Guia is a small town, a friendly town and a well situated town. Right in the middle of the Algarve, Guia is a short drive from Albufeira’s beaches and hustle and bustle – yet far enough away to be a quiet traditional village. Famous for its Piri Piri chicken, the village has many restaurants serving this and other local dishes.
Guia area is also great for shopping: the Algarve Shopping mall as well as the retail park next door, plus Leroy Merlin and Max Mat for your DIY and Makro cash and carry.
Not only is Guia an attractive town in itself, but you can find some very good attractions nearby, including Zoo Marine just outside the village, as well as Aqualand Waterpark just down the N125 at Alcantarilha and Salgados golf course a short drive away.
Then there’s the International School do Algarve. Its only 20km away and has an excellent reputation for children’s education and after school activities. The Galé Blue Flag beaches are only 6km away and are just perfect for summer relaxation and winter dog walking.
Guia’s property includes the renowned vineyard Adega do Cantor owned by Sir Cliff Richard, the most famous local resident - we don’t think Sir Cliff’s Adega is for sale though. But there are some excellent alternatives on the market if becoming a wine producer is not your cup of tea (or glass of vinho!).
So what are you likely to discover in the way of properties for sale in this lovely, typical Portuguese town? And how do the prices of property compare for this part of the Algarve?
