Simple yet comfortable, this villa ensures a stress-free stay for all of its guests. To the rear of the home, there’s a fenced swimming pool (ideal if you have the little ones in tow) and a covered terrace with a built-in barbecue for grilled lunches in the sunshine. While the interior isn’t the most inspiring, there’s enough space for the whole group to relax. Beach-wise, Praia do Castelo is around a fifteen-minute walk away and Praia do Galé’s three miles of golden sand is reached in a couple of minutes by car.
