Outside, thereâs a lovely covered dining terrace with far reaching views due to its elevated position. Steps lead from here down to a great pool terrace, a poolside shower and a couple of parasols offering some welcome shade. Round the back (accessed from the kitchen and bedrooms, is a little yard with space to BBQ, and sit and dine, new stone walls have just been completed giving it a lovely cosy and modern feel.
The renovation transformed the villa from a traditional cottage into a stylish and practical villa, whilst keeping the original pretty exterior and gated pool terrace. Its cool and bright interior with sunny rooms and furniture make for an excellent holiday for small families or group of friends.
The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is lovely and bright with lots of natural light and is very tastefully decorated bright colours and modern, high quality furniture. The living space has two comfy sofas, a large flatscreen TV and DVD player as well as complimentary Wi-Fi internet. Between the living area and kitchen is a modern dining table and four chairs. The American-style kitchen is very stylish, with white units, black worktops and chrome appliances including a large fridge-freezer, oven and microwave. There are patio doors leading from the living area to a lovely, wooden pergola covered dining terrace.
There are two air conditioned bedrooms - one double and one twin - both are light and brightly decorated with large wardrobes and patio doors accessing the garden. The double bedroom has an en-suite shower bathroom. Thereâs also a house shower bathroom meaning thereâs a private bathroom for each of the bedrooms if you choose to use them as such.
The air conditioning is in the bedrooms only.
Casa Dos Pais is a wonderful addition to our portfolio of Portugal villas, and has everything that you wish for in a family villa - great outdoor space, bright, modern interior, and its in a great location.

Walking distance to supermarkets, shops and restaurants
The property was ok in general, but there were problems. The map reference was incorrect to find the entrance. The beds were solid foam and not very comfortable. The AC in the lounge hadnât worked for some time and we werenât told. The house is next to a yard that sells building supplies, so there is noise (check Google maps). The pool was nice and the kitchen is well equipped and very clean. Itâs ok, but very expensive for what it is.
Casa Dos Pais is very central to all amenities- Cabanitas Bar is really good. Nice cocktails and delicious home made chips. The pool at the Villa was a good bonus as the weather was so hot and great to cool down in.
