3 Bedroom Villa – Sesmarias, Albufeira

This delightful 3 bedroom Portuguese style semi-detached house is perfectly located a few kilometres west of Albufeira, near to São Rafael and Coelha beaches. It sits well back from the road in its own private garden which contains a good sized kidney shape pool surrounded by lawn, bushes and trees. There is a fixed outdoor covered area with a barbecue ideal for al fresco dining.

The accommodation itself is cool, spacious and well equipped. It sleeps 6-8 people. There is a sofa bed in the lounge if required.

Beaches and restaurants are within easy walking distance – the beautiful coves of São Rafael and Coelha being less than 10 minutes and just a few steps away there is a mini market and café.

Location

From Faro Airport, it is approximately a 40 minute drive.

In the immediate area, there are some absolutely wonderful beaches. Coelha is the closest, less than a 10 minute walk or so. This is a cove backed by high cliffs with a beach bar/restaurant and if you like walking there is a good cliff top walk. About the same distance in the opposite direction and you will come to São Rafael - this consists of two sandy coves and has a very good beach bar/restaurant. A few minutes in a car will bring you to Castelo, Evaristo and Lourenço, all picturesque sandy coves. After this you arrive at Galé, a wonderful long flat expanse of sand safe for children and a great place to watch the breathtaking Algarvean sunsets. For the more energetic, you can walk from Galé to Armação de Pera along the beach, a distance of some 3 or 4 kilometres. Additionally there are many smaller coves scattered along this part of the coast, some only accessible by foot. Most of the beaches have sun beds and there is a variety of water sports on offer at Galé.

Immediately next door to the villa there is a mini market where you can buy most things for your everyday needs. Within easy walking distance there is a choice of good restaurants and bars. Within a few minutes drive there is a wider selection of restaurants, ranging from traditional Portuguese to Chinese, Indian and Italian.

Just 5 minutes by car is the lively Old Town of Albufeira where there are numerous restaurants and bars, live music, shops, banks, post offices, tourist information and most things you need for your holiday in the sun. On the way you will come across Albufeira's colourful new marina.
It is still evolving but it already offers a relaxing atmosphere with bars, restaurants and shops and entertainment during the summer months. Here you can also pick up many water borne activities such as boat trips, fishing, dolphin watching and jet ski hire.

Golf courses are plentiful along the Algarve, the nearest being Salgados, which is a 5 minute drive. The 2 new courses at Alcantarilha “Faldo Amendoeira” designed by Nick Faldo and “O’Connor Amendoeira” are about a 15 minute drive as are the 9 hole courses at Balaia and Pinecliffs. Others, such as the 5 award winning courses at Vilamoura and in the opposite direction Vale de Milho, Gramacho and Pinta (near Carvoeiro) are no more than a 30 minute drive.

Many of the Algarve’s attractions are within easy reach – Zoomarine, where you can swim with the dolphins, Water parks, Krazyworld, numerous excursions, safari trips, diving, horseriding, tennis and more.

Car hire is not strictly necessary for your stay at this villa, but to make the most of your holiday in the Algarve we would recommend it for at least part of your time.

We can arrange personal airport transfers to the villa and have a car delivered to you there should you wish.
