Villa Malhao

Situated in a rural area of western Portugal, Villa Malhao is a rustic and homely property offering guests an idyllic and serene getaway in the heart of the countryside. With five bedrooms, a private pool and oodles of space, this villa accommodates up to nine guests comfortably and oozes family charm.
 
Cosy, comfortable and homely are three words that come to mind when describing Villa Malhao. Rustic stone floors feature throughout, with lots of arches and traditional furnishings. The open plan living/dining area provides space for the whole group to spread out, with numerous lounge areas for guests to relax.

A functional and spacious kitchen provides plenty of prep space for cooking up delicious meals, and the lovely wooden dining table seats up to eight - perfect for casual dinner parties. This home features plenty of eclectic and quirky belongings collected over the years and provides a lovely home away from home for guests.
 
A statement spiral staircase sits in the centre of the living space and leads up to five generous bedrooms. The bedrooms consist of a master bedroom containing a double bed, as well as three twin beds and one single. There are also five well-equipped bathrooms, meaning no fighting over who gets to use the shower first! Each of the bedrooms offers a comfortable private haven, and each of them has access to a balcony with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
 
Outside, the fantastic curved pool has been built into the side of a rocky hill. With plenty of indulgent sun loungers, guests can top up their tan with a good book in hand while the kids splash about in the pool. An outdoor shower allows guests to cool off quickly, and a lush green lawn provides the perfect space for children to run around and play.

The terrace comes complete with shaded dining facilities and a built-in barbecue, fabulous for a spot of al fresco dining in the hot midday sun, or in the warm evening sunshine. There is also a roof terrace that can be accessed via external stairs, where guests can go for a moment of privacy. This rural villa offers guests a serene slice of heaven with fantastic facilities, and with the towns of Alvor and Portimão just a short drive away, there is something for everybody to enjoy at Villa Malhao.
