Villa Micaela Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
This luxury villa with private pool stands out from the crowd. A striking red-brick building, Villa Micaela has a privileged position within the grounds of Aroeira Club resort. This famous and beautifully cared-for leisure complex consists of golf courses, tennis courts, spa and restaurants; all set within acres of protected parkland.
Sleeping up to ten guests, a double room and bathroom are located on the ground floor, and the remaining four bedrooms are on the first floor. Two of the places have twin beds which can be made as doubles and there is a further double room and a twin room.
Spacious and with light flooding in through four sets of glass doors, the open-plan lounge and dining room is ideal for sharing mealtimes and relaxing evenings with family and friends. The modern and well-equipped kitchen features an island and bar stools, ensuring each night’s nominated chef can be kept company.
Move outside, and you’ll emerge on the stylish outdoor terrace, complete with dining table and ten chairs. It’s easy to see yourself out here enjoying a leisurely al fresco breakfast to start the day. This delightful, raised space is large enough for a comfortable seating area, which lures you over for a second, leisurely cup of coffee. There’s no rush – you’re on holiday!
Four steps take you down to the sun terrace, where there’s space enough for everyone to pull up a chair or settle in for the day on a sun lounger. This is a sun-seekers paradise, but if the heat of the afternoon proves too much, you have two options. Move to the welcome shade provided by the pine trees on the lawn or take a cooling swim in your ten-metre long private pool.
You can see a stream from the end of your garden; part of the waterways running throughout Aroeira’s picturesque resort. Venture down here and be the first to try out the hammock, thoughtfully located in the shade of a pine tree. Heaven.
Villa Micaela is the perfect base for exploring the area. It’s just two kilometres to the beach and Lisbon is only twenty-five kilometres away. Occupying a prestigious plot within the grounds of the Aroeira Golf Resort, guests at Villa Micaela have access to two eighteen-hole championship golf courses, four tennis courts, a children’s playground, spa and tropical swimming pool, shopping centre, bars and restaurants. Wow!
To explore the pine forest and nature reserves surrounding the resort, you can hire bikes, book a horse-riding session or set out on one of the walking trails. Praia da Fonte da Tehla is your nearest beach. Living up to Portugal’s reputation of having some of the world’s best beaches, this thirty-kilometre stretch of sand is only two kilometres from Villa Micaela.
You can plan to spend the whole day here, with beach bars and restaurants providing great lunch by day and then a buzzing nightlife after dark. At least one day’s sightseeing in Lisbon is surely a must-do from Villa Micaela. This fascinating city is a historical treasure-trove, including a UNESCO world heritage site at the Jeronimos Monastery.
The castle of Sao George offers breath-taking views of the city, as well as an insight into Lisbon’s rich history. Children will love the Oceanarium; Europe’s second largest aquarium. If little legs tire of walking, take a whistle-stop tour of the sights from either an open-top bus or the famous number 28 tram.
Shoppers should head to the Chiado or Principe Real districts for a mouth-watering mix of Portuguese and international fashion and brands. When you’re ready to stop for lunch, the waterfront and plaza at Praca do Comercio have a great choice of eateries.
Find a table at one of the best seafood restaurants in Lisbon, a pavement café or international bistro. After your big day out, head back to Villa Micaela and laze your way through the rest of your holiday in luxury, at your private villa, garden and pool.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
