Villa do Silva Portugal

Situated in Lagoa, Villa do Silva is just a 10-minute drive from the beach and the attractive resort of Carvoeiro. Accommodating up to six guests, this modern townhouse underwent a full renovation in 2017, giving a new look to a house which was built in 1895, and features its own private pool and terrace.
The house has a contemporary feel with some eye-catching décor, and the beautiful terrace area is one of its highlights. Featuring a large, covered seating space with comfortable armchairs, it blends seamlessly with the indoor areas and the adjacent pool. At 8m x 3m, the pool offers privacy, shaded by the plants which surround it. Next to the pool is a large day bed for relaxing on post-swim. The ambience is striking – it will be hard to believe you’re in the centre of town.
Inside is a spacious living room with leather sofa and chairs and satellite TV with Netflix. The sleek kitchen is fully equipped with everything from a coffee machine to a dishwasher, and a wonderful garden room with dining table provides an atmospheric space to eat with friends.
There are three bedrooms in total – one in the main house, complete with separate bathroom, and a further two in the garden wing (one of them a twin), each with a beautifully-designed en suite bathroom.
Restaurants and shops are within 1km of the house, and with the beach just 5km away, that’s within an easy drive too. The relaxed resort of Carvoeiro has plenty to offer whether you are visiting with family or friends, from bars and cafés to boat trips and cave tours. You will also be well-placed for the region’s many golf courses, or to visit other popular destinations like Silves and Portimão. If you fancy going further, Lagoa can also offer bus trips as far as Lisbon or Seville.
With some of the most stunning beaches on the Algarve in the vicinity, Carvoeiro is a town well worth discovering. It has developed a compelling offer to visitors, with a good range of restaurants, bars and amenities amongst the traditional whitewashed buildings of its centre, and beautiful sightseeing opportunities in all directions.
Rugged cliff and secluded coves give the beaches of Carvoeiro plenty of character, with notable rock formations that have become attractions themselves. You can take a boat trip to see the caves of Praia de Benagil, where a circular ‘eye’ opening gives sight of a small beach hidden inside. Praia da Marinha, a short distance east, is considered to be one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, with incredibly transparent waters, and Praia da Carvoeiro, closest to the town itself, is a very pleasing spot too.
Along the clifftop, you can admire Carvoeiro’s enviable surroundings from the boardwalk – many of the caves along the coast are visible from this vantage point. Another notable sight is the beautiful Alfanzina Lighthouse, and you may also come across the A Boneca restaurant. While there are many places to eat in Carvoeiro, not all can boast the incredible location of this one, amongst the rocks and caves, giving it an unrivalled ocean view.
South of mountainous Monchique, at around 50 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport, Carvoeiro enjoys a great location west of that city. Well clear of the hedonism of the Albufeira strip, the resort has beautiful Portimão just 10km away, with its stunning marina and excellent shopping facilities, and golf courses and theme parks close by. You may also be tempted to take to the water in Carvoeiro, with wind-surfing, kayaking and sailing all possibilities. Lively bars and nightlife are plentiful, but if you would rather chill out, the cool vibes of Manoel’s Jazz Club could well entice you.
