NEW FOR 2026
Portugal’s sunny Algarve coast is a smart choice for a gently active holiday with friends or family, be it watersports or land-based fun. Charming Casa Camelia puts you just a few minutes’ walk from the local tennis club, where you can use the courts (including padel) and gym on a weekly membership or pay-and-play basis, ideal for access to top quality amenities whilst enjoying the freedom of having your own individual villa.
Camelia has all the curvy lines and character of a classic Algarve villa, complemented by distant sea views and terraces on both the ground and first floor level so you can follow the sun all day long. If you prefer the shade then there’s a deep, bougainvillea-draped veranda with comfortable outdoor seating and a shaded area with dining table for outdoor meals. The whole house is light, bright and generously sized for one or even two families. The convenient location means that there are other similar villas around but nothing that overlooks the pool or terrace areas, so the space is all yours to relax and enjoy.
The villa is located in Sesmarias, on the outskirts of Carvoeiro. There are a few restaurants, shops and a supermarket within a 15-minute stroll, and Praia dos Três Castelos is also reachable on foot in about 25 minutes if you don’t want to use the car. Both Carvoeiro and Ferragudo are less than a 10 min drive away, or if you’re heading out for dinner you may prefer to use one of the plentiful taxis and Ubers that are readily available.

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!
