A luxury villa to rent in Olhao, eastern Algarve, Portugal

An extraordinary house in an unusual off-the-beaten-track corner of the Algarve, perfect for a yoga retreat or for a group of friends celebrating a birthday.

This very unusual house is set in a working fishing village on the Algarve’s little-known eastern end. It’s been beautifully restored to sleep up to 24 people, although it’s not great for very small children as there are lots of stairs and some rooftop living spaces.

The house is perfect for those fond of unusual destinations and who like to explore.  Ferries and private boats run from the quay close to the house to the islands in the estuary where the beaches are pristine. The water is clear here and there are low-key beach bars and restaurants where you can while away your day.

The town and its surrounding area is well know for its food and there are plenty of local restaurants and food markets to choose from. For larger parties or special events, cooks or caterers can be organised.

The house is set over several floors and is indeed a town house. The rooftop pool is ideal for a quick refreshing dip in the morning or evening and looks out over the rooftops to the sea.

There are multiple terraces and communal areas, providing both privacy for those who want to hideaway and read, as well as space for groups to sit around and chat.

All 12 bedrooms are stylishly done and are spacious with lovely linens. Every detail has been thought of from wicker baskets to beach parasols and beach towels.

There is a good kitchen along with a second ‘professional‘ kitchen for events and large groups. Twenty-four people can sit down together for meals without a problem.

A luxury villa to rent in Praia da Gale, Algarve, Portugal

A charming beachfront villa in a great location with a heated pool, a hard tennis court and a live-in cook.

This beautifully restored and presented villa is just 4km from Albufeira, on the sea beside the famous five-mile beach of Praia da Gale.

The house is large and comfortable with paths running down to the sea through the extensive and well-kept grounds.

There are six bedrooms, each with an en-suite marble bathroom and five with sea views. Four bedrooms are on the ground floor (three with super-king beds and one with twin beds), with two further twin bedrooms upstairs.

There is a large living room with French windows leading out to the terrace and gardens and with lovely views down to the sea. The formal dining room seats up to 14 people and is decorated with wonderful paintings of Italian landscapes. There is a fully equipped kitchen and, in the basement, a games room with a full-sized billiards/snooker table.

Outside are two seating and dining areas: one on the seafront terrace and the other under cover by the large, heated pool. Both have a dining table and chairs for 12, as well as a seating area with comfortable wicker armchairs and a coffee table.

Aside from the pool, you’ll find a hard court for tennis, a boules pitch, a large built-in barbecue and a ping pong table under cover by the pool.

There are two Portuguese- and English-speaking staff who live in a cottage in the grounds. The cook will prepare a daily breakfast of freshly cut fruit and pastries, as well as a delicious three-course lunch or dinner. Her partner, the gardener/pool man, will do the food shopping and barbecuing. They’re both extremely helpful.

The main beach is just to the left and has sunbeds and shades to rent, as well as a great beach bar/restaurant.
