Guia: The tiny village of Guia is situated just a ten minute drive from bustling Albufeira, the Algarve's most popular and well known resort. Guia is the hub of a thriving villa population which includes Sir Cliff Richard's villa and vineyards. Over the past 30 years, around 20 restaurants have emerged offering anything from the locally discovered chicken piri-piri to two gourmet French restaurants. Nearby is the Zoomarine theme park with lots of attractions especially for the children including the opportunity to swim with the dolphins.

History: This small village is located near the main Highway No.125, only 6km away from Albufeira. The village was established during Roman times and was called Alfontes by the Arabs, meaning beyond the water spring. Guia is one of the county’s three parishes on the Algarve coastline, occupying an area of 27 square km located within the 148 square km of the county’s total area. The village origins are difficult to determine, but oral tradition tells us that the site of the chapel of Nossa Srª da Guia is where the Virgin Mary once appeared. Consequently, the village name has a religious origin relating to the existence of the chapel which was built prior to the 16th century. The vow to Our Lady of Guia is ancient and at one time drew pilgrims from all over the Algarve to make their promises to the Virgin Mary, which according to tradition

Hi Eleanor, just arrived back from your beautiful villa our 3rd visit, We had a wonderful time, weather, wine and food were first class. Thank you for the use of your home, everything was just perfect. Best wishes Roddy and Denise. June 11

'Hi Eleanor, Just to say thanks for the villa - it is a really lovely place to spend time. The kids loved the pool and spent most of it on the inflatable dolphins (we had one as well so an extra bonus to find one there!) The villa was lovely and we felt really well looked after by your agent, the cleaner, the pool cleaner and the gardener!'

'Thanks again and if you need us for recommendations please let us know. Thank you for your help as well all went very smoothly with the airport transfer and the hire car.' Sally and family
'We wanted to say what a wonderful holiday we had. The villa was superb, it exceeded our expectations in every respect and as you know this was our first villa holiday so we feel spoiled completely. Everything was Superb, Thank You
