Tucked away in the small town of Guia, just a fifteen-minute drive from Albufeira, this charming home is in an idyllic location for exploring the Algarve. Here, you're a short walk away from the soft sands of Praia da Galé, a tranquil gem boasting an enchanting landscape of rock formations, golden dunes and natural pools. Visit on balmy evenings for a front-row seat to glorious sunsets. You'll find this home on a leafy street, nestled in a cluster of white, terracotta-tiled villas. Inside, rooms are cloaked in a colour palette of warm, earthy tones and adorned in Moroccan inspired decor. Painted a regal shade of blue, you'll love cooking in the fully-fitted kitchen. Brew your morning coffee here and sip it alfresco on one of the ample balconies. Indeed, this home impresses with its outdoor spaces. Spend leisurely days on the sun-drenched patio, or lounge in the shade under the riad inspired covered terrace. There's also a playground for the little ones and a quaint garden, fenced-off for absolute privacy. We love the private pool, a sparkling oasis bordered by lush palms and a rustic, cerulean-tiled barbecue grill. After a day of exploring, gather here for evening cookouts before retreating indoors for a friendly game of pool. On cooler nights, spend time curled up by the fireplace reminiscing on the day's adventures.
