Villa Palmas de Albufeira

This magnificent property affords uninterrupted panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. The property enjoys large private gardens, which include vineyards, olive and lemon groves. The superb free-form swimming pool takes centre stage, surrounded by palm trees, with plenty of sun-loungers and outdoor seating provided. An 'outdoor kitchen' houses a built-in charcoal BBQ, plenty of space for preparing and serving food, and is also equipped with sink and fridge for your pool-side drinks and those long leisurely lunches by the pool. Inside, the villa provides comfortable spacious accommodation for 14 guests in 7 large bedrooms, each with their own en-suite facilities. Entertainment is provided in the games room in the basement, with a full-size pool table and table tennis.

This property is located just on the edge of Guia which is only a 15-minute walk, approximately ten minutes’ drive north is the popular and vibrant town of Albufeira. Guia is a lovely village which has become famous in recent years for its' selection of restaurants and is particularly renowned for specialising in "Chicken Piri - Piri", the traditional Algarvean spicy chicken cooked over a charcoal grill - delicious!
