Surrounded by undulating hills covered in olive trees and sweet-scented pines, this villa offers a scenic Algarve getaway. One of six villas in the valley, you’ll find a private pool and a shaded dining area, perfect for alfresco barbecues. The ground floor twin room offers direct access to the patio area, while the main bedroom on the upper floor has a picturesque balcony with views over the hills. The decor is rustic with beamed ceilings and natural materials, providing a traditional setting if not the most luxurious – however, the rural vistas more than make up for any missing bells and whistles. When you need to stock up on supplies, the village of Picota is 5 kilometres away, while Tavira – with its shops, restaurants and beach – is 11 kilometres from your door.
Home truths: *This home is laid out over two floors with a narrow winding internal staircase leading up to the main bedroom on the upper floor. The twin bedroom is on the ground floor with direct patio access.
*While the pool is gated, the area around it is narrow with a steep drop. Children should be minded at all times when by the pool.
*There's a dedicated desk in the twin room should you need to catch up on work. Alternatively, the dining table can also serve as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*We recommend having a car here to get the most out of your stay. On-site parking is available, though please note that access to the villa is via 2.5km of unsurfaced rough track. For basic provisions, Picota is 5km away where you'll find a supermarket.
