This beautiful villa, tucked away in the Portugeuse countryside, offers plenty of space for relaxaction but it's not so secluded that it will rob you of experiencing some of the finest beaches and sights, all just a quick drive away. Step inside to find bright interiors, exposed beams, and a homely atmosphere that'll make you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. Though some standout features include the vaulted ceilings in the living room, the games room, and your private cinema, the outdoor area is the true hero. Imagine relaxing under one of the daffodil-yellow patio umbrellas as you soak up every last bit of sun before cooling down in the private pool. The pool house offers another space in which to get comfortable with a glass of wine, but it's also where you’ll find the outdoor kitchen and pizza oven. Put your dough skills to the test, baking your creations before enjoying it alfresco with an ice-cold beer. Wander around outside to discover various seating areas, but don't miss the rooftop terrace – it's perfect for sunset drinks or nightcaps under the stars.
