About this property

A beautiful villa set in a quiet rural location

A beautiful villa set in a quiet rural location with stunning sea views. Originally a Portuguese farmhouse it has been extensively modernised to provide excellent accommodation. The villa is south facing and the garden captures the best of the sunshine whilst offering maximum privacy. From the villa you can look out across the pool with a backdrop of a superb sea view.

This idyllic accommodation provides all you need for long lazy peaceful days in the sun, whatever the season.

The surrounding area is full of natural beauty throughout the year and is ideal for anyone wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of every day life. With a beach and plenty of restaurants (within) just 15 minutes walk, you will not have far to travel.

A car is recommended to enjoy the magic of the area with five or six beautiful quiet beaches and coves within a few minutes drive.

For those wishing for some night life the town of Carvoeiro is 10 minutes drive away and has some lively bars, restaurants and plenty of boutiques and shops.

If you can raise yourself from this idyllic retreat then there are numerous golf courses within 30 minutes of the property and for the family the two great water parks on the Algarve within 20 minutes drive.

The property is one villa that has been sub divided into two separate villas, each sleeping four with their own kitchen and bathroom, making it an excellent choice for two families or friends sharing. The two villas are linked via an internal interconnecting door. The pool and outside area are secluded and not overlooked by other properties. The villa is set in its own grounds and off the beaten track.

The property has recently had two newly refurbished bathrooms, kitchens and lounge furniture.

The property does have wi-fi if for those that need to keep in touch.



Accommodation
The whole property consists of two master bedrooms, two twin bedrooms, two bathrooms, two lounges each with access to the pool and garden and two kitchen/dinning rooms.

A BBQ is also provided together with tables and chairs for outside dining. Loungers and parasols are provided for use in the garden and pool area.

Steps at the side of the property lead to a large roof terrace, perfect for peace and quiet while watching the sunset or enjoying the night time sky.

Towels and bed linen is provided. Please provide own beach towels.

The garden area is well maintained and the pool is checked and cleaned weekly.

Weekly maid service is provided. Additional maid service available upon request. Cot and high chair available if required.

What a lovely apartment. From the time we booked the communication was perfect. We had all details needed for check in very quickly. information about the surroundings. I had a bit of trouble finding the property from the address but Edgar replied immediately with directions. Everything was very clean and very well equipped. We hadnt realised there were two apartments next to each other but we were the only ones there for our stay. Very good restaurants within walking distance. Very peaceful. Very nice pool.

Excellent

A very special holiday as we haven’t seen our New Zealand family in over 5 years. The villa was very spacious and welcoming and having a private pool made it even more special. Keith the owner was excellent in his communication with me and answered all my questions which made it even more relaxing before we even arrived. Edgar who managed the property was so friendly and welcoming, we had a very slight issue with the pool lights and Edgar sorted it the very next day. He has a wealth of knowledge of the area and it’s surroundings which was a great help. The property was cleaned once a week with fresh linen and towels. The pool man came once a week to check the pool. You do need a car to get around. Our holiday was amazing the only negative was the two weeks flew by and it was time to come home. Thank you Keith for allowing us to stay in your wonderful villa hope to come back next year

Séjour exceptionnel !

Tout était présent pour passer un excellent séjour. La piscine était grande et appréciée après une bonne journée de marche. Les deux maisons permettent d’avoir une certaine intimité tout en étant proche. La situation géographique est parfaite. Les maisons sont bien équipées : il manquait peut-être des objets gonflables pour la piscine et du sel/poivre/huile/vinaigre dans la cuisine.

Tres bien

La maison elle est bien spacieuse, la piscine aussi très bien. Le seul bémol c’est la literie dans les grandes chambres, il est temps de les remplacer. Le nettoyage est fait mais superficiel, peut mieux faire. En général tout s’est bien passé et on a passé de bonnes vacances.

Casa do Gemeos, Aug 2019

The property was in a really peaceful, quiet location which was not overlooked. It is a really lovely, well maintained villa suitable for both a large group or two families and all essentials were available. The manager and owner were very accommodating when we changed the numbers at quite short notice even allowing us to arrive early and stay late.

Ein herrlicher Ort für entspannte und unkomplizierte Tage

Wir waren da zu siebt für 10 Tage - und haben es sehr genossen. Im Haus findet sich alles, was man für einen Selbstversorgerurlaub benötigt. Die beiden Küchen haben wir uns in etwa aufgeteilt in Frühstück bzw. Abendessen. Dass in den Queensbetten für 2 Personen eine Decke vorgesehen ist, ist nicht für jeden Mitteleuropäer der Hit. Die Lage des Hauses ist allerdings schon der Hit. Tatsächlich ruhige und ländliche Umgebung, und dabei doch nur 15-20 Minuten zu Fuß zum herrlichen Strand von Benagil (Kleiner Schwimmexkurs zur Höhle - oder Kajak mieten). Wer will, kann weiter die Küste entlangwandern - einfach gigantisch. Mit dem Auto ist binnen max. 1,25 Stunden nahezu jeder Ort an der südlichen Algarve erreichbar - ob einsam oder geschäftig. Wer zum Wandern auch ins Bergland von Monchique möchte, sollte bedenken, dass dort im August 2018 großflächige Waldbrände wüteten, und die Beschreibung "Schattige Wälder" zur Zeit nicht zutrifft. Der Ort Monchique ist dennoch sehr charmant und einen Besuch wert. Wieder "zuhause" ist der Pool ist gepflegt, wird regelmäßig gereinigt und ist mittlerweile (anders als auf den Fotos) zum Schutz für Kinder mit einem kleinen Zaun und Türl beidseitig der Dusche vom Wohn-/Terrassenbereich abgetrennt. Als das Duschwasser draußen mal nicht ordentlich ablief, war Edgar prompt zur Stelle. Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen.

Ein wunderschönes Haus, wir waren 7 Leute und wir haben einen Traumurlaub gehabt!

Anlage exakt wie auf den Bildern, unglaubliche Aussicht, tolles Pool, ganz nah an vielen Stränden. 2 Waschmaschinen und eine große Wäscheleine waren sehr hilfreich - wir waren 2 Wochen da. Hausmeister ist unglaublich nett und war sofort da, als das Internet nicht ging, hat die Box ausgetauscht. Wir kommen wieder! Danke für die schöne Zeit!

Best holiday we've ever had

I stayed here with 3 others (we are 2 couples) in late June and we are absolutely in love with this place. The villa has 2 sections and each come with a master bedroom, twin room, kitchen, lounge and bathroom meaning that it you rented the whole villa there is ample room for up to 8 people. We spent most of our time by the villa in the pool, which had a cleaner who came once in the week but it wasn’t really needed as the pumps alone kept it clean enough to use. The location is beautiful and is only a few minutes walk from the small village of Benagil which has a great restaurant (O Algar I think) that is managed by the villa’s caretaker. He made us feel welcome and gave a great service. We absolutely loved our trip and are already planning our next one. Thank you!

Very pleasant!

We had a very pleasant stay. Geraldo Diaz who looks after the villa was very helpful and friendly. The house is in a very good condition. The pool was cleaned regularly. We can really recommend it! You can easily walk to the sea by foot (15min only). At night it can be a little cold outside. Therefore, fleece blankets or jackets would be advisable. We have discovered a very good Indian restaurant "Paradise" in Carcoveiera (the food is delicious!!) and we had a lot of fun in "Tapas no Bucho" in Lagoa (very nice waiters; however, don't order too much! The food is a bit greasy)

Rustiek gelegen, schoon en praktisch.

De villa ligt in een mooi en rustiek gedeelte van de Algarve, met Carvoeira en andere steden, bezienswaardigheden makkelijk in bereik. Het huis is schoon, praktisch en geschikt voor 8 personen zoals onze familie. Het zwembad is genieten en wordt zeer regelmatig schoon gemaakt. De beheerder is erg vriendelijk en voorkomend. Er is helaas geen airco aanwezig maar de ventilatoren door de beheerder gebracht, maakten de hoge temperaturen enigszins dragelijk 's nachts.

Rustig en mooi gelegen!

Heerlijk dubbel huis. Ideaal voor 2 families. De beheerder was enorm vriendelijk en deed erg zijn best om voor alles te zorgen. Hij heeft zelfs een nieuwe kinderstoel gekocht omdat deze niet aanwezig was. Vanaf het huis heb ik prachtige kustwandelingen gemaakt en met de auto waren de mooie strandjes snel te bereiken.

Why they chose this property

The peace and quiet creates a wonderful relaxing environment to enjoy your holiday. The villa is set in it's own grounds, is not overlooked and not on a complex. If you want to sit by a pool, play with family and friends or read a book, with no distractions this is the place for you.

It's location offers beach, bars and restaurants within walking distance and a short cars ride to all the Algarve attractions.

To support this we have refurbished the villa to provide all the comforts you will need.

What makes this property unique

Without doubt the key benefit is that the whole building has been subdivided into 2 seperate villas. This means that if you wish to holiday with family or friends you can enjoy the holiday as a large group but with the privacy of your own space.
