Burst of Sunshine

Burst of Sunshine: Algarve

Situated in Albufeira on the stunning Algarve coastline, this elegant villa is a cool, calming place to retreat to after exploring this stretch of southern Portugal. Step inside and the decor is clean and neutral, with high gloss tiles providing a bit of sparkle and a vibrant teal sofa taking centre stage in the living area. Natural light floods into the room from the generous windows and patio doors, enticing you out into the garden to enjoy the warming rays of the sun.

The outdoor area isn’t vast, but it certainly packs a punch. The sparkling blue pool offers a welcome spot to cool down in the Portuguese heat. After a spot of swimming, climb out and settle down on your bright yellow sun loungers, like bursts of sunshine surrounding the pool. Pour yourself a glass of nicely chilled white wine, grab your holiday read, and while away a few hours getting lost in a story as your loved ones chat happily around you.

When you’re keen to get out and explore, take a trip into Albufeira for a bite to eat, or if the coast is calling your name, it’s just two kilometres to the sands of Praia Mónica Isabel beach. With bags to explore in the area, you’re spoilt for choice.
