We love the design of Villa Charlota, with its Portuguese curved walls, turrets and grand pillars. The manicured garden, pretty pale façade and natural stone surrounding the pool make this villa stand out from its neighbours. Another highlight is the level of privacy which it affords, with gates, hedging and walls surrounding the property. Enjoy sunbathing by the pool or relaxing with a book in the outdoor lounge area.

Capable of housing up to eight adults, Villa Charlota has been recently refurbished. An open-plan living and dining area comprises comfortable sofas, flat-screen TV, a dining table, and patio doors which lead to the terrace. If you’d like to take advantage of the afternoon sun and dine outside, there’s a great al fresco dining spot under a shady cover. With a traditional BBQ and plenty of fresh produce at hand, you’ll be tempted never to leave the villa!

This gorgeous four-bedroom villa is situated near Gale. If you’re a foodie, you’ll love the village, as it is famed for its excellent authentic cuisine. The nearby town of Guia is also just a short drive away, famous for its Piri Piri chicken. The stunning, sandy shores of Castelo and Gale are close by and if you want to enjoy some shopping or a night on the tiles, then the popular resort town of Albufeira is only four miles away.
