Villa do Silva

Situated in Lagoa, Villa do Silva is just a 10-minute drive from the beach and the attractive resort of Carvoeiro. Accommodating up to six guests, this modern townhouse underwent a full renovation in 2017, giving a new look to a house which was built in 1895, and features its own private pool and terrace.

The house has a contemporary feel with some eye-catching décor, and the beautiful terrace area is one of its highlights. Featuring a large, covered seating space with comfortable armchairs, it blends seamlessly with the indoor areas and the adjacent pool. At 8m x 3m, the pool offers privacy, shaded by the plants which surround it. Next to the pool is a large day bed for relaxing on post-swim. The ambience is striking – it will be hard to believe you’re in the centre of town.

Inside is a spacious living room with leather sofa and chairs and satellite TV with Netflix. The sleek kitchen is fully equipped with everything from a coffee machine to a dishwasher, and a wonderful garden room with dining table provides an atmospheric space to eat with friends.

There are three bedrooms in total – one in the main house, complete with separate bathroom, and a further two in the garden wing (one of them a twin), each with a beautifully-designed en suite bathroom.

Restaurants and shops are within 1km of the house, and with the beach just 5km away, that’s within an easy drive too. The relaxed resort of Carvoeiro has plenty to offer whether you are visiting with family or friends, from bars and cafés to boat trips and cave tours. You will also be well-placed for the region’s many golf courses, or to visit other popular destinations like Silves and Portimão. If you fancy going further, Lagoa can also offer bus trips as far as Lisbon or Seville.
