Boasting ocean views in the distance, this villa on the Algarve presents a scenic spot – perfect for a relaxed family holiday. The landscaped gardens filled with Mediterranean fauna and flora create a calming setting from which to laze by the private swimming pool. Meanwhile, the villa's interiors (while dated in terms of style in parts) are dedicated to comfort and practicality. All of the bedrooms feature an en-suite bathroom, giving all guests a piece of privacy. Meanwhile, you'll be within convenient driving reach of resort towns such as Quinta do Lago and the Algarvian coastline.

Home truths

    Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to maximise your stay. There is private parking available on the premises.

    Please note the swimming pool is open from April to October.

    The home is spread across two floors, so it may not be suited to those with limited mobility.

    The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

    In winter, the host provides the first basket of logs for the log burner fireplace.

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...
