Villa Ria Formosa

About this property

Villa Ria Formosa offers a delightful modern holiday home with a pretty garden and gorgeous swimming pool, ideally located close to some of the Algarve’s most charming towns and unspoilt coastline.

Designed for up to six guests (plus two additional children on request), the bright interiors are contemporary and spacious. The chic living room is a cosy place to unwind after a day exploring whilst the sleek well-equipped kitchen makes mealtimes easy and sociable. Outside, swim in the private swimming pool, admire the colourful garden and enjoy al-fresco meals long into the evening as the warmth lingers well past sunset. Meanwhile, the rooftop terrace invites sundowners in a picturesque setting.

Villa Ria Formosa’s location between the charming fishing village of Fuseta and the historic town of Olhão places you in one of the Algarve’s most characterful corners. Discover local markets, taste just-caught seafood by the harbour or hop on a ferry to Armona Island’s unspoilt beaches. The Ria Formosa Natural Park is moments away, a dreamscape of tidal lagoons, salt flats and migrating birds.

Spend the day soaking up the charm of Faro or you could even experience the glamour and golf of the Algarve’s Golden Triangle, only 45 minutes away. Whether you’re seeking nature, culture or stunning coastline, Villa Ria Formosa promises a stay that is well-connected and unmistakably authentic.

Located between the characterful coastal towns of Olhão and Fuseta, Villa Ria Formosa enjoys an enviable location close to one of Algarve’s most authentic and unspoilt corners. The villa is set within gated grounds in a residential neighbourhood, offering easy access to the region’s beautiful beaches, rich cultural and natural attractions.

With its traditional charm, harbourside restaurants and colourful boats, Fuseta is ideal for a relaxed afternoon by the sea. Alternatively, explore the historic town of Olhão, famous for its seafood, vibrant markets and decorative Portuguese tiles. For a deeper dive into Algarve history and culture, Faro awaits within half an hour by car with its cobbled old town, elegant squares and lively marina.

You are also well placed to admire the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, a protected coastal lagoon renowned for its shimmering waterways, abundant birdlife and scenic walking trails. It's a haven for nature lovers and the perfect setting for kayaking, boat trips or birdwatching. From nearby Olhão, hop on a ferry to Ilha da Armona, where soft white sands and crystal-clear waters create an idyllic beach escape far removed from the mainland bustle.

For those seeking a more glamorous day out, the chic resorts of the Golden Triangle, Quinta do Lago, Vilamoura and Vale do Lobo, are just 45 minutes away, offering fine dining, designer shopping and world-class golf.
