Sunshine yellow and with a sparkling swimming pool, this villa feels like a little slice of grandeur in sunny Albufeira city. It’s a five-minute drive (or twenty-minute walk) to the long stretch of beach the city is famous for. While a twenty-minute walk in the other direction sees you in the heart of the nightlife on Rua dos Bares. Head to the harbour if you fancy dolphin spotting or snorkelling trips. Or, choose to spend days on a sun lounger by the poolside. The private garden is shaded by trees and there’s dining for the whole group out here too. A barbecue grill can provide the alfresco feast. Head up to the balustraded first-floor balcony for a quiet moment alone. The living and dining room feels like a solarium, with a wall of conservatory-style glass looking out to the backyard. There’s a fireplace in here for chilly evenings, and glass sliding doors open up to the dining spot outside. Breakfast is best served in the sunny dine-in kitchen, which is more than big enough to handle the buzz of family mealtimes. Did we mention the games room? Airy and spacious, it takes up the whole basement with pool, ping pong and foosball.
