Overview
You could almost be mistaken for thinking that Villa Ardwick was modelled around a lavish mansion from Sunset Boulevard. Its plush grounds encapsulate the original rococo style, whilst offering a modern touch to a Beverly Hills lookalike gated villa. Located in the epicentre of Quinta do Lago and less than a ten-minute walk from Ancao Beach, you are not only ideally situated in the luxury resort, but you have a villa that boasts an opulent status.
The front drive of the villa can host several cars and an alcove, with trellis parking, offers protection from the sun so you won’t have to get into a stifling car. When first entering the five-bedroom villa, you will immediately notice a contemporary layout that has a careful balance of luxuriousness and elegance. The living spaces main feature is perhaps the built-in wood burning fireplace, which is not only a spectacle, but will keep you and your guest’s warmer during those winter months. A large flat screen television occupies the other portion of the living area and has an integrated sound system which can be operated from each bedroom, in order to select a preference in radio stations. The large glass panelled windows, on the rear of the villa, allow all rooms to be saturated with natural sunlight.
Take a trip up the winding stairs to find a double en-suite bedroom and two en-suite bedrooms with two single beds in each. One of the en-suite bathrooms has a bath tub and another has a shower with a built-in seat, if needed.
A descent downstairs will take you to a corridor, down which you will find two en-suite bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with two singles. Passed the bedrooms is a dining area, which seats eight and a kitchen entirely fitted out with all the essential appliances for those wishing to cook up a storm. There is immediate passage from here to the barbecue and swimming pool. It is perhaps here that you will view the star of the show, the villa’s lush and amply sized grounds.
Entering the vibrant and well-maintained garden, you are greeted by a waterfall feature. This provides the gentle sound of flowing water that creates a peaceful atmosphere throughout the day and night. The large overflow swimming pool, is encircled with decking and seating. One of the corners of the pool accommodates a Jacuzzi, which is of real benefit during those late-night get-togethers that encroach onto the early hours of the morning. There is a dining space and seating area, protected by pergolas, which both overlook this stunning garden.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ArdwickNestled in the outskirts of Quinta Do Lago near to one of the more impressive resorts along the Algarve. The estate is noted for its golf courses, tennis facilities and the well renowned Quinta shopping scene. This family suitable destination is conveniently positioned by a number of lakes and is a short drive from the beach, where seasonal water sports are offered. Whilst on the sea-front, there is a selection of dining experiences to be enjoyed. With Albufeira, Olhao and Vilamoura being easily reachable by car, there is an abundance of activities for a group of holidaymakers.
The numerous fresh water lakes and lagoons draw a considerable amount of migrant and inhabitant birds.

THE REGION
Quinta do Lago has a well-earned five-star reputation thanks to the luxurious facilities, activities, sports and dining the resort keeps tucked away in the lush Ria Formosa nature reserve. In these surroundings, families can enjoy everything from biking to kayaking and fishing in the superb and sunny Algarve.
Quinta do Lago’s three golf courses are each award-winning and the on-site training facilities absolutely cutting edge. There is also plenty of seaside to be soaked up at Quinta do Lago, complete with sandy beaches and incredible self-catered luxury villas.
Once you’ve enjoyed all the sunshine the days have to offer, nearby Quinta shopping mall will see to all your retail therapy needs, as well as provide a blissful dining experience.
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 AgesQuinta do Lago, in the Algarve, is almost a child’s paradise! Whether you are looking for some family fun, or somewhere to drop the kids off for the day, this region has it all.
During those really hot summer months, a visit to Aquashow, Quarteira, should certainly be considered. This waterpark has it all! Enjoy rollercoaster rides, slides & flumes or taking a plunge in one of the many swimming pools on this water themed spectacle.
If you are searching for something a little more mentally provocative, there are some excellent exhibitions at the Centre for Living Science and City Farm. The latter educates the little ones about environment perseveration and even shows off some of the local flora & fauna that they won’t have seen before.
Little C Palace and Kangaroo Club offer day services, where you can leave your children in the hands of professional day carers. Here they specialise in running daily activity sessions and cater for your children, allowing you and your partner the chance to have a quieter day doing something a little different.

Beautiful house in beautiful location
We stayed in Villa Ardwich between December ‘19 and the end of March 2020. The house itself is lovely with a fabulous pool and outside space. It’s well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen and an abundance of towels/bedding etc. The air con is great but during these winter months we used the log burning fire which was beautiful. The staff at seashell were excellent, they came back to us promptly with any concerns we had and attended to the very minor issues we encountered during our stay extremely quickly. The staff were friendly and the maintenance, garden and cleaning teams were brilliant. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this highly professional company and would recommend a stay at Villa Ardwich for families with kids or just on your own, it was really sensational.

Villa Ardwich
We stayed at Villa Ardwich for a family holiday. The villa itself was perfect for 5 adults and 5 children. The 5 double bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and clean. The living areas were ideal for spending time together. The outdoor areas were beautiful. Check in and out was seamless. The local area is fantastic for children and adults with beautiful restaurants and beaches. All in all a lovely break, didn’t want to come home.
