This idyllic, comfortable and modernised rural villa is available for your use only, with outstanding large and private pool air conditioning and fibre optic internet. It has everything you need for a great holiday in the continuously sunny and hot Algarve, nestled amongst orange groves, almond, olive, carob and fig trees. All this contributes to making this area scenic, beautiful and tranquil and it’s only forty minutes from Faro airport and fifteen minutes drive to wonderful beaches. This is a great walking area and the mountains are very close by to the north. Car hire is recommended but it’s only a short drive to wonderful historic Silves to experience its magnificent Moorish Castle and traditional market, as well as the great restaurants and supermarkets to be found there. Overall, the villa is less than fifteen minutes from many award winning beaches, restaurants, bars and and three water parks. For golfing enthusiasts the villa is ideally located with five Pestana Golf Resorts nearby. Silves Golf with its excellent course set amongst the palm trees and olive groves is only a ten minute drive away and Alto Golf, designed by the legendary golf course architect Sir Henry Cotton, is only twenty five minutes away from the villa.
A cosy and spacious living room with lots of seating areas and a real log fire provides a relaxing retreat with ceiling fans in every room and air conditioning units in the lounge and main bedroom. There is a TV with multiple internet channels and high speed (fibre optic) broadband. There are many assorted DVDs and games to play for children and adults, as well as pool floats and beach towels.
The modern kitchen retains its character whilst being well equipped with all mod cons , including coffee machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer, cooker and microwave. There is also a small cosy dining room.
Both bathrooms are new, modern and a good size with walk-in shower and bidet or bath with overhead shower and twin sinks. Both are equipped with towel heaters.
One bedroom has a king size bed with ensuite with bath and overhead shower and the second room has a super king bed or two single beds, according to preference, with adjacent bathroom with large walk-in shower, sink, bidet and toilet. Both bedrooms are a good size with heating and fans. One bedroom overlooks the garden and the other overlooks the orange groves.
The covered and large colonial styled terrace, equipped with seating, table, barbecues (gas and charcoal) and fans, overlooks the gorgeous gardens, providing great views of the countryside and the large swimming pool. Views are also great from the roof terrace during the day or at night to watch the sunset and star gazing, with a large sofa, armchairs and dining table for al fresco dining. The pool area is very pretty, private and tranquil, being well equipped with sun loungers, dining table and umbrellas to provide shade if needed.

About the host
Hosted by Steve and Debbie
We are a retired couple from UK and have had our lovely villa for nine years. We have been improving it every year and have spent many happy days enjoying the wonderful pool and locality. Different family members and friends, young and older, love staying in it too for its tranquility, traditional character, the great pool and beautiful garden and countryside, whilst they have enjoyed the fibre optic internet and being close to so many great attractions, water parks, beaches and great towns of the wonderful Algarve. We know you will love it too!
Why they chose this property
This villa is unique in that it provides everything you need to make a relaxing and enjoyable holiday to suit all ages. You are in the countryside amidst a farming area cultivating oranges, avocados and carobs, yet close to the beach and many holiday activities. The villa is traditional with contemporary amenities with fibre optic internet and modern kitchen and bathrooms, so you get a real feel for Portuguese living, whilst enjoying modern life. You can daily see the farmers going about their business whilst using the internet by the pool! The area is very quiet but not isolated, with villas and farmhouses dotted around.
The property itself has been lovingly modernised for ease of living but has retained its traditional feel. We have really given attention to outdoor space, includIng a desert style garden with fire pit and seating and a tiered aspect for different experiences. The garden has a real Mediterranean feel. All our guests have been delighted with it and the pool that overlooks it. In fact, a key feature is the magnificent pool and nothing beats lying by it sipping a cocktail and taking a dip.
What makes this property unique
We have spent a long time making the garden villa special and so the villa is more homely and private than other rentals. It is also exceptionally well equipped such as kitchen utensils, crockery, glasses and spices etc. There is also a huge variety of DVDs, books and games and great fibre optic internet and two satellites, offering Netflix, UK and other international TV channels. The furniture and furnishings are also of high quality. This makes for a more luxurious and comfortable stay. A manager on hand also helps your stay to run smoothly so you can relax and enjoy the villa and its beautiful surroundings.
