With panoramic ocean views from its location west of the town of Lagos, Villa Chantelle is a luxurious place to experience the Algarve. Looking out over a private pool and surrounded by verdant Portuguese countryside, the villa is just a short drive from the Atlantic and a number of beautiful beaches lined by rugged cliffs.

The main building features eight charming bedrooms, each overlooking either the ocean or gardens. Each room has a private balcony or terrace allowing you to enjoy these views to the full. When not hired out exclusively, the villa serves as a boutique hotel, so each room includes many amenities. Among these are 100% Egyptian cotton linen, air-conditioning, safety security boxes, televisions with optional DVD players and mini fridges.

Each room also has its own en-suite facilities – a decadent granite bathroom with underfloor heating, heated towel rail, luxury toiletries, bathrobes and towels. No bedroom is the same as another, so you can enjoy choosing the one which feels right for you. The master suite with its ocean view, separate living area and four-poster bed, is a particularly special choice.

At the bottom of a hill, a cosy two-bedroom cottage offers accommodation for a further three or four guests. The cottage has its own lounge, dining area and kitchen, and outside there is a large shaded terrace complete with barbecue and dining area.

The villa’s outside space will be one of the highlights of your stay. The swimming pool is surrounded by terraces, with tables, chairs and sun loungers waiting for you. The beautiful gardens feature fountains, ponds and an orchard – and there’s even an outdoor chess set.

There’s plenty to do inside as well – help yourself to a drink from the honesty bar, curl up with a book by the open fire, make use of the Wi-Fi or play a DVD or board game. Activities, excursions, airport transfers, massage treatments and all sorts of other things can be arranged, so you can be sure of excellent, personal service at Villa Chantelle.
