 30 minutes drive of the apartment.
Along with Alto golf - visible from the apartments balcony - there are other local golf courses such as Penina, Palmares and Golfe De Morgado which will challenge even the best handicappers
