Casa da Rosalina

A short distance from the sea, the boardwalk/promenade, and more, this family-friendly villa lets you experience it all. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 7-minute walk to Casa das Mudas Arts Center, or easily tackle the quick 4-minute drive to Calheta Beach.

Spend a day at the nearby beach, relax by the outdoor pool (enjoy the sun loungers!), or sip a drink on the furnished patio of this villa, which also features a garden. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and video-game console.

A living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and climate-controlled air-conditioning are featured at this 5-bedroom rental. You can also use the rainfall showerhead, plus other bathroom amenities like towels and a hair dryer. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, as well as an espresso maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you can even travel light because you'll have a washer/dryer.
