Hi, I'm Francisco! As a child I rode the cliffs of the Algarve beaches by bicycle with my friend Salvador, exploring every nook, discovering every secret of the Algarve coast. After finishing my studies I emigrated to Switzerland where I worked for 14 years in the restoration area was an amazing experience! I love outdoor spaces and I can assure you and share them with you.

Due to a cancellation of my holiday I sign in for a bootcamp with Marco and had an great, amazing and wonderful week. Marco is passionate and professional trainer and he pushed me to my limits (and over) and also took care of my very tight muscles. I loved that the training was different any time from running, boxing, swimming, various high intensity sessions at the beach and as icing on the cake; a (sand) bike ride on the beach to Faro, it was magic. The appartment I stayed in was very nice, with seavieuw and 2 minutes walk to te beach. The food was incredible and was one of the best I ever had and Erika is not only a great an passionate cook she is also great company and a lovely person. Marco and Erika are a great team which made this bootcamp very special. I Would recommend this bootcamp to anyone who wants to give your body and mind a great boost. I learned also new things; my abs had been neglected, no yogurt before training, how to loosen my (very) tight muscles (I bough a foam roller). The final results were great and Marco, thank you for your energy, trust and al your attention, it was what this week makes very special.

Having just completed ten riding lessons at Pinetrees Riding Centre I feel compelled to write and recommend. Bev, owner and instructor, was fantastic at adapting the pace of learning so that it was both manageable and fun. The horses are all lovely and so well cared for. All the equipment was provided and this was of an excellent quality. I had a fabulous time both riding in the arena and exploring the beautiful countryside. I can’t wait to return - thank you Bev and all of your team.

I have used Martin's E-Bike to service my electric mountain bikes for some time. Their service is always excellent and very reasonably priced considering the level of service. The lady who works on the desk is so friendly and helpful and all of the maintenance staff are very knowledgable. I recently had a failure of the motor on my bike. It was unfortunately a make that they didn't usually sell or have experience with. Despite this they liaised with the manufacturer (who was less than helpful) and arranged for a replacement for me. It was only Martin's persistence that ended up with the successful result. If you need an e-bike rental or e-bike maintenance this is the place for you. Thanks guys!

One of the early algarve courses that has stood the test of time very well. A little over developed but some of the villa are as breathtaking as the course.
10. Algarve FootGolf
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 19 reviews
Footgolf is played like golf on a course like golf, with the difference that you kick a football around instead of hitting a small golf ball with a golf club. The cup on the green is obviously larger than normal, so it can room a football. The lengths of the holes on our course are between 35 - 95m and divided into par 3, par 4 and par 5 holes. BRING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS and have a GREAT game of footgolf! You can play either 9 or 18 holes of fun golf, where you kick a football with your foot, instead of hitting a golf ball with a club. EVERYONE can do this from 5 years and up! The ALGARVE FOOTGOLF COURSE at Algarve Tennis and Fitness Club (ATF), is a mixture of a forest, desert and canyon layout – the ONLY one of its kind in the World!
