Stunning location. Superb views. Luxury living.
Set in the middle of a national park and just a few minutes' walk from the beach and local restaurants, Vila do Afonso is a superb place to stay for your holiday in the Algarve.
Situated near to the unspoilt fishing village of Burgau and under an hour from Faro airport, it would be difficult to find a more perfect place to experience the countryside, culture, beaches and entertainment of this lovely part of Portugal.
Even better, Vila do Afonso offers discerning guests a truly great villa for a great price.
Although a four bedroom villa, with only two bedrooms having ensuites, guests are, therefore, able to enjoy all the space and luxury of a four bedroom villa with private pool at the price of a two/three bedroom villa, making it ideal for couples and families alike.
Unusual in its design (the house is over three and a half floors and built around a circular staircase), the interior design of the villa makes the maxiumum use of all the space.
The light and airy living / dining room with fireplace and SKY TV opens out via large patio doors to the outside terrace and pool with its gorgeous views over the national park and to the sea. The handmade and highly specced kitchen is very modern in design with breakfast bar and separate utility room (with washing machine and drier).
The bedrooms (two ensuite) are all again, interior designed to maximise space and views, and the master bedroom has a superb private terrace overlooking the pool area and the countryside and sea - perfect for parents wanting an afternoon siesta whilst keeping an eye on the children!
With the villa being south facing, it is ideally situated to catch all the sun the Algarve has to offer, with the covered terrace and outside dining area offering shade for the really hot times of the day. There's even an outside kitchen with barbeque to help guests make the most of day and evening alfresco dining.
Talking of evening, when the sun goes down, Vila do Afonso becomes a haven of romance and tranquility as the lighting around the gardens and pool has been designed to provide the perfect setting for private cocktails, family dining or a romantic retreat.
Alternatively, if guests can lure themselves away from the beauty of the villa and its surroundings, there are several Portuguese restaurants within a few minutes' walk, including a superb beach bar offering excellent meals at the side of the sea.
For beach lovers, it is just a short walk through the national park down to one of the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve - which even in summer is uncrowded and the perfect place to watch the world go by at the superb beach bar/restaurant.
Other beaches are within just a short drive and the wild and wonderful West Coast with its surfing (said to be better than in Australia) is within easy striking distance. Nearest shopping is a flat, 2km walk away to the unspoilt fishing village of Burgau, with more facilities being avialable in the popular holiday resort of Luz (3.5 km) and the bustling town of Lagos (5km) both being less than 6 km.
In summary, a holiday at Vila do Afonso is one that will not be forgotten as it offers everything couples and families could want - luxury living, superb views, peace, serenity and tranquility - and all within just a few minutes' walk of the beach and restaurants.
