Last week in Óbidos, Portugal, VILA VITA Parc was awarded with the distinction of Best Resort Hotel in Portugal at the Publituris Portugal Travel Awards 2017 Gala. These awards, also known as the “Oscars of Tourism”, are an initiative of the national paper Publituris, aiming to award the best in tourism in Portugal.
This award takes on an even more special meaning by being given in the year when VILA VITA Parc Resort & Spa celebrates its 25th Anniversary.
A decorative item, a 100% Portuguese brand, a distinctive ambient light, a classic candle and a modern lamp, these are the candles of the Candle In brand, now available at Mar d’Estórias.
The candles are customized as a replica of the Portuguese tiles that are part of the decoration in the Bistro / Café of Mar d'Estórias, so memories of the experience you’ve had in this space are always with you.
There is a sea of products full of history available in the most Portuguese shop in Lagos that, due to their respect for Portuguese customs, have become more than mere products and started to work in partnership with Mar d’Estórias.
Thus, for those who like a traditional style, but with a very modern twist the Victoria Handmade bag, is your product and is available in various colours and sizes; and you will never miss a drink to celebrate a special occasion, with different original Port wines and Gin from Portugal in Tube.
Located in the centre of the historic city of Lagos, the Mar d'Estorias experience culminates in a Terrace Bar where the combination of sea breeze and sunset is enhanced by a fantastic view.
Whatever your plans this summer, do not miss a relaxed afternoon or a magical evening on one of the most Algarvian terraces in Lagos. The Portuguese music, a simple, modern decoration that appeals to the comfort and the smell of the sea that is possible to breathe in the Terrace Bar are the perfect combination for sharing pleasant moments.
The transformation of VILA VITA Parc Resort & Spa continues, with the opening of the resort’s newly-remodelled hair salon and barber shop, which is now also available to non-resident guests.
Following a stylish re-design, the space showcases an entirely new, sophisticated and elegant vibe. In addition to the hair treatment area, there is also a barber and male grooming section, and a manicure and pedicure station.
Mar d'Estórias has in its gallery a temporary exhibition of the Portuguese brand of sneakers Ubber White, born of the desire to do something differentiating, where art stands out in a special support that can be taken everywhere. Ubber White is a brand founded by three women in love with art, Paula Mourão, who brought together the ideas that launch the brand, Fátima Branco, challenged to embrace the project and Filomena Neves the tireless creator of the Ubber White project.
We’re Celebrating Another Milestone…. A year ago, we welcomed almost 400 guests to our 35th Anniversary Celebrations here at our head office in Cerro Grande, Albufeira. Friends, Clients and Employees all enjoyed cocktails and canapés on one of warmest evenings of the year; it was a truly lovely event.
Having now celebrated our 36th anniversary, we’re reflecting on what has been another incredible year for Real Estate in the central Algarve and looking at what the next year will hold.
QUALITY PAINTS, Lagos - We’ve considered awaiting the final outcome of Brexit, but unfortunately our little bodies have told us otherwise, so the BUSINESS is BACK UP FOR SALE - and PRICE REDUCED (from €195K) to €165K due to FX rate.
€165K is all inclusive ie lock stock and barrel - but there’s now an option to RENT the Shop premises. If RENTAL is preferred, Shop value (to be deducted from €165K), also rent, will be independently assessed.
If you’re looking to keep body and brain active whilst still having ample time to enjoy the Algarvean lifestyle, (current opening hours are Mon to Fri, 10.00 to 16.00 - unlike 24/7 for bar/restaurant type businesses), then this could be for you!
We still enjoy running the business and would very much like to continue, but unfortunately neither of us is getting any younger and the physical aspects are getting a bit beyond us, aaaah!
CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: THE BUSINESS WILL CONTINUE AS USUAL, (may improve!), NOT LEAST AS THERE WILL BE A HANDOVER PERIOD OF UP TO THREE MONTHS AVAILABLE TO THE NEW BUYER, SO ANY CHANGE WILL BE SEAMLESS.
