click to view

The enchanting Casa Dos Cipestres has a style of its own and sits in beautiful lawns on a residential road just outside Guia. Surrounded by lush trees, it makes a great retreat for large families wanting tranquillity combined with convenience.

Offering comfortable single storey accommodation, the villa will particularly appeal to families with young children and less mobile guests. Inside, everything is kept in immaculate order with bright and spotless rooms and tasteful modern furnishings. The most impressive space is the living-dining room where a feature glass brick eave lets in extra natural light. From here, doors connect to a covered patio trailed with climbers and overlooking the lawns and pool. The kitchen is fully equipped, whilst the outside barbecue makes al-fresco cooking and dining a pleasure. However, when you want to eat out, a ten-minute stroll into Guia will reveal an excellent selection of eating spots.

The Casa Dos Cipestres is conveniently located for family days out, with beaches under ten minutes’ drive away and Galé and Albufeira easily accessible. In the same estate as the Villa Catuna, the two properties could be a good base for two families who want to be close yet also independent.

NB. A refundable breakages deposit of €200 is payable in cash on arrival.
