This white-washed villa puts Albufeira at your fingertips. The marina is a short stroll away, golden beaches are a five-minute drive, and Old Town's restaurants, shops and cafes are twenty minutes on foot. Not a bad spot to call home. The garden is perfect for enjoying afternoon swims in the pool (which can be heated for a cost) as well as alfresco meals under the stars. Inside, the single beds can convert into doubles to suit your needs, and the lower-level games room has a sofa bed that can sleep the ninth and tenth guests for an additional fee.

Home truths
Although none of the bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
The ninth and tenth guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the lower-level games room. As this isn't the most comfortable space, we think it's best for children – it also costs to use.
The single beds can be pushed together to create double beds on request.
Albufeira is within walking distance, but we suggest hiring a car for ease. There's parking available.
