Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Private pool, shady pergola, alfresco dining area – this home nails the concept of outdoor living. In fact, with the Algarve's year-round blue skies and sunshine, you may never venture indoors. That said, we think the interior is cosy, comfortable and perfect for families and groups of friends. You'll find this home in quieter Quinta da Balaia. Not to worry, as you're still less than 2 kilometres away from Santa Eulália beach and walking distance from a shop and restaurant. Hotspots like Albufeira, Olhos de Água and the region's many golf courses are also a short drive away.

- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

Home truths
We highly suggest renting a car here, as the beach isn't really within walking distance. There are two private parking spaces available.
The second set of single beds may be pushed together to create a double.
Since the swimming pool isn't fenced, little ones will need to be supervised at all times.
The kitchen is a little dated, but it has everything you need to whip up a home-cooked meal.
If you plan on working from home, you'll find laptop-friendly workspaces in each bedroom.
