Some of the key features that most of our guests much appreciate is the modern style and high finishings of the property, the lovely saltwater pool and tennis court as highlighted in our guest reviews. The other key feature also much appreciated is the location of the villa, that although in a rural area it is also near the sea and all other facilities and recreational activities. The villa is located within a valley in a natural reserve and is on an elevated position, offering wonderful views of the countryside all around but also of the sea at a distance.

The nearest town is Moncarapacho only 5 minutes away by car with shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, petrol station, internet café, pharmacy, doctors, dentist, banks, churches and museums. The nearest beach is Fuseta only 10 to15 minutes-drive from the villa but there are also many other Ria Formosa beach Islands such as Tavira, Armona, Culatra in the area. Add to that the fact that it only takes around 25 minutes from the airport. So, our guests get the best of both worlds in terms of a peaceful location combined with very easy access and short distance to beaches and other facilities. Why not try some of the Eastern Algarve golf courses many within 10-25 mins of the Villa. Championship courses like Cima, Castro Marim, Benamor, Ria and also a 9 hole par 3 just outside Moncarapacho at Colina Verde. There are an additional 5 more courses 20/25 mins away in Ayamonte on the Spanish border.

It also has many shops, restaurants and an entire summer festival.
