Sitting on a hillside, this traditional villa is treated to luscious views over the rolling fields. Your vantage point of the rural Portuguese landscape is a lovely reminder that you’re far from the hustle and bustle of daily life – here, you have every opportunity to unwind under the sun. For that extra touch of relaxation, the home conveniently features double facilities – extended families can use their own living space and kitchen, meeting in the outdoor space to socialise. It's out on the patio where we imagine you’ll be spending most of your time. Surrounded by a wildflower garden and flourishing trees, you’re immersed in the natural beauty of the Algarve. Spend lazy days relaxing by the pool, taking a dip to cool off before retreating to the shady pergola. When talk turns to food, get some local produce going on the stone barbecue for a hearty Mediterranean feast. Your relaxed outdoor dining space is the perfect spot for an evening of good food, wine and spirited conversation. For a change of scenery, hop in the car and take the twenty-minute journey to Tavira. Enjoy an evening walk around the fishing town, along its beach, marvelling at the Moorish architecture, before choosing a spot for a delectable seafood dinner.
