With its miles of caramel-hued coastline boasting dramatic rock formations, quaint fishing villages and some of Europe's finest beaches, it's no surprise the Algarve is one of Portugal's most visited destinations. You'll find this delightful home in the laid-back town of Guia, popular amongst families and hiking enthusiasts. Perched on the coast and just steps from two beaches - Praia da Galé and Praia de Manuel Lourenço - you're in an ideal location for exploring the region. The lively resort town of Albufeira is a fifteen-minute drive away, while the region's capital, Faro, can be reached within forty minutes by car. This home impresses with its quintessential charm, bohemian interiors and palm-lined poolside. Inside, a warm colour palette and earthy textures create an inviting atmosphere. It's the perfect place for entertaining, with a fully-fitted kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, HD television and pool table. We love the riad-inspired dining room, where it's all terracotta tiles, Moroccan rugs and plush floor seating adorned in vibrant textiles. Spend your mornings here, sipping on coffee and gazing at the dreamy patio views. With ample outdoor spaces, enjoying the Algarve's glorious climate couldn't be easier. Catch rays on the sun-drenched patio or keep cool in the shade on one of the terraces. The little ones will love the charming outdoor play area, dotted with lush palms. Of course, the crystal-blue private pool is the star of the show. Come sundown, gather around the poolside dining table for a hearty alfresco feast prepared on the outdoor barbecue grill.
