Casa da Paz by Amarantevillas

A short distance from a water park, birdwatching, and more, this smoke-free villa lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 16-minute drive to Albufeira Old Town Square or the 25-minute drive to Carvoeiro Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the heated pool or sip a drink in the hot tub; you may also like the garden and deck or patio. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis and billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 8-bedroom, 7-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a lobster pot. And thanks to the washer and dryer, you'll even be able to travel light.
