A laid-back Algarve base in Quarteira, this house strikes a good balance between comfort and practicality. From the outsdie, it's quinetstally Portougese – think white-washed walls, wooden shutters, and terracotta roof. The garden and outdoor dining area are a particular highlight, making it easy to enjoy alfresco meals and the endless sunshine. Vilamoura, several beaches, and a clutch of golf courses are all close by, and Aquashow Park is practically on the doorstep – handy if younger guests are in the group.
