Perched on the glistening Algarve, this family-size villa is the perfect setting for a relaxing coastal retreat. Inside, beige tones and traditional tiled floors give the home a rustic warmth, while the gorgeous roof terrace offers a lovely space to soak up the sunshine and take in your surroundings. Stepping outside, you’ll find plenty of other areas to unwind, from the outdoor dining space to the poolside sun loungers. Cool off with a quick dip in your private swimming pool, before drying off for lunch. The kitchen is fully equipped for rustling up a summer salad to go with a barbecue or a couple of snacks to accompany evening sundowners. All three bedrooms are bright and colourful, so whatever’s on your agenda, this place feels welcoming. If you feel like a change of scenery, pack up your seaside essentials and take the ten-minute stroll down to the golden sands and turquoise waters of Alagoa beach. When dinnertime arrives, you'll find a sprinkling of beachfront tavernas and bars, just a short walk from your door.
