A rustic paradise on the Algarve, this fabulous villa offers an authentic Portuguese experience with stunning waterfront views and a private garden equipped with its own pool. Spend lazy mornings whiling away on the poolside sun loungers before rustling up a grilled feast on the barbecue at lunchtime. The alfresco dining area serves as the perfect mealtime perch for enjoying relaxing leisurely moments in the sun. But, of course, you'll also find space to serve formal meals inside the dining room. So why not follow sociable group meals with some healthy competition in the games room? With a pool table, arcade machines and table football to play with – the kids can keep entertained while the adults crack open a bottle of local Portuguese wine. Located just 500 metres from the sandy beach of Praia Castelo, you can be sunning by the sea in no time. Meanwhile, you'll be just a kilometre away from Gale city, the local supermarket and restaurants.
