A spacious villa with an elegant look, Moradia Benfarras is surrounded by greenery and just five minutes’ drive from the marina in Vilamoura. A large lawn garden and swimming pool can be found at this cosy Algarve property, situated within easy reach of Vilamoura’s many golf courses and attractions
The house can sleep up to eight guests in its four bedrooms, all of which have their own en-suite facilities, including two with a bath. Two of the bedrooms on the first floor also have direct access to a balcony overlooking the pool and gardens, and all benefit from air-conditioning.
The other rooms of the house are well-equipped too, including the beautiful lounge and dining room, which has a large LCD television with satellite channels and DVD. Patio doors lead you straight out to the garden. The kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room on the lower ground floor with washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a garage and table tennis table on this level.
The outside space is another highlight, with areas to sit and dine either undercover or in the sun. There are sun loungers, a barbecue and, of course, the pool which is just perfect for a dip first thing in the morning or late at night.
It only takes a few minutes to reach the centre of Vilamoura, the glamorous marina area with its cool bars, restaurants and stores. You could spend all day shopping for designer items or enjoying drinks at the likes of Bar Sete on the waterfront. Serious golfers will know Vilamoura is the place to go for numerous championship courses, but it’s equally good for doing nothing more than enjoying a massage or relaxing to the sound of something suitably chilled.
Moradia Benfarras is only 23km from Faro Airport, so getting there is no problem. Once you arrive, most of the things you need are within a short stroll, with a coffee shop, health club and supermarket less than a kilometre from the house.
Vilamoura has developed into one of the Algarve’s most prestigious and popular resorts, purpose-built for visitors and full of things to attract them. Around 30 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport, it’s easy to access and sits roughly halfway along Portugal’s southern coast.
Its huge marina is the centre of the action, lined not only with yachts but bars, restaurants and designer shops. Vilamoura certainly attracts the wealthy and the famous, but retains a relaxed atmosphere and feels surprisingly peaceful given its popularity. It’s easy to go exploring by bike or on foot, or take a boat trip – although some will simply be drawn to the resort’s fine beaches or the many nearby golf courses.

We had a great break with family. Villa was Fantastic. Was very peaceful and quiet. Spar supermarket close by and browns sports bar was too, which was good for breakfast or lunch or just a drink. Marina was amazing as always lots of lovely restaurants and bars plenty to choose from. The men enjoyed a few games of golf. Villamoura is a perfect holiday vacation and the villa was great. Would definitely use this company again. Communication was excellent and there were no issues.
