Get ready for an unforgettable experience at this charming villa along the Algarve coast. As soon as you step into the vaulted entrance hall, you’ll be welcomed by a beamed interior that incites holiday mode. Though the decor is a little dated in parts, the rooms flow easily from one to the other, and there’s a games room for family pool nights. Outside, the acre and a half of manicured gardens, colourful flowerbeds, and olive and citrus trees offer a peaceful setting to unwind. You'll love sharing meals in the outdoor dining room and soaking up the sun poolside – there’s even a solar-heated children’s pool for the youngsters of the group. When the sea calls, hop in the car to Olhos de Água, just 12km away.
