My husband was interested in a place near all the best golf and he found it. I was looking for a peaceful villa away from the tourists but central enough for trips to the beaches and towns nearby for daily excursions - while also finding a place from which I could paint. We both found what we were looking for. Walks to fountains, lunches at the beach, climbs along steep steps, incredible hidden gems of restaurants off the beaten track. The villa itself was beautiful. We grilled lamb chops we bought from the local Mercado for Easter dinner, fresh fennel and delicious fresh bread and desserts! We loved the villa! If we return to the Algarve, we would definitely stay there!
