Located in a spectacular, elevated position in the less developed eastern Algarve, Castro Marim Golfe enjoys 360 degree views, including the shimmering waters of the Atlantic to the south and the hills forming the border with Spain to the north. From the quaint little town of Castro Marim, with its simple white houses and terracotta roofs, medieval castle and ancient fort, it’s just a short drive across the Guadiana River road bridge to Spain, and only 140 kms to magnificent Seville. Also close by are the attractive port city of Vila Real de Santo António and seaside town of Monte Gordo, great spots to indulge in a little retail therapy or to watch the world go by over a glass of Portuguese wine.
With three superb 9-hole courses at the resort and dozens of others within easy reach both along the Algarve and over the Spanish border, golfing enthusiasts are spoilt for choice here while families with older children or groups of friends will find it a perfect location for a relaxing break.

      London Family (the eldest child is at school)
      The villa was lovely and spacious and in a great location. The villa felt a bit unloved eg, there were stains on a wall and one of the kitchen cupboard doors which didn't look too hygenic; there were supposed to be towels for the pool, but we could only find 3 even though there were 4 of us and the villa actually slept 6; there were two parasol stands, but only one parasol; there were chipped tiles in the pool and some of the tiles round the pool edge were loose; the plants round the pool all looked a bit dead and the person cleaning the pool didn't come on the last two days.

      All that said we had a lovely relaxing time and all the staff we dealt with were fantastic.

      Disappointed with outdoor space as small balcony only therefore would not rebook this villa.

      All other aspects, internal villa, furnishings, kitchen met our expectations.

      Shared pool used daily and usually quiet with room for kids to play on inflatables.

      Staff all excellent on the site.

      We arrived at night after reception was closed and just taken to our villa by a security man, the welcome pack in the room wasnt explained so we didn't know what was provided within the pack or what was mini bar, that we would of been charged for at end of stay, other than that all was great, maybe a small sachet of washing up liquid would be helpful to receive.

      Although newly built already showing signs of wear. Out sofa was covered with a bed sheet! Beds as hard as rock and poor quality. Ants attacked any crumbs on the floor. Door frames warped in places.

      Bad problem with Ants but when complained did provide general bug spray. Had to buy plastic containers to stop ants getting to food. Other than that fantastic villa. A little far out but we knew that when we booked. Do need to provide more sun loungers for 6 people. Staff were absolutely brilliant. Early check in and late check out for free. If you play golf ideal

      Really pleased overall except:
      The outdoor furnishings were poor, for example the parasol was broken. Some tiles were missing from pool, and table and chairs were in poor condition. Paint work looks shabby compared to other similar villas in the pool area.
      Also the restaurant wasn't reliable because we were assured we didn't need to book, but when we turned up, we were turned away staff saying that they had a private party booked. This was disappointing.
