The villa is nestled in the quiet village of Alvor and offers beautiful beaches, riverside cafés and a traditional harbour, where guests can enjoy the local cuisine with friends.

Smaller Alvor is a pretty resort with a historic center - a never-ending sandy beach and water sports are on offer here, while more pictueseque beaches can be found heading east to Carvoeiro. Guests looking for more activities will enjoy the Alto golf course, located 5 minutes from the property and is known for the longest hole in Europe. While the resort of Praia de Rocha is 8km down the coast for those after a buzzy nightlife scene. Faro airport is a 45-minute drive away. Portugal is very child friendly and all the restaurants and cafes welcome children.

Style Notes
Contemporary country house. This spacious and comfortable villa retains a traditional Mediterranean style and stylish features to suit family living. The villa is furnished with all modern appliances and sleek new bathrooms offset by laid-back natural materials such as wood and wicker to create a rustic yet luxurious feel. The bedrooms are neutrally decorated for a relaxing vibe and most open out to the terrace area - great for looking out over the view as you wake each morning. The living room is cozy with large modular sofas and an open fireplace for the short winter months. We love the dark tiling throughout the property, the rattan outdoor seating, and the spacious upstairs terrace.
