You also get beautiful sea and mountain views out towards Monchique, plus 1.5 acres of landscaped gardens which are all yours to enjoy with family and friends, just a short drive from the centre of Carvoeiro.
This cherished property is used regularly by its owner during the winter months, and is therefore well equipped with all the comforts of home to ensure an effortlessly relaxing holiday. The interior is bright and airy throughout, with a central glass atrium and three ground-floor bedrooms. The real show-stopper here is the first floor master suite, which has a separate dressing room and opens out onto a huge terrace with loungers and lovely sea views.
Summer guests are likely to spend most of their time outside, making the most of the glittering swimming pool, barbecue corner and the multiple little seating areas in the sun and in the shade. The gardens are gorgeous, with carefully tended flower pots for colour around the pool, grassy areas for little ones needing play space, and palm trees to enhance that indefinably wonderful on-holiday feeling. There’s a handy minimarket, a bar and restaurants within a 10-minute walk of the villa, while Carvoeiro’s beach, shops and many places to eat are just a few minutes away in the car.

Algarve holidays promise a wealth of different experiences and landscapes, whether you choose a private villa or a hotel as your base.
Portugal’s most southerly region boasts an iconic and instantly recognisable coastline of fine sandy beaches backed by ochre-yellow cliffs, sea stacks and rock archways that stand testament to the power of nature. Inland, there are rolling hills dotted with citrus and olive groves, plus crumbling castles, mountain villages and walking paths to explore. The Algarve is unique in enjoying an Atlantic coast with a Mediterranean climate, attracting not just holidaymakers but also a wide variety of birdlife that flocks to the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
And despite its long term popularity as a villa holiday destination, the Algarve has retained pockets of real character in its old towns and regional capital Faro, where you can still eat well relatively inexpensively. Portuguese cuisine is in our view one of the most underrated in Europe, so prepare to be deliciously surprised by fresh fish, hearty stews, sweet pastries and of course, world-renowned wines: saúde!
