Surrounded by orange and almond trees and with a commanding position atop a hill, this home in the Algarve provides an escape high on tranquillity. You can enjoy flexible sleeping arrangements here thanks to the outbuilding – great if you're travelling with staff or teenagers – while the home has plenty of space to relax indoors and out. There are enough sunbeds for everyone, and the kids will love the mini football pitch and basketball court. The popular beach resort of Albufeira is just a short drive away, while history buffs will want to visit the red brick castle at Silves.
