Beachy Brights

Situated in a resort along Albufeira’s golden coast, this villa will suit families looking to experience Algarve living. The minimal interior is functional but bright, with plenty of space to enjoy quiet moments and family time. While this is somewhat of a touristic location, you can unwind effortlessly within the privacy of this inviting villa – kids will love swimming in the pool while the terrace is primed for barbecued feasts. The coastline isn’t too far – with Praia da Ponta Pequena and Praia de São Rafael within walking distance. Though you’ll have local eateries at your fingertips, the centre of Albufeira is a short drive away, where you’ll find a more diverse array of restaurants.

Home truths:
*The beach, shops and eateries are within walking distance, though we suggest hiring a car to best explore the area – there's parking on-site
*Though this home is spread over two floors, there's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom for those with limited mobility
*The décor here is on the simpler side and the aesthetics are not up to Plum Guide's usual standards – we've made an exception to let this one into the collection on account of its great location
*This villa is located within a resort of holiday homes – you may hear some noise from your neighbours
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*Expect to see some signs of general wear and tear here
