Villa Pietra Portugal

Around 6km from the beach and within a short drive of both Carvoeiro and Portimão, Villa Pietra sits amongst beautiful grounds with large terraces and a private pool. Its peaceful location is ideal for a relaxing break in the Algarve, and the villa can accommodate up to ten guests in its five bedrooms.
Surrounded by palms and tropical plants, Villa Pietra’s 9m x 6m private pool is a special treat – and even if you don’t jump in, you can still enjoy it from the comfort of an adjacent sun lounger. The terrace provides a covered area, dining table and chairs and a barbecue and pizza oven, as well as relaxed seating areas.
Patios doors lead you inside to the main living room, spacious and open with a fireplace and large TV and DVD player. There’s lots of room to sit, and to dine, with 10-seater dining set for more formal meals. The kitchen is equipped with essentials and luxuries alike, including a Nespresso machine, wine fridge and breakfast bar. All the rooms have to air-condition and are connected to a central Bluetooth sound system.
A twin bedroom with en suite is located on the ground floor, while the other four bedrooms are upstairs – three with a king-size bed and one with a double. Two of these have direct access to the large terrace which overlooks the pool, and their own en suite or a nearby bathroom. The other two share a large bathroom with a decadent whirlpool bath with step access. Natural light floods into the villa, adding to its light and airy feel.
It’s a short drive to the town of Lagos, and the village of Estombar has a number of amenities just 1km away. Also, close by are the Slide & Splash water park, ideal for a family day out, and several golf courses.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.
