Nestled amongst fields and an orange grove in stunning Sesmarias, this graceful villa waits to welcome you home with open arms. Perfect for a large group of family or friends, you couldn’t ask for a better social space. There are plenty of areas to gather together, but if you crave a little quiet time, don’t worry, you’ll also find lots of little nooks where you can escape with a good book and a glass of port to while away the hours. With two well-equipped kitchens, you’re spoilt for choice to show off your culinary skills. All you’ll need is some fresh local produce and dinner is sure to be a hit. Of course, you may not want to cook – you’re on holiday, after all – so if not, you’ll find a gorgeous bistro just a short stroll away. If you feel like stretching your legs a little further, it’s around a twenty-minute walk to the silky sands of Gale beach, where you’ll find some beautiful fish restaurants and coffee shops. Prefer to spend your days soaking up the sun? This villa has you covered with a tranquil outdoor space. The garden, with an array of flowers, wraps around the pool....
