Ferragudo and Surrounds, Algarve, Portugal
A classic-style villa not far from Carvoeiro, with a large pool and sun terrace perfect for the gorgeous Algarve weather.
Not far from some of the Algarve’s best beaches, this classic-style villa is a great example of traditional Portuguese style. It’s rounded and whitewashed, with a gorgeous but simply styled exterior, and there’s a huge wrap around terrace that basks in the first floor views of the ocean and garden. Bougainvillea-blessed gardens are beautifully well-kept, and there’s a heavenly blue-tiled swimming pool out back (available to be heated for an extra cost). With lots of loungers and brollies, there are plenty of sunbathing spots on the huge sun terrace, alongside a lovely outdoor table for al fresco summer meals. Inside, the villa represents a mix of traditional Moorish style with contemporary comforts. It’s traditional but classic, with lots of antique features and pared-back walls. The main living areas can all be found on the first floor – there’s a modern kitchen with a breakfast bar and access to the veranda for the great sea views, plus a large living/dining area with high ceilings and a contemporary smart TV. Head downstairs for the bedrooms – there are two twins with a shared bathroom, and a master king size double bedroom with a modern en suite walk-in shower room. All of the rooms follow a similar traditional style, and include patio doors that lead out to the pool or lovely garden.
Set on the banks of the River Arade, Ferragudo’s white buildings tumble down the hillside to the waterfront and there are several excellent beaches nearby. The stretch of coast from Carvoeiro to Lagos is dotted with busy family resorts, but this doesn’t mean these pretty fishing villages and coastal towns have lost their charm. History abounds inSilves and Lagos’ Old Town, while Albuferia offers all the usual delights of a big resort town.
