Description Peach Perfection: Albufeira

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Galé, this southern Portuguese villa boasts an impressive exterior as well as a walled garden complete with a private pool and a brick-built barbecue – perfect for sunbathing, swimming and dining alfresco. The interior aesthetics won’t be to everyone’s taste, though with a sit-in kitchen, a separate dining room and two sitting rooms – one traditionally tiled and featuring a fireplace – there’s plenty of room to spread out. In any case, with the golden sands of Praia da Galé only a 15-minute walk away, you’re sure to be spending most of your time out in the sunshine.
