High above Vale de Parra, this is certainly one of the most comfortable and attractive villas in our portfolio. Every detail is stylish, every item of furniture and equipment chosen with care. The design encompasses both modern and Moorish; graceful archways and thick, whitewashed walls; a wide spiral staircase topped by a domed ceiling; beautiful fabrics enhance marble floored bedrooms. The fitted kitchen/utility/breakfast room is well equipped and the spacious sitting room has patio doors leading out to the terraces and pool, as do each of the downstairs bedrooms.
The pool dominates the colourful, landscaped garden and there are views over the surrounding valley to Galé Beach from both the pool area and the secluded roof terrace - we should warn you that this terrace has been the setting for three marriage proposals (all accepted!). The garden has a tropical feel with extensive lawns and various exotic plants and trees. On several different levels, there are areas of privacy and the thatched pergolas give welcome shade to the swimming pool terrace. There is a gas barbecue at the side of the house with a sheltered dining area and views over the surrounding countryside to the Monchique Mountains. Numerous good restaurants are within a five minute drive of Terras Altas, for example São Domingos and O Marinheiro (both with vegetarian dishes available).
There is a garden fence separating the main house from the pool area making it safer for young children.

"Albufeira is a great location for families and young groups with lots of activities and nightlife in the livelier parts. There are also some of the prettiest beaches in the Algarve here and plenty of quieter areas for those who want a more relaxing vibe, like Vale de Parra. Choosing villa rental in Albufeira is by far the best way to enjoy this exciting region. Some of our most loved villas to rent are in this area and we have clients that return year after year."
"Some of the resorts in this area can become crowded in the peak season and Albufeira beach can be busy in the summer. With so many beaches and coves along the coast road, it is well worth exploring to find your new favourite beach. The Atlantic can be a little cooler than the Mediterranean so it is a good idea to pack or hire wetsuits if you want to surf or enjoy prolonged swims. It is also a good idea to book ahead if you want to eat out as the restaurants can get busy.”
