Fabulous 3-Bedroom Villa in Quiet Residential Area

Villa Pacheco is new to VRBO and is part of a private condominium of 7 luxury villas. It is a truly outstanding 3 bedroom property in a peaceful, rural and secluded setting, which affords lots of privacy. Situated well away from the noisy tourist areas yet only 20 minutes walk, or a 5 minute drive, into Albufeira. A 5 minute drive finds you at the gorgeous beaches of Balaia, Falesia and Olhos D'Agua. Only 15 minutes’ drive to the stunning beaches of Praia de Sao Raphael, Evaristo, Do Castelo and Gale, which are further along the coast. A

Although situated just outside the centre of Albufeira it's only a 5 minute drive to the Old Town or the New Town (The "Strip" as it is sometime known). It is only a few minutes drive to everything you could possibly want, supermarkets, a pharmacy, many local shops and cafes. There is a mini-market available for essentials only a few minutes walk away, and also close to a couple of bars and cafes. There are plenty of shops, including Aldi, less than a mile away, but there is a good bus service and UBERS are inexpensive.

There is easy access to the A22 motorway and the EN125; driving time to Faro airport is 30 to 35 minutes, with Vilamoura only 15 minutes drive away. If you don't want to drive there is a bus stop close at hand with a frequent service into Albufeira, which takes about 10 minutes. Car hire is recommended but not absolutely essential, because UBERS are plentiful in Albufeira, wonderful drivers, clean cars and around €4 or €5 into the very centre of Albufeira or the beaches.

The villa sits at the end of the terrace of the condominium with its own large private garden, which is grassed (not shared with the other villas) surrounded by hedging. It is enclosed so safe for toddlers. There is a road nearby but road noise is not significant.

There is a large private pool shared with the other villas, but as the other villas are mainly owned by local Portuguese, who are are work during the day, it means the pool is usually very quiet. Sunbeds of course are provided in the garden area and beside the pool.

Everything from a dishwasher to a washing machine are provided. There are three large double bedrooms on the first floor, all have king size beds and fitted wardrobes. One bedroom has a well-appointed en-suite shower room. and the other two bedrooms share a well appointed family bathroom.

The property is fully double glazed, has an alarm system, Satellite TV (not Sky), heating, bedrooms are air-conditioned, Wifi internet, BBQ and garden lighting. There is a large parking area.
