This laid-back villa is perfectly placed for a stay near the sun-soaked Algarvan coast. The nearest beaches are around twenty minutes away, while back at the villa there's a pool, generous living space across the main house, plus a two-bedroom annex perfect for families needing a little extra privacy. Visit in the cooler months and there are hikes nearby, with the log burner waiting when you get back. Better yet, local town is distinctively Portuguese – boutiques, restaurants, cafes, and a pace of life you won't be rushing away from.

About Loulé
Algarve's largest municipality, Loulé, is a tale of two halves. Along the coast, you'll find Portugal's foremost holiday resorts – buzzy Albufeira and the more laidback Quarteira – loved for their sweeping shores hugged by dramatic red sandstone sea cliffs and endless sunshine. If you're after somewhere a little more exclusive, the seafront resorts of Quinta do Lago, Vilamoura, and Vale do Lobo – famed for their world-class golf courses...
