click to view

With its traditional pan-tiled roofs and whitewashed exterior the Villa Ana makes a cheerful sight. Located in a quiet residential district of Vilamoura, which adjoins the exclusive Old Village development, this three-bedroom property is terrific for families or groups wanting to be within striking distance of Vilamoura’s marina, golf courses and lively restaurants and nightlife.

Occupying a fairly compact corner plot with easy parking available nearby, the Ana offers deceptively spacious accommodation. The well-proportioned rooms include a kitchen with a washing machine, and a pleasing sitting room with French doors leading to a curving sun terrace and swimming pool. The pool terrace provides ample space for sun loungers and leafy shrubs decorate the carefully maintained garden, which is enclosed by neat hedging. Back inside the villa, the three bedrooms, convertible sitting room beds and two bathrooms make the property a comfortable option for up to eight guests.

The nearby Old Village is a delightful complex of townhouses, squares and cobbled streets offering shops, bars and cafés. In addition, the Ana is a short drive from three of Vilamoura’s 18-hole golf courses, and within driving distance to the buzzing marina and sandy beaches around three kilometres away.

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