Spacious and Secluded Villa in Peaceful Countryside with Private Pool and Beautiful Gardens
Close to Picturesque Beaches and World Class Golf Courses
Sleeps 8 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
Built to make the most of its commanding and secluded hillside position, every aspect of this beautifully equipped villa offers stunning views across the unspoilt countryside of fragrant wild lavender, thyme bushes, olive and citrus trees. Surrounded by wide decking, the L-shaped pool is granted absolute privacy and with partial shade provided by a mature carob tree together with views over the garden and the countryside below, this is the perfect spot for lounging and swimming by day and enjoying a sunset drink and star gazing by night. As well as an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen is a specially designed outdoor barbeque (perfect for grilling meat and locally caught fish) and 2 shaded dining areas at both the front and back of the villa so it’s possible to eat every meal outside in great comfort. The villa has been designed for absolute relaxation but if you can drag yourself away, there are plenty of local tracks to explore and wonderful beaches and golf courses very close by.

Notes on accommodation
The villa has been designed for maximum comfort. All picture windows have fly screens, all bedrooms have an air conditioning unit that can also be converted to a fan heater in cooler months and there is also a wood burner in the living area. There is a high chair, cot and folding bed available for children but children do need to be supervised around the pool area. There are plenty of plastic glasses etc for use around the pool and bbq area but the villa is also fully equipped with china and glassware for use indoors.
Outside
Secluded, partially shaded swimming pool with extensive decking area all around (suitable for children only under supervision) and separate pool house with WC and shower. Plenty of chairs, loungers and parasols in the outdoor storage room where there is also a second drinks fridge. Beautifully landscaped garden gives onto sun terrace with bouganvillia-draped pergola and outdoor dining table and chairs and specially built stone barbeque. Both the pool and garden have lighting and look spectacular at night.
Coast/Beach
The beaches of the Algarve are stunning and there are beautiful ones about 12 mins away with clear water, gentle shore breaks and clean white sand. One is on Tavira Island and is accessed by a short ferry ride costing 1 Euro return and is worth it just for the boat ride. Once off the ferry, you'll come to the beach with plenty of restaurants, beach bars and umbrellas but the beach stretches for miles so if you want to pack a picnic and find somewhere secluded, you’ll have no problem!
Golf
The nearest courses to the East of Tavira include the world class and picturesque Monte Rei and Quinta da Ria (some 30 mins away by car) and as the villa is very close to the Spanish border, it is also possible to access some of the Spanish courses.
Travel
Faro airport is a comfortable 40 minutes away by car. Hiring a car is strongly recommended so that you can properly explore the fantastic beaches, markets, cafes and restaurants close by and many hire car companies will meet your flight at the airport.
Distances
The villa is 10 minutes from Tavira with all its amenities and 7 minutes from Santa Catarina where there is also a supermarket and market. Local beaches can be accessed in 12 minutes although there are plenty more beaches for exploring and which can be accessed by car further up the coast. Within walking distance from the villa (10 mins) is a friendly local bar, restaurant and hotel offering a typically Portuguese menu.
Further details
Tavira is located on the River Gilao, crossed by several pedestrian and one Roman bridge. The town remains authentic and retains its historic charm from the days when it was a thriving sea port and fishing centre and has plenty of great restaurants and cafes as well as a daily covered market (great fresh fish, meat, fruit and veg) as well as plenty of shops and supermarkets. The villa is also only 20 minutes from the Spanish border and a day trip to Spain makes a pleasant outing. Situated as it is in unspoilt countryside, many varieties of birds can be seen from the villa and more varieties (including storks, flamingos and spoonbills) can be seen on the salt flats around Tavira making it the ideal spot for bird-lovers. For those looking for some action, the series of waterways and lagoons that make up the nearby nature reserve of the Ria Formosa can be explored on foot, by bicycle or on horseback and information about hire is available at the villa. For yoga-lovers, the sun terrace is the perfect place for a practice while food-lovers will be delighted by the local delicacies available and the villa’s superbly equipped kitchen.
