This modern, two storey villa is ideally situated within the popular Vale do Milho development just a five minutes drive from the centre of Carvoeiro.

Villa Phillipa also benefits from having a gated private pool as added security for smaller children.

Stairs lead up to a private roof terrace. The terrace surrounds the kidney shaped pool which measures 10 x 5 m and is accessed by ladders.

Amenities

The popular community of Vale do Milho is to the east of Carvoeiro between the town and Rocha Brava and close to the sea. Vale do Milho is perhaps best known for the challenging 9-hole golf course and the clubhouse, 600m away, is a great venue for a relaxing lunch. With a couple more restaurants, the typical Portuguese restaurant in Aerias dos Moinhos should not be missed, and the stunning Centiannes beach all within a short walk it is possible to relax without the car. The centre of Carvoeiro is some 3.5km along the coast but many people stroll down there in the early evening for a wider choice of restaurants, bars and shops before a taxi ride home after dinner. Carvoeiro is particularly well known for its beaches; the rocky coastlines has been eroded over time into a series of stunning sandy coves, breathtakingly beautiful but please access with care and sensible footwear. Many of the beaches also have snack bars for a drink or light lunch. Over to the west, where the calm waters of the River Arade meet the sea and separate Carvoeiro from Portimao is Ferragudo. Ferragudo is about 4km from Carvoeiro centre and a resort in its own right, a well known location for a wide range of watersports, Between here and the town are many smaller coves, accessible only on foot (or by boat) namely Currais, Lapa and Paraiso. Those closer to the town are within easy reach of Clube Carvoeiro. On the Eastern side of town, some the beaches have been a little more developed mainly by hotels; Almanzor and Centiannes are definitely worth a visit. Beyond Rocha Brava and the lighthouse (Farol) is Smuggler's beach, also known as Alfanzina. It is reached by a cliff path that cuts through the rock in a series of tunnels. Further east is Benagil beach and the stunning Marinha beach with its distinctive rock stacks, both have snack bars. Like most of the Algarve, golf courses abound. The Carvoeiro Country Club centres around the Grammacho and Pinta courses near to Lagoa, as well as Vale do Milho, a challenging 9-hole course with a great clubhouse. There are tennis centres in Clube Carvoeiro and Rocha Brava and a riding centre and watersports at Ferragudo to the west. Waterparks are popular in the Algarve with the nearest being Slide and Splash, a smaller park between Lagoa and the Country Club. Several other parks are along the EN 125 heading towards Faro. Also worth a visit is the Zoo-Marine Park with rides, animal shows and the opportunity to swim with dolphins, located just west of Guia on the EN 125. There are several boat trips available in the Carvoeiro area, exploring the fantastic coastline and stopping at exotic beaches. Perhaps the most memorable day out and under sail is aboard Santa Bernada - a replica caravelle, which departs from the old sardine pier in Portimao on weekdays.
