Cardos – lovely 3-bed villa with private pool, gated garden & seaviews
Casa dos Cardos – Peaceful 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool and Stunning Sea Views near Praia da Luz
Tucked away at the top of a quiet residential lane, Casa dos Cardos is a charming three-bedroom villa offering panoramic sea views, a private swimming pool, and a tranquil garden setting. Located just under one kilometre from the golden sands of Praia da Luz, this well-appointed home is ideal for families or groups seeking privacy, comfort, and convenience.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The villa features three twin bedrooms, ideal for families or friends travelling together.
One bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom.
The remaining two share a spacious full family bathroom.
Each bedroom opens onto a large shaded terrace equipped with a built-in charcoal barbecue and an outdoor dining area with table and chairs — perfect for al fresco meals overlooking the sea.
Living Spaces
The open-plan living and dining room is tastefully decorated in soft, calming tones and offers comfortable seating, a flatscreen TV with UK and Portuguese channels, and Wi-Fi throughout. Sliding doors open onto the terrace and garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The terrace provides direct access, via steps, to the private oval-shaped swimming pool, which can be heated upon request. This inviting space is perfect for relaxing in the sun by day or enjoying the tranquil atmosphere by night.
Kitchen
The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need for a comfortable self-catering stay, such as:
Fridge-freezer
Oven and hob
Washing machine
Dishwasher
Microwave
Kettle, toaster, and other essential appliances
Outdoor Living
Casa dos Cardos is set within a gated and fenced plot for added privacy and security. The surrounding mature garden is beautifully landscaped with soft lawns, vibrant bougainvillea, and a variety of trees and shrubs.
Although the property shares its overall plot with one other villa (Casa dos Gêmeos, owned by the same proprietor), the two are positioned to ensure each retains its own private space and seclusion. Outdoor lighting throughout the property ensures the evenings are as magical as the sunny Algarve days.
Location
The villa enjoys a peaceful hillside setting while remaining within walking distance of the beach, local restaurants, cafés, and shops. It offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience, making it an ideal base for exploring the Algarve.
Exclusivity
The entire villa and all its facilities are completely private and for the exclusive use of guests. Whether you are seeking a relaxing family holiday or a peaceful getaway with friends, Casa dos Cardos offers the ideal setting.
