Villa Andorinha Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Just 800m from the beach, this Moorish-style villa can accommodate up to 14 guests and lies just 1km from the centre of Carvoeiro. With a beautiful coastline and two golf courses nearby, Villa Andorinha includes an impressive 14m x 5m private pool and its tennis court.
The main swimming pool is accompanied by a children’s pool which can be used as a hot tub, and an outdoor dining area in the covered area of the terrace provides a shaded spot for breakfast or dinner. You also have a barbecue, seating areas and a large garden, as well as several sun loungers lined up around the pool.
On the ground floor, the villa has a large living area with French doors opening onto the terrace. There is a comfortable seating area with TV and DVD, plus a dining table and chairs and a fireplace. The kitchen is equipped with facilities including a dishwasher, coffee machine and fridge freezer.
Also on this level are a laundry room, guest cloakroom and four twin bedrooms, all with en-suite and one with access to the poolside. Upstairs, you will find three more en-suite twin bedrooms, each with access to a small terrace.
The villa is well located for a variety of bars, restaurants and shops around Carvoeiro, many less than 1km away. This popular resort boasts excellent beaches including centrally-located Praia do Carvalho, Praia de Benagil, Praia de Vale de Centeanes and the highly-rated Praia da Marinha.
The larger city of Portimão is around 10km away, a great shopping destination and home to an attractive marina and the famous Praia da Rocha beach. Younger visitors will love the area’s adventure parks, like Slide & Splash, while a trip a little further north into the mountains of Monchique will be a rewarding experience for everyone.
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 unusual 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 charming 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 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 windsurfing, 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.
