Overseas property-hunters looking for a Portuguese investment should consider 'The Old Village', an imaginatively designed development of 285 properties in Vilamoura.
Situated only 30 minutes drive from Faro airport, the development has been designed to reflect Portuguese heritage with rustic architectural styles. The Village also aims to encourage a sense of community among its residents, with each unique property leading on to a road that is fully pedestrianised, making it very safe for children and a relaxing place for families and for people of all ages to enjoy holidays at any time of the year and move around safely.
Positioned on a small hill, most of the properties have gardens or roof terraces, where residents can enjoy views over the greens and fairways of the Pinhal Golf course, the sea and the landscaped gardens that lead to three swimming pool areas.
As well as coffee shops and a supermarket that opens every day, there are three restaurants in The Old Village, which is only 5 minutes walk from the tennis Centre.
The development is also close to the bustling Marina, and where there are all kinds of other shops, bars and restaurants to explore.
Studio apartments within the Old Village start from €80,000. For more information about the development visit www.oldvillageproperty.com
