Villa 67 Areias dos Moinhos

If you’re looking for an Algarve getaway to truly escape from it all, then add Villa 67 Areias dos Moinhos to your holiday wish list. This abode is situated just a short walk from the centre of Carvoeiro with delightful narrow cobbled streets filled with markets, souvenir shops, and historical churches.  Bejewelled with a golden sandy beach bordered by rocky cliffs, a paradise beach day is never too far away. Bursting with traditional Portuguese character, the exteriors draw upon the authentic charm of the region with rounded turrets and lemon-painted walls. The interior overflows with simplicity and style, with a fresh white colour scheme that brightens up the space. The lounge is enchanting with its old-style brick wood-burning fireplace nestled in the corner, overlooked by a pair of plush sofas. Fenced with wide glass sliding doors, the room is illuminated by the seeping sunshine. Chefs amongst the party will be in awe of the contemporary kitchen, with a dining table to serve up any culinary creations. Built across one floor, you’ll find three spacious double bedrooms to sink into after a busy day of sightseeing.

You’re instantly drawn to the outdoor space, encircled by lush greenery and citrus-tree woodland. For the sun-seekers, head to the poolside loungers to top up the tan and have a siesta in the sunshine. For water lovers, dip your toes in the generously sized swimming pool – start with a soul-soothing morning swim, followed by an afternoon splash with the kids. For the foodies, there are two brick-built barbecues perfect for whipping up family feasts in the warm Portuguese sun. Tuck into dinner under the shaded veranda, with a six-seater outdoor dining table to gather around. For a closer look at the glistening coast, the roof terrace treats guests to sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea.
