Villa Kenasa

Villa Kenasa is set in the countryside 9km from the coastline of Praia de Armacao de Pera beach. It is wonderful that you can enjoy peace and seclusion yet very quickly get to attractive and busy towns and coastal resorts.
 
Armacao de Pera was once a small fishing village but is now a busy, popular resort on the Algarve. In the old part of the city, the charm of the traditional squat fishermen’s houses has been preserved with the lovely beach right in front. The eastern area of the sand is known as Fisherman’s Beach and is still used for the sale of fish and repair of nets.
 
Carvoeiro, just along the coast, is a picturesque traditional town. The beach is beautiful, and it is on the scenic Sete Vales Suspensos hiking route. Otherwise known as the Seven Hanging Valleys hiking route, it is one of the most scenic on the Algarve. The round trip is 11.5km following the stunning coastline between Vale de Carvoeiro to Praia da Marinha in the east. The dramatic coastline is formed of massive, savagely eroded limestone cliffs. The deep-sea caves, perilous sinkholes and majestic sea arches will give you some amazing photographs so make sure you take your camera. Secluded beaches are sheltered from the power of the ocean in the hanging valleys.
 
Lagoa is charming with many whitewashed houses. The cultural centre of Lagoa was originally built in 1710 as the Convent of Saint Joseph and was created after a major renovation. It houses exhibitions of paintings, photography and sculpture. The stunning modern art exhibited at the Lady in Red art gallery is worthy of a stop. It is located in an unused industrial space of a big wine producer. The Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Luz which means Church of Our Lady of Light is beautiful and worth a visit.
