Surrounded by a lush smorgasbord of Mediterranean vegetation, this Algarve villa is just the right level of rustic – it has the look while still offering plenty of amenities. Outside, you'll find various seating areas perfect for lazy afternoons, while the barbecue and al fresco dining areas let you spend more time in the sun. But let us not ignore the interior – it boasts authentic charm, with exposed stone, timber beams, terracotta tilling and cane-beamed ceilings aplenty. Should you decide to part with the home for a short while, you'll find villages, market towns, and beaches a short drive away.
