The villa adapts to the seasons, providing freshness and tranquility in the summer and warmth and comfort in the winter with central heating. Inspired by our lifestyle and our travels, we make the well-being of our guests our top priority, so that each person feels comfortable and completely at home. With this in mind, we are always available to share our knowledge with our guests and offer the necessary recommendations so that they can make the most of their stay.
After years of spending holidays on the Costa Vicentina, with its magnificent beaches of turquoise water and the whole region that has so much to offer, we decided to buy a plot of land and build this villa in a central location between the Costa Vicentina and the Algarve.
The Vicentina@Algarve villa is environmentally friendly! We value sustainability, which is why we use heat pumps to transform thermal energy into heat, making it very energy efficient.
Without luxury, but with the guarantee of simplicity and respect for local architecture, the villa is made of traditional masonry, clay tiles and wooden ceilings.
We chose the best details to make it practical, peaceful and comfortable, in order to provide:
Good sun exposure and privacy in the living area;
A swimming pool with submerged benches to relax and cool off on hot days;
A kitchen and living room with direct access to the porch, a true invitation to relaxation and well-being thanks to its large terrace equipped with a table for a large group of people and a barbecue;
Independent access to the bedrooms, located on the opposite side of the common area, ensuring greater peace and quiet for rest;
Parking inside the property for up to 4 cars;
For those who need to work, we offer a work area in one of the bedrooms;
Green area where we have preserved the natural vegetation, including rockroses and other native plants with a relaxation area to enjoy the magnificent sunset over the Atlantic Ocean, with a good glass of wine or simply to read a book.
To help you discover the best of the region, we have compiled a careful selection of references, from beaches, activities to restaurants chosen for their quality and recommended.
We want you to enjoy the best the region has to offer!
Don't forget to explore the Costa Vicentina trails, some of which are accessible directly from the house. For more information, visit RotaVicentina.com
The two closest beaches are:
Monte Clérigo: it is a great beach, with lots of wildlife, excellent at low tide for walking on the sand or strolling on the rocks. For those who like walking, we recommend the trails between the house and Monte Clérigo beach, the route and the landscape are unforgettable;
Arrifana: beautiful and sheltered beach, with calmer waters and great for windy days. It is not possible to park right next to the beach, but you can take your car right up to the beach to drop off your family and then return and park in the car parks above and walk down;
In addition to these, there are several beaches relatively close to Vale da Telha, in Aljezur, the beach of Amoreira. Still in the municipality of Aljezur, you have the Praia da Odeciexe, Praia do Vale dos Homens, Vale de Figueira, Carrapateira (Bordeira) e o Amado.

Hiking
The Fishermen's Trail includes a total of 13 stages and 226.5 km and is probably one of the best coastal trails in the world.
Always along the sea, following the paths used by locals to access the beaches and fishing spots. It is a single track that can only be walked on foot, along the cliffs, with a lot of sand and sometimes more demanding from a physical point of view.
This is a trail not to be missed, and you can even access one of the stages directly from the villa. More information at https://rotavicentina.com
Surfing For the more adventurous, surf the waves at the local beaches. Surf schools are located next to the beach, both at Praia da Arrifana and Praia de Monte Clérigos.

The house was everything it looked like in the pictures and even better. The common area in the house is very big and comfortable. The pool is a great addition to the house and the bbq is perfectly equipped. There table outside is always in the shadow so you never feel like it is too hot outside. The kitchen is equiped with absolutely everything you might need and we really enjoyed cooking there and on the grill. The bedrooms are big and the beds are very comfortable. Even when it gets hot outside the inside of the house stays fresh so we all slept great. The bathrooms are also very nice. The location is really great, close to 2 amazing beaches where you can have surf lessons. If going early in the morning even walking there is nice, about half an hour. All 9 of us would for sure go back to this house again.

Casa muito confortável, muito bem equipada. Excelente espaço exterior para desfrutar com a família e/ou amigos. Onde podemos conviver todos mas também permite ter privacidade. Ao final do dia podemos observar um magnífico por do sol. A zona exterior de barbecue é muito boa facilitando todas as tarefas para um belo churrasco e depois ficar a desfrutar da noite calma e quente. Foi uma semana fantástica!

We had a wonderful stay at Paula’s. The Villa is very spacious and slept 10 of us comfortably. The pool was bigger than a dipping pool and the kids spent hours in it. The Villa is a 5 minute walk from lovely restaurants and a bakery. It’s a 5 min drive to the beach at Arifanna. The Villa is very well equipped with everything you need to cook at home. We used the BBQ a lot. We had a family emergency and Paula was very accommodating and couldn’t have been more helpful. We loved it and would definitely come back.
