In Albufeira's gorgeous São Rafael, this stunning villa is well-equipped for a fabulous stay. The large private pool, heated for an additional cost, is surrounded by sun loungers and a barbecue area for alfresco dining. All the bedrooms and living areas benefit from air conditioning, and while the style is a little plain in some rooms, in the basement you'll find a fun-filled entertainment area complete with a billiards table and bar. Beaches, shops, restaurants, and bars all are within a twenty-minute walk. That said, you may want a car for ease – especially if you plan to explore further afield.
