Casa Azul is a magnificent newly built villa in the heart of the Vila Sol golf and leisure resort just a twenty-minute drive from Faro airport. The villa is surrounded by landscaped gardens and enjoys views out over the golf course. Guests at the villa will have access to the superb 27 hole (3x9) golf course, which has hosted the Portuguese Open on a number of occasions, as well as the tennis courts and a Health Spa offering a choice of therapeutic programmes. In the new Vila Sol five star hotel clients can use the hotel bars and restaurants. The famous Vilamoura resort is only a five-minute drive from Casa Azul and offers a choice of five golf courses plus all the amenities, bars and restaurants available at the Vilamoura Marina complex. The beaches at Vilamoura are about a 10-minute drive and slightly further afield (between Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago) is the Vila Sol Beach Club at Praia do Ancão, a long stretch of soft golden sand. The beachfront restaurant serves an enticing selection of freshly caught local seafood and other local specialities, with excellent wines. The beach has gained an EU Blue Flag and guests can take full advantage of some exiting water sports facilities.
