    The house is beautiful. Incredibly spacious and well equipped (kitchen). The bedrooms were comfortable as was the lounge area with the fireplace. The pool area would be perfect for the warmer months. We had the best stay

This countryside villa goes beyond being a residence, emerging as a genuine haven of tranquility harmoniously balancing nature's serenity with vibrant surroundings. Conveniently located just a 10-minute drive from the captivating Praia da Luz beach and a mere 5 minutes from the authentic village of Burgau, it seamlessly merges privacy with accessibility. An idyllic coastal path presents a picturesque route to Praia or Burgau for those seeking a charming on-foot experience. Nestled within a sprawling 3000-square-meter property, this villa distinguishes itself among two residences that share the space, boasting a unique character of its own. Crafted for families, couples, and those seeking an unforgettable getaway, our offer extends beyond the conventional stay. The villa serves as an ideal escape from the daily hustle and bustle, providing an opportunity to reconnect with nature. It's a space where cherished memories are created, children can thrive in safety, and parents can unwind in tranquil surroundings. In essence, this villa transcends its status as a residence, extending an invitation to serenity, family togetherness, and exploration. It stands as the quintessential refuge, offering a chance to escape the relentless pace of daily life, rejuvenate amid nature, and cultivate precious memories with family and friends.
Seven years ago, we settled in the Algarve, just before the birth of our son Théodore. It has been over twenty years since we left France. With Géraldine, we have traveled to every corner of the globe, lived in the United States in several states, and pursued a variety of professions. We spent some time in Central America, where I worked as a diver. While sports have long been one of our driving forces, culture and curiosity for others have undoubtedly played a major role in our lives. Today, we have made our home in the Algarve, and without exaggeration, we believe it is one of the most serene places in the world. The population density is reasonable throughout the year, with a peak in July and August, admittedly. It is an ideal place to live simply as a family, away from the hustle and bustle of cities and the chaos of large crowds. In the west of the Algarve, there are no skyscrapers, but rather vast expanses of space and endless beaches. Our life is simple and revolves around our family. Raising a child in the west of the Algarve is a privilege. The values of the region, infused with nature, adventure, and humanism, align perfectly with our well-being. Welcoming visitors to our home is more than a source of income; it is an opportunity to meet families from afar and contribute to making their precious vacation moments a successful and joy-filled experience.
The villa is ideally situated in a tranquil and picturesque environment, providing easy access to the coastal trail leading towards Praia da Luz or Burgau, whether by walking or biking. Nearby, you'll discover all essential amenities such as grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, pharmacies, and more. In the neighboring village of Almadena, you have the option to rent a bike and even plan a circuit to explore the region, courtesy of Musette Bike. For those seeking a unique sea experience, I highly recommend reaching out to Rodrigo, a passionate marine biologist. Families and friends can embark on an unforgettable adventure with Algarve Dolphin Lovers. For the more adventurous souls, consider booking a sunrise paddleboarding tour. Dave will expertly guide you through the breathtaking coastline between Praia Dona Ana and Ponta da Piedade, offering a truly magical experience (Nowhere2far sup-tours). Families and those with children will delight in exploring the numerous beaches along the coast. Additionally, I suggest visiting the tree-top adventure park situated just above Meia Praia Beach, set in a beautiful pine forest (Parque Aventura in Lagos). Should you prefer a more relaxed day, you can unwind and enjoy quality time both at home and around the pool. Children are welcome to jump on the trampoline and play on the swing.
