Guests at the Villa Correia will enjoy the best of both worlds - a calm and quiet holiday setting with the added bonus of buzzing Vilamoura, with its glamorous marina, shops and restaurants, just a short drive away.

A detached and large two-storey villa designed in typical Portuguese architectural style, the Correia combines unfussy simplicity and old-world charm thanks to its understated décor and a number of welcoming features. A traditional stone fireplace provides a focal point in the comfortable sitting-dining room and the bedrooms are arranged with handsome dark wood beds and wardrobes that inject elegance and character. Doors from the dining area connect to a covered terrace, which leads out to the pretty garden and pool area. Around the water, well-tended lawns and paved terraces offer ample space for sun-worshippers to take their places, and there is a barbecue supplied for when you want to practice classic Portuguese recipes in the sunshine. The low hedges screening the grounds add a final touch of privacy.

A quick car trip brings you to Vilamoura beach with its golden sands and if you fancy a night out, the bars and clubs of the resort centre are easy to get to. An excellently located villa perfect for large groups keen to enjoy everything Vilamoura offers.
