Perfect for a family getaway by the coast, this bright and breezy villa in Albufeira boasts sparkling sea views – best enjoyed from the private balcony over a bottle of wine, although the vistas are visible from many rooms inside, too. Some of the bedrooms are a bit of a squeeze, and the balcony is the only outdoor space, but with Túnel beach just fifty metres away and a great selection of beachfront eateries to enjoy, you’re likely to spend most of your time lapping up the Portuguese sun away from home.

Home truths:
*There's a desk here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
*This home is spread over multiple levels with internal stairs – it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
*It's possible you might hear some noise from the beach during your stay
*You'll have your own private entrance here
