Villa Iolanda Portugal

Villa Iolanda is a magnificent holiday home that will make your stay in Portugal a truly magical one. Villa Iolanda boasts a charming and welcoming entrance with trees growing up the front pillars and a stunning paved garden with delightful seating areas.
The L-shaped pool lies in front of a beautiful mini stone garden behind glass. The area contains plenty of sun lounges available at your disposal with palm trees in between them.
Neat hedges lie at the edge of one side of the villa, and a large veranda sits just outside of the entrance with various places to sit on it, allowing you to completely take advantage of the great climate and eat meals al fresco.
The holiday villa has a peaceful ambience due to the luscious grass and glorious palm and pine trees that make up the garden. Guests will appreciate the outdoor dining area for eight that is adorned with table flowers and can be covered with an umbrella. There is also an outdoor barbeque for wonderful get-togethers any time of day or night.
Inside, the modern white kitchen is decorated with lovely contemporary artworks on the walls and holds an elegant staircase leading up to the first floor. The vibrantly coloured dining room overlooks the veranda and is in an open plan style with the quaint, cosy living room with a flat screen television.
If visiting during the winter, you will specifically enjoy the villa’s second, slightly larger living room that is furnished with plush, sink-in grey sofa chairs for evenings unwinding inside. The bathrooms are bright and enhanced with calming, subtle colours, making for an indulging and relaxing experience.
On the first floor lies the villa’s gym what better motivation to stay in shape than an uplifting sunrise workout while taking in the alluring surrounding landscape. The gym leads out onto a solarium which is the go-to destination for catching all of the Mediterranean suns.Villa Iolanda is located inside the gorgeous natural park of Arrábida. Nearby is the village of Azóia with the Mother Church of Santa Iria da Azóia remaining a wonderful historical attraction.
Built in the 18th century, the church boasts unique artworks inside that depict the life of St. Peter and the legend of Santa Iria which are decorated onto tiles on the interior of the building.
The nearest beach is Praia da Foz at only 3km away from the villa. The small and attractive beach is calm and uncrowded. Located in a cove, this beach has lively sea waters and is surrounded by remarkable rocks. 
It is great for the ultimate relaxing experience where you can lose yourself in nature. The fishing town of Sesimbra is only 7km away from the villa and is home to the beautifully enchanting Castelo de Sesimbra that is situated on a hilltop.
After a 230m climb, the castle provides a breath-taking bird’s eye view of the charming town especially at dusk and dawn when watching the sun go down over this delightful town and coastline. The site also holds an exhibition that depicts the history of the castle, allowing visitors to picture the lives of those living in ancient times.
The Cabo Espichel is a rocky and scenic headland that provides a dramatic example of the region’s exceptional nature. The site is visited for its impressive towering cliffs and huge crashing sea waves. The Cabo Espichel also has a café where travellers can enjoy a much-needed rest with drinks and traditional Portuguese home-cooked dishes.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
