Located near São Rafael, you'll be only a fifteen-minute walk from some of the best golden sandy beaches of the Algarve when staying at this contemporary villa. The real magic can be found outside on the terrace, where you'll find a private swimming pool, sun loungers and a barbecue. The open-concept kitchen living and dining area also offer a calming space to socialise or chill out after days on the beach. And since the local supermarkets, restaurants, and bars are just a short distance away, the villa gives guests the option of cooking up homemade meals in privacy or heading out to discover the local delights.
