Villa Iriana Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Just 800m from the beach at Carvoeira, Villa Iriana is a modern and spacious property with excellent facilities including a cinema room and private swimming pool. Up to 12 people can be accommodated in its six bedrooms, just 2km from the centre of the resort.
The outdoor areas feature a large, partially covered terrace, with seating and sun loungers around the pool. The open pool house also offers an outdoor kitchen, dining area and a barbecue. The villa is ideal if you enjoy outdoor sports, with various golf courses and a tennis club within a short drive.
Indoors, there’s a comfortable living room with a fireplace and plenty of seating for everyone. It has direct access to the garden and pool through double doors.
Another set of doors will lead you back into the kitchen and dining area – a modern, open space which is fully equipped with a dishwasher, wine fridge, microwave and much more. The large, attractive dining table is great for getting together for dinner, or just for a coffee. There is also a separate room with a bar just off the living room, which can be used for all sorts of purposes.
The master bedroom is complete with en suite bathroom and can be found on the ground floor. Four more double bedrooms are upstairs, sharing two more bathrooms, and one of these has a balcony overlooking the pool and out to sea. The last bedroom, a twin, is down in the basement, as are a laundry room and the cinema room with loads of DVDs to watch on the big screen.
The many beautiful beaches around Carvoeira are one of the highlights of the area, and you can also enjoy a wide range of restaurants and bars around the village. It’s a great family destination too, offering water-sports, cave tours, boat trips and a water park.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 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.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
