In The Clearing

Set in complete seclusion and serenity, this family-size villa is ideally suited for a large group looking to bask in the beauty of the Algarve. You're just a twenty-minute walk from the charming town of Tavira, offering friendly taverns and bars. On top of that, you've got access to a private swimming pool and a large rooftop terrace, so you can soak up your stunning surroundings over an alfresco lunch in the shade.

Adopt the pace of nature and slowly make your way down to the pool for a few morning lengths, before roaming the well-tended gardens with a fresh cup of coffee. The villa makes for seamless indoor-outdoor living, with a comfy lounge area and sleek bi-folding doors that invite the warm weather inside. Flopping down on the sofa for a bit of respite, you'll feel a calmness wash over you, as the gentle breeze continues on through. The decor is vibrant, the kitchen has everything you need to rustle up dinner, and all four bedrooms are just as colourful, making the place perfect for families.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the area, you'll be able to catch a ferry, just twenty minutes' walk away, over to beach island where the golden sands and turquoise waters of Praia de Cabana await. Later, if you're feeling peckish, there's an array of seafood restaurants on your route home.
