Although there are lots of impressive aspects to this Algarve home painted in a rather fetching shade of pink, we can't start with anything other than the outdoor area. Overlooked by palm trees, a dazzlingly blue swimming pool and Jacuzzi sits in the middle of the space, with loungers perched next to the waters. Around the corner from this inviting scene is a covered terrace complete with a barbecue, ready for a culinary whizz to show off their skills. For lots of people, this would be enough to encourage them to book, but anybody that needs a little more persuasion need only look to the games room with tables for both ping-pong and pool, or to the designated fitness area. Alternatively, the fact that a golf course sits next door to the property — one of a colossal number in the local area — is sure to swing it for some of the undecided. Praia de Vilamoura can be reached in ten minutes by car when you want a paddle in the ocean, while the restaurants and bars of Vilamoura take half that time.
