About this property

Algarve, Almancil: Fully secluded villa with private pool, urb Varandas do Lago.

The villa is located in a dead-end street of urbanisation of Varandas do Lago, so it has the facilities of a development but all the benefits of an independent villa. It is just a stroll to restaurants on Julias- and Ancão beach and the restaurants on Vale do Garrão and Dunas Douradas urbanisations, tennis courts (on Vale do Garrão, 400 meters) and extra communal swimming pools (on Vale do Garrão).

Upper floor.
Large master bedroom and an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower and a balcony facing the swimming pool area. Further secluded terrace accessed from the landing.
Second bedroom with 2 beds and an en-suite bathroom.

Ground floor
Third bedroom with two beds and doors leading to the terrace overlooking the pool area and a fourth bedroom with 2 beds. In between these two bedrooms there is bathroom with a shower, toilet, bidet.
Kitchen with a door leading to an outdoor terrace and the barbecue area. Spacious living with fireplace and dining room with French windows to a covered raised terrace with access to the swimming pool which has steps and a floodlit surrounding terrace. Partially secluded gardens with shrubs and trees and a small lawn.

Area description : Villa Vivenda is situated in the heart of the so called Golden Triangle of the Algarve.
We advice you to check its location on Google Earth: click on the coordinates 37 ° 02'53 .01 'N, 08 ° 02'21 .53' west longitude.
Sightseeing around Almancil: The church of Sao Lourenço de Matos is situated on a hill. It owes its name to Laurentius (3rd century), who's life was ended on a funeral pile because he gave the money meant for the construction of the church to the poor. In the 17th century the chapel was covered with tiles (azulejos). Together with the Marbel alter and the wood carving you should visit this church.

On 18 km. from the urbanisations you will find the centre of the capital city of the Algarve: Faro, with its beautiful historical centre next to the small vessel harbour, has several shopping centres. There are lots of cafes and restaurants as well.

The shops are modern and they can be compared with the shops you are used to in UK and Ireland. Most of them are opened between 09.00 and 23.00 hour. Between the city centre and Faro airport Forum Algarve mall is opened between 09.00 and 23.00. Since 2018 there is a new mall (Mar Shopping Centre) just in between Loulé and Faro (next to the IKEA shop).

Fun for Kids: In a country where the weather most of the year is warm and sunny, your children can play with water. Fortunately all the villas have a private swimming pool!
Older children can go to the communal pool of Riapark Garden hotel and the pool next to the tennis court on urbanization Vale do Garrão. Just a stroll of 200 meters!

Zoo marine
A water park with several dolphin, seal and sea-lion shows. One can also watch turtles, sharks, crocodiles, tropical fish and exotic and aquatic birds in the Oceans area that presents the life cycle of water and fauna from river source to ocean depth.

In the Algarve there are three water parks:
The Big One, on the N125 at SILVES
Slide & Splash, on the N125 at LAGOA
Aqua show, on N396 between LOULÉ and QUARTEIRA.

Lovely Villa
Enjoyed two great weeks in this spacious villa with great outside area including a large deep pool. If UK TV is your thing then not a lot to choose from and possibly the main bedroom air con unit needs serviced as it struggled in the heat. But overall minor grumbles on a well maintained very clean house that I would return to without hesitation and strongly recommend

About the host

Hosted by Oebele Veenstra

Host profile image
We are Sietske Abma & Oebele Veenstra from the Netherlands and since February 2012 moved from Heemskerk (near Amsterdam) to the province of Friesland in the village of De Wilgen. Back to the roots.

Many years ago we made a 3-weeks-Portugal-tour with a closing 'week of sun in the Algarve'. The environment of the village of Almancil are very pleased! Two years later went back and decided to buy a house to get yourself to stay and to rent.

At least twice in every year we go to our villa with pleasure. We are delighted with the (year-round) mild climate, friendly atmosphere, delicious food and luxurious surroundings.

Why they chose this property

As the urbanisation was set up in a luxury atmosphere, we thought we would make a good decision to buy a plot not far from the beach. With a constructor we trusted very much (by then we knew him for 8 years as has done jobs for our second villa in the Algarve) and an architect we were able to built a first class villa with private pool.

What makes this property unique

The guests visited our villa Vivenda in the past informed us that they were very pleased about the quality, the facilities of the villa. What more can we say?
