This property is a few minutes' walk from a beautiful, long, sandy, clean beach. You can walk to Atura or Monte Gordo within fifteen minutes. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops to pick from. There's also an excellent supermarket/coffee shop/restaurant within five minutes walking from the Villa.
The Villa itself is described as 'wonderful luxurious 4 bed, 4 bath villa'. There is a small unheated swimming pool with some pretty basic garden furniture - hard plastic loungers with no cushions , a small sofa and two chairs with cushions but the furniture was not in great condition and cushions have seen better days. There's a good outside table and plastic chairs (no cushions) plus a non gas BBQ (you have to buy coal etc for the BBQ).
Inside downstairs living is a large sofa for four people at a push. Other than the sofa you'd have to sit on the hard dining room chairs. Kitchen is okay but we had to buy pretty much everything (olive oil, coffee, water, washing up liquid, cleaning liquid etc). Large-ish hall which is pretty handy and a downstairs shower room/WC/basin off the hall area.
First floor are three bedrooms - one ensuite (strangely the ensuite was for the children's room with bunk beds?!), one bathroom servicing two double bedrooms (they don't have ensuites). On the top floor is a basic bedroom with tiny ensuite and a shower which is unusable as it's so small! There is also a washing machine in the eaves of the top floor bedroom.
Outside attached to some of the bedrooms are lovely terrace areas which supplement the ground floor pool/BBQ/dining space. Unfortunately, there's no furniture on the terracing areas so beyond taking in the woodland views they don't actually service a purpose. That's a shame really as they would be lovely spaces if they were properly furnished (with decent quality outdoors furniture).
We would go back to this area again. Loved the peacefulness of the area and the beaches, local towns and people were a joy. Faro airport is 45 minutes away and the Villa is very easy to find. There's a few decent quality hotels nearby so if we are returning we would likely go there
