Beautifully designed and filled with natural light, the villa offers stylish single-storey living with generous indoor and outdoor spaces, making it perfect for families or groups seeking a high-end Algarve escape.

Ideally situated within walking distance of shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach, the property also enjoys close proximity to several golf courses and some of the Algarve’s most spectacular coastal scenery.

On the right side of the villa are two further stylish bedrooms, each with their own sink and shower area, while sharing a separate WC, offering a practical yet elegant arrangement for families or friends travelling together.

Outside, the villa continues to impress with beautifully designed outdoor living areas centred around a private swimming pool surrounded by terraces for relaxing in the Algarve sunshine. An exterior dining area and fire pit create the perfect atmosphere for long evenings outdoors.

Upstairs, a spectacular rooftop terrace offers panoramic sea views and a truly unique entertaining space.

Gabriel's review

We were very please with our stay overall. Unfortunately, only the fireplaces shown and advertised in the photos in the listing were not functional. That was a bit of a shame, as we had been really looking forward to being able to use them during our stay.

Villa Cactus - luxury modern villa

Fantastic Villa - great space inside and out, and well equipped. Short walk to small local restaurant, small Spar, and bar, and only 5mins to centre of Carvoeiro by Uber (€6-ish depending on time of day) for vast array of other restaurants, bars and shops. Couple of minor things - at this 5* price point should really include enough basics such as toilet paper / kitchen roll / dishwasher tabs to last the whole stay. Same for basics such as salt / pepper / oil without having to pay extra for the welcome pack. Also would be helpful to have instructions for video intercom for opening gates to allow deliveries. Else was all great

Stephen's review

Villa Cactus is sensational, It lives up to all of the images and, unlike most many listings I have experienced, it exceeds expectations. We absolutely loved it. Both indoor and out, the whole property has been very stylishly designed and furnished with virtually every potential requirement catered for – meals inside, barbeques outside, swimming and sunbathing, watching the gorgeous sunsets, indoor and outdoor games, watching a movie in the snugjust relaxing in the spacious livingbedrooms, all in luxurious comfort. There are multiple seating areas outdoors to enjoy, and we particularly liked the large plunge pool on the roof. Minor enquiries that we had were quickly and competently dealt with by Katherine and the team from Elite. After an exceedingly comfortable and relaxing 10 day stay, our only regret was not having booked more time but we hope to be back soon!
