This beautiful, well maintained, air-conditioned villa, set in an attractive garden 2 km west of the small fishing town of Carvoeiro, is quiet and secluded, and ideal for a restful family break. The heated private pool, with shallow-end step entry, is ideal for children. Direct off the large living room is a spacious balcony with sea views, a perfect spot for outside dining and relaxing over a cool drink.

There are four double bedrooms, all en suite and with patios, a very well-equipped kitchen, maid service three times a week. (There is fifth bedroom which is accessed from the garden, not the main house, that can be used to accommodate an additional two people in two single beds and small ensuite shower room and loo.) There is also the use of a tennis court next to the property. Great for families, with plenty to do and see in the surrounding area, sandy beaches, golf courses, cliff-top walks and varied restaurants. Alternatively, just relax by the pool and 'chill out'. Having free wi-fi exclusive for the villa, it allows you to keep on top of your emails but I am sure you would prefer to recharge, not reply!
