Villa Laranja Region: Carvoeiro Sleeps: 10
Overview
Just 500m away from one of Portugal’s (if not the world’s) most beautiful beaches, Praia da Marinha, Villa Laranja is both well equipped and enviably located. This magnificent 4-bedroom villa sits in its peaceful gardens filled with almond and fig trees and offers the use of a private 7m x 4m swimming pool.
Situated on a hilltop 8km from the centre of Carvoeiro, Villa Laranja is ideal for exploring the area’s beaches and caves. It offers beautiful sea views and plenty of outdoor space, with a covered dining area and barbecue, large lawns and a spacious pool terrace with sun loungers.
You can access the split-level, open-plan living area directly from the terrace, which itself offers lots of seating. Inside, you have a TV and DVD, a wood- burning stove, a dining table and chairs and a kitchen. This is equipped with a fridge freezer, dishwasher, and smaller appliances like a coffee machine, kettle and toaster.
The villa includes four bedrooms which offer flexibility to configure them as needed. Two of the bedrooms have twin beds, and the other two have three single beds. There’s also an additional room with a small sofa-bed and three bathrooms. All of the bedrooms are made even more comfortable with air- conditioning, the use of which is included.
Nearby Carvoeiro is a popular resort with excellent amenities. It’s great for dining, with recommended restaurants, and also for nightlife – there are numerous bars and clubs, both lively and laid-back, to discover.
Its beaches are perhaps the main reason to visit, including centrally-located Praia do Carvalho, Praia de Benagil and the beautiful Praia da Marinha. Water- sports lovers will particularly enjoy the beautiful surroundings, but if you want to enjoy the views, you can do so in style from the clifftop Carvoeiro Boardwalk.

Page 3 Location & Local Information
With some of the most stunning beaches on the Algarve in the vicinity, Carvoeiro is a town well worth discovering. It has developed a compelling offer to visitors, with a good range of restaurants, bars and amenities amongst the traditional whitewashed buildings of its centre, and beautiful sightseeing opportunities in all directions.
Rugged cliff and secluded coves give the beaches of Carvoeiro plenty of character, with unusual rock formations that have become attractions themselves. You can take a boat trip to see the caves of Praia de Benagil, where a circular ‘eye’ opening gives sight of a small beach hidden inside.
Praia da Marinha, a short distance east, is considered to be one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, with incredibly transparent waters, and Praia da Carvoeiro, closest to the town itself, is a charming spot too.
Along the clifftop, you can admire Carvoeiro’s enviable surroundings from the boardwalk – many of the caves along the coast are visible from this vantage point. Another notable sight is the beautiful Alfanzina Lighthouse, and you may also come across the A Boneca restaurant.
While there are many places to eat in Carvoeiro, not all can boast the incredible location of this one, amongst the rocks and caves, giving it an unrivalled ocean view.
South of mountainous Monchique, at around 50 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport, Carvoeiro enjoys a great location west of that city. Well clear of the hedonism of the Albufeira strip, the resort has beautiful Portimão 10km away, with its stunning marina and excellent shopping facilities, and golf courses and theme parks close by.
You may also be tempted to take to the water in Carvoeiro, with windsurfing, kayaking and sailing all possibilities. Lively bars and nightlife are plentiful, but if you would rather chill out, the cool vibes of Manoel’s Jazz Club could well entice you.
