Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From our property it is less than 2 minutes walk to the swimming pools. It is 10 minutes walk to the local bars & restaurants along paved walkways. There are many activities you can enjoy including playing golf, horse riding, tennis, watersports( 10 minutes drive away). There is a lso a water park 10 minutes drive away. Although it is on a golf complex please don't feel you have to be a golfer to stay here, neither myself nor my husband to be play golf but love the facilities the complex offers and the close proximity to the local beaches and towns. There is also a mini Hollywood theme park less than an hours drive away where many spaghetti western films have been produced. There are plenty of local markets where you can buy local fresh produce and the nearby town of Garrucha is the fishing capital of the area and you can purchase all sea food and fish here.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
As this is our second home it is not important that you stay here at the same time as we stay in your property( if this is convenient for you). We are open to date requests and please don't feel that you can't stay longer than our stay in your property. We want you to have a fabulous time and make yourselves at home. All we ask is that you leave the property in a clean and presentable condition, how you will find it on your arrival. \if there is anything we can arrange or do for you prior to your visit then please let us know.
