Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MujeiraVilla Mujeira is a charming hilltop bungalow located in the popular area Quinta das Raposeiras in the Algarve. The views from the villa are breathtaking, masterfully displaying a panorama of the ocean and mountains, with the sparkling lights of Faro in the distance. A twenty-minute drive from the airport and within walking distance of the local restaurants and sports clubs, the location is perfect for exploring the best the Algarve has to offer.
The villa itself is located on a south-facing hill, where a series of charming villas sit hidden amongst the greenery. A short fifteen-minute walk down the hill is a tennis club with three courts and a padel court. You will also find the renowned restaurant Raízes, which is a must-visit during your stay.
Situated between the towns Loulé and São Brás de Alportel, there are supermarkets and conveniences all within a ten-minute drive of the villa and an endless array of fantastic restaurants to choose from. There is a fantastic covered market in Loulé that we would recommend, as well as a trip to the affluent Vilamoura Casino. The casino has become somewhat of an institution, well recognised as a luxurious landmark which has played host to some of the world’s most iconic footballers. The casino offers over 500 slot machines and 12 live game tables, meaning that guests can gamble the night away in several different ways. There are also cabaret shows and performances to create an entire evening of entertainment.
The magnificent Igreja de Sao Lourenco, ten minutes from the villa, speaks to the deeply significant religious history of the area. Translated as the Church of Sao Lourenco, this monument has been standing since 1730 and is one of the most visited landmarks in the region. The beautiful architecture and remarkable blue tiles, and ornate artefacts inside must be seen in person to be properly appreciated.
For beach lovers, there are stunning beaches just a twenty-minute drive from the front door. In fact, you can hop on one of the ferries from Olhão, Faro, Fuseta or Tavira to the sandy islands in the protected lagoon landscape of the Ria Formosa.
The central location within the Algarve means the luxuries of Vale do Lobo, and the amenities of Quinta do Lago are also only a twenty-minute drive away, providing endless beaches to visit, sights to see, and places to go during your stay.

THE REGION
Estoi is a fascinating little town hidden away a few kilometres from the Algarve coastline. It makes for a perfect home base while exploring the region, although there is not much going on in the village itself.
Estoi is simple and picturesque, with cobbled streets, whitewashed houses and terracotta roofs. You can begin your exploration of the region’s history right here with the Palácio de Estoi, an exquisite rose-coloured rococo palace which is open to the public and nowadays run as a hotel.
Close by there are also the ruins of a Roman villa dating all the way back to the 2nd century AD. But most of what you’ll be doing in the village of Estoi is relaxing and looking on as local life goes around you, as well as travelling to explore the Algarve on your own terms.
ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that.
But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe homely, warm atmosphere of Villa Mujeira makes it a brilliant choice for family holidays in the Algarve. Whilst the private swimming pool and spacious interiors will provide plenty of entertainment for kids, there are also heaps more to see and experience in the surrounding area.
Nearby, the town of Loulé offers a varied selection of exciting family-friendly attractions. With a rich history, there are hidden gems in every direction you look, perfect for exploring and learning as a family. A day out at Vila Romana de Milreu is a great option, where the Roman ruins have been impeccably preserved. The ruins were first excavated back in 1877 and host a variety of artefacts from the 1st and 2nd centuries. Guests can explore an ancient aquatic temple that is lined with a beautiful array of mosaics and is said to be dedicated to a worldly sea god.
Aquashow Park is one of the most sought-after attractions in Portugal and can be found around twenty minutes away from the villa. This incredible waterpark is home to an eclectic range of water attractions, such as the country’s largest wave pool, as well as a plethora of water slides, such as White Fall and Wild Snake. For small children and toddlers, this park offers a pair of playgrounds that have been expertly sized down so that the little ones can have a similar experience. Alongside these attractions, Aquashow Park also offers a variety of animal-themed shows, giving children the opportunity to see a selection of creatures in a more intimate way.

Well equipped villa with stunning views and lovely pool
We had a wonderful family holiday at Villa Mujeira. The villa is securely tucked away at the top of a housing development and has the most wonderful views. The villa was well equipped and included a coffee machine, dishwasher and washing machine. We especially enjoyed the large outside pool. Communication with the villa owner was excellent. The villa is well located to explore the Algarve by car.

I love it!
Gorgeous villa with a very spacious swimming pool and a lot of privacy. The home is located up in the mountains so the view is a absolutely amazing. The home owner is friendly and very helpful. He welcomed us on our first day and did everything in his power to make us feel at home. Thank you. We will definitely come back!

Photos don’t do the views justice
Just returned home from 10 nights at this amazing villa. The photos don’t do the views justice. The property is spacious, comfy and has everything you need. The pool area is one of the best we’ve ever experienced. You are located in a lovely secluded area and it’s very peaceful. Matias is really helpful and put us at ease. One of the mattresses was uncomfortable and he replaced it the next day with a brand new one. Loved every second and we will return.
