If you are looking for a quiet base without being off the beaten track, this attractive, modern villa could be perfect. One of a group of terraced, townhouse-style properties sharing well-tended communal gardens and a pool, it boasts a really restful atmosphere without being too far from amenities. The centre of Vilamoura, for instance, is just five minutes away by car, with sandy beaches just a little further on. Golfers are well catered for, too, with a golf course beckoning from only a kilometre down the road.

The property itself is decked out in simple and contemporary but comfortable style. Minimalist-inspired furnishings and neutral shades take centre stage in the dining and living areas, creating a cool and uncluttered feel. The look continues into the bright and smart kitchen, which is fully fitted with appliances for your convenience - a dishwasher, microwave and coffee-maker amongst them. The two bedrooms are situated upstairs on the first floor and are equally stylish and unfussy.

Both bedrooms share an upstairs bathroom, whilst downstairs there is a further bathroom. Outside, the villa has its own large, al fresco terrace, which is shaded from the sun and gazes straight out over the communal pool with its terraces and sunloungers. If you want to sunbathe quietly, you will also find plenty of peaceful spots in the surrounding gardens. They are beautifully designed with paved pathways, palms and ornamental shrubs, giving them a parkland-like feel.

NB. A refundable breakages deposit of 200 euros is payable in cash on arrival.
