Luxury villa with heated pool

The south-facing, lovingly built and furnished villa is located near Porches in a very popular urbanização, quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac. Shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, and all other facilities for daily needs are only a few minutes away and sometimes within walking distance.

This villa is very special. The property was heaped up before construction, so that it has an elevated position and offers a beautiful view of the other, well-kept villas and the surrounding area. In addition, the villa was built from Ytong stones, which guarantee a pleasant, naturally cool temperature in summer and do not let the house cool down in the winter months.

On the ground floor there is the very large living and dining room with a separate kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a guest toilet and a utility room, as well as an equipment and tool room with access from the garden. The kitchen directly adjacent to the dining area was specially made by the carpenter and is equipped with high-quality appliances and has a separate storage room. The two bedrooms are spacious, have large fitted wardrobes and each has its own bathroom with underfloor heating.
Large glass doors lead from the living room to the partially covered terrace, the heated pool and the very well-kept garden with exotic trees, many shrubs and palm trees. A tall hedge surrounds the fully fenced property and offers complete privacy. The large BBQ area, with a brick table with marble top and benches, can accommodate up to 10 people.

The upper floor can be used as an independent apartment. It has access from the entrance area on the ground floor, as well as via the fairytale "Cinderella stairs" on the right of the house. There are 2 bedrooms, a spacious bathroom with underfloor heating and another room that is currently the 3rd Bedroom is used. However, it is an open bedroom as it also serves as a passage for the other two bedrooms on this floor. Since it has a fireplace, this room can also be used as a living room. The large, sheltered terrace offers a wonderful view.

Spacious villa in perfect location
Perfect villa for our holiday. Plenty of space for the family to relax. Pool, terrace and gardens were lovely. The villa is a short drive to the beaches and the local supermarket is a few minutes by car. The only downside was lack of oven but even that had an upside as it meant my teenage son left his room and improved bbq skills. We were there when the temperature was in the late 30’s and the villa had a lovely breeze coming through it. Sonja was attentive before and throughout our holiday which is reassuring. All in all a fantastic holiday in a stunning villa. Thank you

Relaxing and beautiful location
The villa was a wonderful place to relax. We swam in the pool, and had lunches outside on the patio. Sonja quickly addressed some minor issues and we were set for the rest of our stay. The location is good if you want to explore the beautiful beaches in that area. We visited several and they are all a 15 to 20 minute drive away. It was very convenient as we had to go back to the house and out again frequently. There are nearby grocery stores if you want to cook and several coffee places and restaurants within 5 minutes. I wish we had more days to explore more! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely home, but not as advertised
The photos of the house accurately reflect the property. Both the inside and outside are lovely. Unfortunately, the overall listing is significantly inaccurate which led to difficult discussions with the property owner. First and foremost, in conflict with the listing, the house *does not* have air conditioning of any kind - not central air, not window units, nothing. The owner tried to explain to me that the materials used to build the house act like a/c - that was not sufficient and we were uncomfortably hot most nights and did not sleep well. Second, the listing indicates internet access, which in this case was a cellular wireless access point that delivered less than 40 kbps (which is what you might have expected in 1999). The owner told me that we shouldn't expect good internet in Portugal. We went and bought sim cards for our phones and had 800 kbps connections. There is simply no need to provide such a poor connection. Third, the listing indicates the beach is 900m away. This is simply not true - per Google map, the property is 2.9km from the beach. It is misleading to suggest otherwise. I addressed my concerns with the owner via a call the first day and she indicated a willingness to "do whatever is necessary including giving us a credit" to make things right. The property manager did provide 2 fans and warm up the pool as requested - these small gestures were appreciated. Regrettably, now that our stay is concluded she is not offering anything and sent me a terse note instead. Based on the correspondence I've had with the property owner, I anticipate she'll see to discredit my comments. What I can say is I've rented more than 20 properties via VRBO and Homeaway over more than a decade and have never had such an experience and have never written a negative review. If the owner updates the listing to be factually correct - removing reference to a/c, the distance to the beach and finding a suitable internet service, future renters can have a positive experience.

Perfect house in Algarve
We are a family of 5 and a senior. We rented the house and used it both as a relaxation “paradise” and the base for our discover of the Southern part of Portugal. The property is an oasis of peace and quietness but very close to beaches and downtown restaurants. The pool and the bbq area complete a top class property.

Villa spacieuse et entretenue
La villa est idéalement située à quelques minutes des plus gros points d’intérêt d’Algarve. La propriétaire est à l’écoute et très facilement joignable. Je recommande cette villa pour son rapport qualité/prix.
