Nestled in the heart of the Algarve – on the outskirts of Loulé – this peaceful home is the perfect setting for a family reunion or group getaway to Portugal’s stunning south coast. From the private pool to the breath-taking views, there’s nothing not to love about this place, and we could easily imagine ourselves unwinding here for days on end, sipping cool drinks and soaking up the gorgeous sunshine. There’s something for everyone here, so you won’t have to worry about running out of things to do. Play a game of tennis or pétanque in the great outdoors, indulge in a solo yoga session under the fig trees, or treat your fellow guests to an impromptu piano performance in the sitting room. Then – if you’ve got any energy left come dinnertime – throw a couple of burgers on the barbecue and tuck into an alfresco meal under the stars. Bliss. It's not just the home that caught our eye here, though – its surroundings were right up our street too. Whether you fancy going for a quick dip in the Atlantic, embarking on a hike through the Portuguese countryside, or mixing with the locals in the heart of town, this place has got you covered, situated within easy reach of a whole host of interesting places. Day trip, anyone?

Local guide
About Loulé
Algarve's largest municipality, Loulé, is a tale of two halves. Along the coast, you'll find Portugal's foremost holiday resorts – buzzy Albufeira and the more laidback Quarteira – loved for their sweeping shores hugged by dramatic red sandstone sea cliffs and endless sunshine. If you're after somewhere a little more exclusive, the seafront resorts of Quinta do Lago, Vilamoura, and Vale do Lobo – famed for their world-class golf courses...
