This area of the Algarve has plenty to offer visitors, from stunning beaches to quaint villages and delicious local food, there is something for everyone to enjoy. There are many popular attractions in the area, including the infamous Praia de Benagil cave and the popular Zoomarine waterpark!
Set within ample fenced grounds in a quiet residential area, Villa Botela has a traditional exterior and a bright, open-plan living and dining space. Large windows and sliding doors bring in plenty of natural light and provide easy access to the terrace. The living area is arranged in two zones: a smaller seating nook with armchairs around a table, and a main lounge space with two sofas and a flat-screen TV. Next to this, the dining area has seating for six. The kitchen has a more classic style, with blue cabinetry and tiled worktops, and is equipped with the usual appliances for preparing meals at home. There’s also a second dining table in the kitchen for six, ideal for breakfasts or a quick bite before heading out.
Two of Villa Botela’s three bedrooms are on the ground floor, simply furnished with white walls and crisp linens. Both are twin rooms; one has its own en-suite bathroom, while the other uses the family bathroom on this floor. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a double bed, built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom. It also opens onto a private terrace, a nice spot for a quiet coffee or evening drink.
There is ample outside space at Villa Botela. The spacious lawned garden is perfect for running around and playing games, while the private swimming pool is sure to be a hit with the whole group. A good-sized terrace wraps around the pool and is lined with sun loungers, so you can easily slip into the pool to cool off after lounging in the sun. A pergola partially covers the terrace to the side of the pool, with an outdoor dining area seating six guests and a brick-built barbecue underneath. This is a great place to enjoy some alfresco dining and fine tune your barbecue skills. There is also a pool table and table tennis available at the villa, so be sure to get a little holiday tournament on the go!
Sitting in a quiet residential area in the Carvoeiro region of the Algarve is Villa Botela. This charming villa enjoys added privacy thanks to its large lawned garden. The traditional town of Porches is located 3 km from the villa and offers visitors the chance to wander around its pretty streets and pop into some local shops to pick up some souvenirs.
Porches is home to some of the best pottery in the Algarve. The Porches Pottery Workshop offers visitors the chance to learn more about the history of the town and how the artisan hand-painted pottery is created. The chapel in the town is simply stunning; with its white rendered walls and splashes of colour in the details, it is a wonderful sight to behold. There are also a selection of restaurants in the town serving a range of cuisines, from Italian to traditional Portuguese to more global flavours, so there is something for everyone no matter your preference.
The region of Carvoeiro is steeped in traditional Portuguese charm, and the town itself has been transformed from a small fishing village into a picturesque holiday attraction. One of the true natural wonders of the Algarve, Praia de Benagil, is located along the coast and is known for its magnificent sea cave. This stunning cave is truly unique as it has a round hole in the roof that allows sunlight to stream in and visitors below can admire the blue skies beyond.
