This single story villa has been beautifully converted, offering all modern conveniences but retaining the charm of a typical Portuguese home.
In the bright living room, an open fire is surrounded by comfortable armchairs and large sofas (including one sofabed) and French doors give easy access to the terrace. There is also a small dining table and chairs, as an alternative to the outdoor dining facilities in the courtyard. Satellite TV is also a bonus. The villa's kitchen is small but has all essential appliances and a breakfast table.
There are two twin bedrooms which share a bathroom. Both bedrooms are bright and beautifully decorated. A cot can be provided on request.
The villa is reached by a private driveway which ends at a cobbled courtyard with outdoor seating and dining area - it is a fantastic spot in which to enjoy the shade on olive trees on hot days.
Guests also have access to a washing machine.
