This villa is in a semi-rural setting, offering guests a combination of privacy and stunning views. The home looks out over Faro, with vistas stretching to the coast. A vast flower-filled garden adds to the sense of seclusion, as does the 150-metre-long driveway. That said, you’re only a five-minute drive from Estoi, and you can drive to a number of beaches on the Algarve in twenty-five minutes. A great choice for families, this home comes with all the amenities you might need, so you can focus on relaxing. There’s even a pétanque court and a games room, so there’s no chance of boredom.
