Villa Laranjeira

Detached villa with private swimming pool located in the Sesmarias district of Albufeira, just a 10-minute walk from the beach. The idyllic beach "Praia da Coelha" is close by with a cozy little restaurant for a nice drink or lunch by the sea.

The attractive villa is quietly situated on a dead end. It is modernly furnished and fully equipped. The Portuguese fireplace in the living room provides an attractive ambiance. In the fenced garden, guests can enjoy the sun beds and the lawn by the swimming pool. From the various (covered) terraces there is a view of the swimming pool, the surroundings and the sea . The sun terrace on the first floor offers a lot of privacy and also a beautiful sea view.

The lively center of Albufeira with shops, restaurants and bars is 5 km away. In the vicinity of the villa (water) sports enthusiasts can enjoy the various options. The beautiful golf courses of the Algarve are within a 30-minute drive, such as the golf courses of Vilamoura, Oceânico Golf Faldo & Oceânico Golf O'Conner Jnr. The Herdade dos Salgados golf course is only 3 minutes away by car. Faro airport is 35 minutes away by car.

The villa is set on 1,000 m2 of private land with the terrace and the south-facing garden. The roofing of the terrace provides pleasant shade. From the modern lounge sofa you have a view of the swimming pool and the sea. The large private swimming pool is over 10 x 5 meters in size and is filtered by a salt-water installation.

A saltwater swimming pool stays fresh longer as algae, fungi and bacteria cannot survive in saltwater and you will enjoy swimming water in optimum condition for longer.

Light salt swimming water does not differ much from tear fluid and that means that red eyes and irritated skin due to chlorine are a thing of the past. People who suffer from eczema or a chlorine allergy can still enjoy this luxury at the villa through a saltwater swimming pool.

The villa has been our property since 2006 and hundreds of guests have been before you. Since 2019 this villa has been offered through Micazu. All years before this was rented through another large landlord and in 2015 , 2017 and 2018 Villa Laranjeira was voted Best Villa of the Spain / Portugal region (around 2,000 villas). Reviews for this period are available on request.

Tips for tenants:

Groups with children - In the villa there is a lot of children's toys and in the very large swimming pool there is fun inflatable material and swimming toys. In addition to the child-friendly Coelha beach , just a 10-minute walk away, there is plenty to do in the area to make your children's day even more fun. The dolphinarium-like Zoomarine (zoomarine.pt) is less than a 10-minute drive away.
Furthermore, there are two fantastic Water Parks within a 15-minute drive: Slide & Splash (slidesplash.com) and Aqualand (aqualand.pt).

A day at the Kartcentrum in Almancil is a must for older children, where you can go karting, but you can also cross a half-day with a ZandBuggy (kartingalgarve.com). Furthermore, there is a go-kart track in the underground parking garage at the Albufeira marina (less than a 5-minute drive away) (algarvekarting.com)

Groups with golf enthusiasts - Portugal is a true paradise for golfers. There are dozens of beautiful courses within a 30-minute radius. As the owner, I had the pleasure to be able to run practically all jobs one or more times. The following courses are particularly suitable for the low handicapper: Faldo Course, Vale do Lobo, Victoria, Pinhal, Salgados (only 3 minutes' drive from the villa), Boavista and Old Course. The Vilamoura courses Millennium, Vila Sol & Laguna or Pine Cliffs, Silves, Pinta and Gramacho are very suitable for the higher handicapper.

For very reasonably priced green fees, you can use TeeTimes (algarvepackage.com or teetimes.pt). You can reserve a teetime by telephone and pay with your credit card. The voucher is sent directly to the course. You can turn immediately upon arrival!

Groups with culture admirers - Portugal is one of the oldest trading countries with a variety of sights and beautiful places. A multitude of travel guides tell everything about this. Various travel guides are also available in the library of the villa. Highly recommended are: Tavira, Silves, Albufeira, Sagres and especially beautiful Cabo de São Vicente (Cape Saint Vincent).

Groups with book lovers - the villa has a large library with more than 150 titles. Mainly Dutch but also some English and German books. A list of all titles can be e-mailed on request. This often saves many kilos in your luggage!
