Overview
Villa Florestina is a modern three bedroom property located in a quiet and tranquil area of the Algarve. The villa is situated just a short distance from the beach and nestled in between vast stretches of greenery and low trees that enable optimal opportunity to capture the sun.
In the lovely garden, you will be able to enter your private pool with easy access Roman steps, and plenty of sun lounges and umbrellas dotted around that provide much-needed shade from the blazing Portuguese sunshine.
Guests will be delighted to use the outside living room complete with comfortable sofas, a coffee table and an outdoor barbecue. Here, you can utilise the outer space just as much as the inside by enjoying drinks and meals while overlooking the villa’s luscious green lawn and full gorgeous countryside.
The property benefits from tastefully designed, stylish and contemporary interiors throughout and minimal colours. Stepping inside, you will discover the open plan dining and living room with a wood laminate floor, a stunning glass fireplace and an elegant dining table for eight.
The extended room benefits from multiple floor-length glass doors that lead outside and has plenty of social space. The sleek and modern kitchen is well-equipped with atmospheric lighting. It is stunningly presented with bar stools and glass doors that allow you to access the vast garden and pool.
Villa Florestina's bright and minimal bedrooms have double beds and beaming natural light. The bathrooms have bowl-shaped sinks, and one of the en-suite bathrooms has a Jacuzzi bath to truly unwind. Two additional single beds can be provided to bring the maximum capacity of the villa up to eight guests.
Guests will find an office room on the lower floor with a sofa and two desks. This is a fantastic area to read away the days and evenings. Though the weather is not likely to be disappointing, Villa Florestina houses a small games room on the basement floor complete with table tennis, table football and seating.

THE REGION
Albufeira is one of the Algarve's top hotspots. It's a charismatic beach town with an energetic and busy vibe where every type of holidaymaker can find something to enjoy. Not only is it family friendly and bursting with great activities for kids and teens, there is also a buzzing nightlife scene on the downtown strip for adults travelling on their own.
If you’re after something a bit more cultural, there is also a beautiful Old Town where all the best restaurants and historical sites can be found. For those looking to get a little bit extra out of their Albufeira stay, Vidamar Resort in the Salgados area offers all the perks of staying in a self-catered villa plus the amenities of a luxury resort.
Not far from there you’ll also come across the beachy Sao Rafael as well as Galé where the sandy stretches and deep blue waves will have you thinking you’re on the set of a photoshoot. Golf lovers might want to head to Amendoeira Golf Resort, located a quick fifteen minutes from Albufeira, which is perfect those who like a good game while still staying close to town.

Very clean and well equipped!
Very clean and well equipped. Great welcome pack and very good welcome from the property managers.
-
The villa was as described and very nice!
The villa was excellent, everything was as described , would go back again. Service was very good, no issues at all.
-
Amazing Villa!
The villa is beautiful – the images do not do it justice! All bedrooms have a separate bathroom, and the cellar with the ping pong table and table football was great for our final day in which it unfortunately rained! Could not recommend this villa enough – only 40 minute drive from the airport and easily accessible from surrounding towns.

Modern and exactly what you see on the website
We really enjoyed our stay. The villa was really modern and comfortable. It was exactly what we wanted and expected having seen the property online.
-
Nice Villa!
The villa keeps its promise. Pool and surroundings very nice and clean. Cleaning service and on-site support very obliging. Car absolutely necessary. Our four-week stay was a complete success. I would rent the villa again.

Would recommend, 10/10 would stay again
Villa Florestina is in a great location! 40mins from the airport, to the beach 10mins away to cliff Richards Vineyard 10mins in another direction. Villa itself was spotless, but showroom clean so be prepared to buy all condiments as none are left behind which you kind of expect from a busy rental villa, so stock up on first shop and on toilet roll as you only get one per WC. Only real criticism (very small at that) was the pool could have been cleaned whilst we were there, pool guy appeared as we were leaving. But absolutely tiny critiscm would stay here again!

A high standard
Our family of 6 had a lovely time at this beautiful villa. Our high expectations were exceeded, the photos more than do it justice. I would say that it is the equivalent of 4/5 star UK rated accomodation. It is kept to a high standard, very clean and with all of he essentials you need. The villa manager Gentle went out of her way to make sure she met us on the first night despite us arriving late evening and was only too pleased to recommend places to visit etc. We found the best restaurants were in the village itself. Some other good ones are to be found in Albufeira old town which is about a 15 min drive. You will need a car as the villa is remote but this suited us fine. There are too many high quality beaches to pick one, but the nearest beaches were a 5-10 min drive away and were world class. We visited Monchique in he mountains which is a good day out and spent an afternoon at Aqualand. Whilst this is not as good as Splash and Slide it is perfect for a few hours of fun, with queues no longer than 15 mins, very clean and with 50% off the price if you buy a ticket in advance, it is great value. Love Portugal!

Well presented spacious villa with excellent pool
Good size villa with excellent outdoor space - garden, barbecue and lovely pool. Location a little from the beach and about 15 mins walk up to the small town with 2 good restaurants but good access to everywhere as close to A22. Would be helpful if proper details / brochures were provided so one knew more about local area offerings - a feedback book would also be good as I am sure reviews would be very positive but also helpful to new guests. -

A great house
The experience was great! the house is as good as on pictures and we loved our stay. Perfect pool and barbecue area, large bedrooms and one restroom per bedroom. 30min walk down to the beach and armacao de pera with several OK restaurants. Easy and cheap to take a taxi back and forth when needed.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
