Villa Evora Portugal

Villa Evora is just a short drive away from the lively resort of Carvoeiro. But this beautiful private villa and pool sits within a deceptively large plot, separated from the rest of the world by mature trees and lawns, and so enjoying its quiet corner of the Algarve.
Sleeping just eight people, Villa Evora’s interior is cosy and inviting. The living room and dining room are found at the heart of the house, in an airy space reaching up beyond the mezzanine floor. Open-plan, warmly decorated and ideal for sharing with family and friends, this friendly room is where you’ll catch up, relax, eat together and plan trips out.
The well-equipped kitchen is also connected via an arched hatch and doorway to the dining room. From here, you have an additional place for mealtimes, with a fabulous view of the garden and table tennis for post-dinner entertainment!
Villa Evora has four bedrooms, two with double beds and two with twin beds. All are air-conditioned and share two bathrooms which include two showers and a bath.
Move back to the lounge and dining room and step out through either set of patio doors. The quite unusual dappled shade, created by the intricate roof canopy, forces you to stop and admire your fabulous veranda. Cold enough for al fresco lunches even on the hottest of days, this spacious outdoor dining and lounge area will be a shade-seekers’ favourite spot. Dine al fresco morning, noon and night here, or sit with an unhurried cup of coffee or glass of wine.
Beyond this shady retreat, you have your very own private pool. The attractively tiled terrace is dotted with sun loungers and overlooks the garden, and from here, you can also catch a tantalising glimpse of the ocean. Afternoons will pass effortlessly for swimmers, splashers, dippers and sunbathers.
Your large, lawned garden wraps around one side of the villa and features lovely pine trees and Mediterranean plants which not only offer privacy but welcome shade for those running and playing despite the heat. Children will be delighted to discover a tree-house and swings at the end of the garden. Villa Evora is perfect for families!
At just five kilometres from Villa Evora, head to Carvoeiro town for shopping, tourist attractions and restaurants. Praia da Marinha is less than two kilometres away, and golfers are spoilt for choice. Start with Vale do Milho Golf Club.The closest beach to Villa Evora is Praia da Marinha. Admittedly, you must negotiate a steep road and then steps down to sea level, but once you’re there, children and grown-ups alike will love the cliffs, impossibly blue water, pristine sand and small coves just perfect for exploring.
If you prefer a beach with easier access, head east to Armacao de Pera or Carvoeiro, all are within a short drive, so you’re ideally located for days at the beach, or even just a couple of hours, before or after the heat of the afternoon.
Packed with tourist attractions, fabulous beaches, restaurants and shops, Carvoeiro town is just a short drive from Villa Evora. Popular with overseas tourists, there is something for everyone here. In between sunbathing severe, sandcastle building and wave jumping, you can take time out at one of the many beach-front cafes or restaurants for a classic Portuguese lunch of Piri-Piri chicken, calamari or sardines.
The iconic sandstone cliffs of the Algarve line the beaches, and coastal resorts but are best viewed from the sea. Book a boat trip from Portimao harbour for excursions along the dramatic but beautiful coastline and to visit ancient caves in hidden bays. If you’re lucky, you may even be joined by a pod of dolphin.
Portimao harbour is also the place for water sports. Kayaking, sailing, surfing and snorkelling are all available to book from here. For a fun-filled day out, the infamous Zoomarine water park is just thirteen kilometres from Villa Evora. Packed with rides suitable for all ages, an animal park and dolphin display, remember your sun cream, towels and spare bathers – in case you lose some on the slides!
Back at base, if golfers fancy practising their swing, Vale do Milho Golf Club is just five kilometres from your private villa and pool, or Vale da Pinta is near Lagoa. With so many beautiful places close by, Villa Evora’s location is perfect for enjoying the very best of the Algarve.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
