Located a short drive from the Algarve's southern coast, this villa doesn’t have sea views, but there’s still plenty to write home about. The pool and gardens are the main attractions here, though the villa is attractive in its own right, and has enough room for a large group. There are two twin bedrooms so it’s better suited to families rather than couples – the rural location also makes this a more family-friendly option than a bustling city.

Home truths:
*Well-behaved pets may be welcome to accompany you during your stay, with prior approval from your host
*Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car – there’s free parking here
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request
*The twin bedrooms are on the ground floor so are suitable for those with reduced mobility
*There is no air-conditioning here – it may get a little warm in summer
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised
