The Green Green

A two-storey villa on the Troia Peninsula, this home caught our eye with its small pool (complete with a section especially for little ones) and terrace. The shaded alfresco dining area is perfect for barbeques, and sunbathers can soak up rays on the loungers. While the interior is a little dated in parts and a bit cluttered, there is plenty of space for everyone to mingle, and the windows let in plenty of light. And with two living rooms, you can break off into groups here too. If that's not enough, Troia Beach is within walking distance here.

Home truths:
*There's no air conditioning here, so it can be stuffy during warmer months.
*At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. This bed is only suitable for children.
*We think some areas of this home could do with a refresh, and some of the decor is outdated.
*One of the beds here is sunken, meaning guests need to climb in and out.
*Pets are allowed here on request.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced here. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.
