Luxurious and contemporary villa with heated pool, WiFi & Home Cinema 6879/AL

For your reassurance Villa Alfarroba has an "Alojamento Local" (letting licence) and is registered with the Portuguese authorities to ensure specific safety standards and regulations are met. When considering other rental properties, please make sure that they are legal to be rented out. It is a legal requirement that the number (####/AL) be displayed in the property description.
Luxurious private villa- 4 en-suite bedrooms, spacious living area inside and out.
Saturday to Saturday bookings
Our villa offers the perfect setting for exploring the Eastern Algarve. Within a 15 minute drive of Villa Alfarroba there are 7 golf courses to choose from including the prestigious course of Monte Rei designed by Jack Nicklaus. The towns of Tavira and Cabanas are within easy reach and are great for an evening stroll and a sun-downer outside one of the many street cafés. Faro is about 40 minutes from Villa Alfarroba and is an easy journey with the majority via motorway where often you can drive from one exit to the next and not see any other cars! Whether you want to enjoy the culture, the many sporting activities or visit the local towns, go to theme parks, take a trip up the Guadiana, pop across to Spain, do some bird watching or just laze by the pool - there is something for everyone!


More villa details: The ground floor living area is open plan, tiled throughout with cream porcelain which give the house a lovely light and airy feel.
The kitchen is a bright citrus lime with a black granite worktop/breakfast bar. As well as top quality major appliances, the kitchen is fully equipped with all you could need from toasted sandwich maker to lettuce spinner and all in between!– we have a large commercial fridge as we understand the importance of keeping everything cold in the hot Summer days. We also have two dishwashers so that you will never end up with work top full of dirty dishes waiting for one dishwasher to be emptied before it can be refilled. There is a 90 cm induction hob which is a delight to cook with. There are two ovens and two warming drawers. There is a large extendable dining table. There are three comfy sofas situated around a panoramic window with lovely views to the sea.

We have also indulged in a 65" television!

We have two lovely cots (not travel cots) so if you have little ones up to cot age, we can provide these free of charge.

Outside space: There is a gorgeous solar heated swimming pool with plenty of terrace and eight luxury sun beds and an external toilet and shower. There is a covered dining area with an additional sink and a large purpose built BBQ. Additionally there are several small tables and chairs surrounding the villa to sit and have a drink and enjoy the views. The garden is well planted with plenty of fruit trees and herbs that you can help yourselves to - a handful of rosemary on the burning coals of your barbecue makes all the difference.
We have a draft beer and wine machine with a flash chiller so you can have an ice cold drink whenever you want to. This is only available if pre booked, so we can buy in barrels - approx cost is £100 for 30L and £90 for 20L white wine.

Beaches, Restaurants and Shopping: If you can drag yourself away for our lovely villa and the beer fridge, there are so many beautiful beaches around the area. They are immaculately clean and very spacious. They do get busy in July and August but if you are prepared to take a few extra steps from the end of the walkway onto the beach, you will find plenty of space.
For a change, you can drive into Tavira and get the little ferry over to the Isla de Tavira where there is a stunning beach and lots of restaurants and bars.
There are so many nice restaurants and of course we have our favourites - in the Villa we will provide comprehensive details of our recommendations.
On the third Sunday of every month there is a market in the local village of Vila Nova de Cacela where you can pick up locally made crafts, boxes of fresh strawberries and just about anything else you can think of.
There is a shopping mall at Tavira but local shops sell fresh meat, fresh veg and home baked bread.

There is a municipal market in Tavira which is well worth a visit - freshly caught fish and lots of lovely fruit and vegetables at very good prices - ideal if you fancy a BBQ. Best to go before noon to get the best selection.

I am sorry but we have a No Pet policy due to allergies.

Eastern Algarve Dream Vacation
As grandparents, we shared this delightful place with our son’s family- his wife and our two grandkids ages 7 and 10. It offers some beautiful spaces for eating and cooking, both indoors and out, as well as four separate bedrooms with en suite baths with great showers. Jo warmed the water i. the pool so it was comfortable the entire week. The kids also loved the projection and game room. The location is perfect for accessing many beautiful beaches and restaurants. Jo is amazing in her responsiveness and a great manager. We would love to come back to this beautifully landscaped place and watch more sunsets from the upper patio.

Amazing Alfarroba
Been to many a villa in The Algarve and none compare with Alfarroba. Simply lovely, exremely well thought out property. Spacious, fully equipped with a fabulous pool and outdoor dining area in a great area of the eastern Algarve ideal for exploring or just relaxing in the quiet, peaceful surroundings. Jo is the perfect host. Unintrusive, yet available at the drop of a hat with nothing a problem. She was even able to provide a wheelchair at a moments notice for an elderly member of our group. Can't recommend this luxurious villa highly enough.

Luxurious Villa in Excellent Location
Villaroba is a spacious and very well equipped villa with an attractive garden. It is ideally placed for visiting the Eastern Algarve and enjoying this relatively unspoilt part of Portugal. There are some excellent restaurants nearby, our favourite (out of season at least) is the Fabrica Do Costa, which is in tiny village about 4 minutes drive directly South of the villa. Jo, the villa owner is very helpful and respond immediately to any queries or requests. Highly recommended.

Wonderful
We were delighted with Villa Alfarroba. It is superb, everything you need and more. We loved its location, quiet, peaceful but not isolated and set in a lovely well maintained garden. Everything was of the highest standard, comfortable and warm accommodation and an exceptionally well equipped kitchen. Jo was the perfect host, professional and always available if needed.

Family half term holiday
We had a brilliant week at the villa with our extended family from the USA. The villa is superbly equipped with everything you could possibly need and Jo is the perfect host. The pool was lovely, the outdoor kitchen is great and having beer on tap was the perfect finishing touch!

Fantastic property
The villa is as pictured, only better in every way. The house is spacious and well designed; there were only two of us, but the four bedrooms (each with ensuite) would be perfect for several couples or a family with children. The kitchen is large and extraordinarily well equipped -- two dishwashers, two ovens,, microwave and all the cooking equipment one could wish for. The property is beautifully landscaped and very private, and the pool one of the best we have had in any vrbo. As we were carrying work with us, reliable wifi was important, and it is not only reliable but fast. The owner, Jo, is a delight and helpful in every way, including excellent communications before and during our three week stay. All in all, one of the best, more professional of our many vrbo stays over the years. Five + stars in every category.

Best Ever !
Just back from a fantastic two week stay at Villa Alfarobba, and what a two weeks ! We were a party of 6 adults (aged 35 ~ 71), and four grandchildren (aged 2 ~ 6). Like many of the previous reviews before, the web site does not do this villa justice, and I doubt you will find a better equipped villa on the Algarve ! Everyone loved the heated pool, to the point were we had a job to get the children to come out. For the adults a lot of the evenings consisted of BBQ, and then sitting in the pool with either a cool draught beer or wine, mulling over the day. There were so many great things about the villa, probably too many to mention but here goes : a kitchen that bordered on being “professional” with every conceivable piece of kit ( the two dishwashers were a god send), definitely the heated pool, the outside kitchen, air-con throughout, sound bars everywhere (including the outside kitchen), the cinema room downstairs ( especially for the kids), and of course having beer and wine on tap ! Yes, you could say it was a little quiet, but that is what we wanted and why we chose the Eastern Algarve. Sitting on the terrace with a cool drink, and not a sound to be heard . . . great ! Now to mention our host Jo, who only lived next door. From first making contact with her to saying a fond farewell, she was exemplary ! Nothing was too much trouble, and it was nice to have somebody on hand with so much local knowledge and advice. Woe that every villa came with a Jo. ! So to sum up, Pros : Everything, Cons : Leaving ! All that I can say from our experience was the time went all too quickly, but the memories will last a lifetime ! Many, many thanks Jo. p.s. I forgot to mention if you have pushchairs or wheelchairs, no problem there are ramps everywhere and wide doors, just another thoughtful detail.

Amazing Villla and hosts
We have just returned from a stay with our 2 children aged 12 and 14 over the October half term The villa is exactly as you see on the photos - scrupulously clean, spacious, well equipped and modern. Jo and Paul were amazing hosts from start to finish. We made use of the heated pool everyday and in between times the kids were able to choose between watching a film in the home cinema, or on the huge TV in the lounge, making use of the wifi or playing table tennis in the basement games room. The weather was amazing and we found lots of family run restaurants and cafes to enjoy in the local area. The Eastern Algarve region took us both by surprise with its beauty and charm and we enjoyed exploring it. This is the sort of villa that I can imagine returning to again and again. 😊
