Location
The villa is located in the charming village of Figueira, in a quiet courtyard with other villas and has a communal swimming pool. Figueira is located between Lagos (12 km) and Sagres (15 km), and is the perfect base to visit the beautiful beaches in the area.
Figueira beach is a 20-minute walk away and the pleasant seaside resort of Salema is 2.5 km away.
The house
The villa consists of two floors, with 3 bedrooms on the ground floor. From each bedroom you can walk straight into the garden. There are good sun blinds, so you can sleep cool and dark and there are fans available. One of the bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom with bath and toilet. There is also a separate bathroom with shower and toilet. The other two bedrooms each have two 1-person box springs.
On the upper floor you will find the spacious open living room with sitting area and television, and a dining area with 6 chairs. Furthermore, there is a full kitchen with all amenities and appliances, including oven, microwave and dishwasher. Kitchen textiles available. Upstairs there is a separate toilet.
Attached to the living room are two balconies on the Southwest, from where you have a beautiful view over the village and the valley. For the chilly days in the winter, there is a wood stove in the living room, and a movable electric heater.
There is WiFi, and there is a chromecast available, so you can also watch Netflix with your own subscription!
Check-in: from 16:00
Check-out: before 10:00
The garden
On the spacious terrace on the Southwest you can relax or eat together. You can choose whether you want to sit on the stone bench in the corner, in the dining area, or on a daybed. There is also a fixed BBQ!
Park
The house has its own parking space in front of the house. More parking can be found a few dozen meters away, outside the courtyard.
Swimming pool
In the middle of the courtyard is a communal swimming pool, with a separate children's pool. The pool is heated from spring to autumn. The beautiful garden around the pool is well maintained and provides a tropical holiday feeling.
Weather
The temperature in Western Algarve is pleasant all year round. In summer it rarely gets warmer than 30 degrees, and in winter the temperatures remain mild. That is why it is one of the favorite places to spend the winter in Europe.
Target audience
We are happy to welcome families with children or adults with respect for people and nature. The accommodation is located in a quiet park and we like to take our neighbors into account. This is a wonderful place to enjoy, but for noisy parties you are not in the right place here.

Figueira & tips in the area
In the authentic village with nice little streets, there are a number of restaurants & cafes, and there is a very small shop for daily shopping. A large supermarket (Intermarché) is a 5-minute drive away. In Salema, the nearest seaside resort (2km) you can also have a nice dinner or drink on the beach. The travel time by car to Faro airport is about an hour.
The house is a 10-20 minute drive from many beautiful beaches on both the South and West coast, where there are good surf spots and where you can walk and hike on the rocks.
Our favorite beaches are:
- Praia da FIgueira
- Praia das Furnas
- Praia do Zavial
- Praia da Ingrina
- Praia do Castelejo
- Praia do Beliche
- Praia do Tonel
A hidden gem in our opinion is the village of Pedralva, where you can enjoy delicious food at restaurant Sitio da Pedralva. The bread with a filling of dried and salted cod and vegetable sauce is highly recommended! Lagos is also worth a visit, with its harbour, quaint markets, shops, cafes and restaurants, and beautiful beaches such as Praia Dona Ana and Meia Praia. In Sagres you will find the most southwestern point of Europe, with Cabo de São Vicente and the Fortaleza fortress. There you can go hiking, water sports and visit the fort. The area is very suitable for surfing, because you are close to both the south and west coasts.
