This wonderful villa is on the cliffs above Praia d’Oura, and boasts spectacular sea views. You can even walk straight from the garden to the beach via a steep set of stairs – save some energy for the return climb though. The villa sits amid stunning gardens that make for a relaxing backdrop. We love the private pool, the courtyard, and the day beds that face the sea – where better to doze in the sunshine? You’ll be just a short walk to Santa Eulalia, with all of its bars and restaurants. What more could you ask for?

Home truths

    You’ll have private access to the beach via a steep staircase from the garden. This will not be suitable for young children or those with reduced mobility.

    This home shares its electric gates and driveway with a neighbouring villa. There’s a chance you may hear your neighbours when they’re in their pool or garden.

    There are stairs to climb at this home.

    The twin room in the courtyard can be set up as a king on request.

    Your host can provide access to a washing machine and dryer on request.

    Your host can provide a cot for little ones on request.

    Some of the decor here feels a little dated.

    While not every bathroom has been photographed, we expect the style and standard to be consistent with the rest of the home.

"We have used Plum Guide a few times and have always found the places we stayed and the Plum Guide service excellent from start to finish. Recently we rented an apartment in Venice. The apartment was perfect for our needs - well appointed, comfortable beds, right number of bathrooms, lovely kitchen and living areas. The location was also perfect for us - quiet neighbourhood but close to everything - quick access to 2 vaparetto stops and easy walks to almost everywhere Plum Guide service was, as usual, excellent"

About Algarve

With more than 300 days of sunshine per year and over 100 beaches dotted along its coastline, the Algarve is one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. The party scene is alive and kicking around the capital, Faro, Albufeira, and Praia da Rocha should you want it, but there’s so much more to this sun-baked corner of Portugal than the high-rise resorts of the coast’s centre.
