Imagine a gorgeous Portuguese villa, your own, private swimming pool and palm trees swaying in the breeze. All the elements you need for the most perfect holiday in the Algarve. Four-bedroom Villa Marquesa is superbly located less than a ten-minute stroll from the sandy beaches, shops and restaurants in Gale and Lourenco. A sparkling, turquoise pool runs almost the breadth of the villa, bordered by sun loungers and golden bean bags. Extending out from the property is a shady pergola, host to an al-fresco dining table and chairs. An adjacent open Portuguese BBQ allows you to grill up some tasty kebabs or fresh fish in the garden. Inside, a split-level living and dining area features a large sink-into sofa and dining area. There are accents of violet in the sheer curtains, scatter cushions and velvet, tub chair. The bedrooms are individually designed with plush furnishings. Sumptuous throws, rugs and dramatic headboards feature in these rooms. Two double bedrooms are ensuite and the two twin bedrooms also have a bathroom each, so plenty of room for up to eight guests.

A sweeping three miles stretch of perfectly manicured golden sand dominates this part of the Portuguese coastline, and is backed by dramatic limestone cliffs making it one of the Algarve's most picturesque resorts. Gale beach (or Praia de Gale) is suitable for all ages, with calming waters ideal for paddling on some days, and on others there are stronger waves making water sports a great option. Our villas in Gale are within easy reach of the beach, whilst the vibrant town of Albufeira is just a short drive away.
