Set on a quiet residential street in Porches, Villa Crastos invites travellers from all over to put their feet up, rest and relax in the gentle sunshine. This stunning traditional villa boasts seven bedrooms and lots of space for guests and visitors alike, making it the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing break with your nearest and dearest. To access Villa Crastos, you’ll drive right to the very end of a quiet street and enter through an electric security gate which opens up onto a long driveway with ample space for vehicles. Split across two levels; you’ll find the majority of your amenities and facilities on the ground floor. The property is tiled throughout in traditional earthy tones, keeping the property nice and cool even on the warmest days. Each room is decorated in simple traditional Portuguese stylings, making you feel well and truly at home during your stay. Your living room is large, comfortably seating all guests with a TV for group viewing and patio doors leading out onto the garden terrace. Following through to the kitchen, you’ll find all you need to cook up delicious meals for your family and friends. For casual bites, a small breakfast bar with seating is located within the kitchen itself; however, the main dining space is located just behind the kitchen in an additional room. Further dining space is available outside in the garden, with several picnic-style tables around the barbecue and a long dining table nestled beneath a canopy of local trees. Villa Crastos gives you seven rooms to choose from, each decorated in a similar simple style. Most of the rooms have a private en-suite though some have shared facilities. The seventh bedroom, however, is slightly different as this room is located on the top floor of the villa and feels like its own apartment with its own kitchenette and fridge, plus access to a cosy roof terrace with tables and chairs. Outside, you have a large garden complete with a large private swimming pool which sits on a terrace surrounded by sun loungers and parasols. The barbecue and outdoor dining area are located just behind the swimming pool, making outdoor lunches really easy to arrange. Features: The Villa Villa Crastos is located in an excellent location, at the end of a cul de sac. The villa exudes a pleasant atmosphere of peace and relaxation. There are 10 beaches within walking distance of the villa. Praia das Fontainhas is perhaps the most photogenic of these beaches. The supermarket and various restaurants are also within walking distance.

While you can get around on foot, we recommend renting a car during your stay as the area is relatively hilly and walking around may not be suitable for all visitors. Your nearest beaches are Praia da Cova Redonda, Praia dos Cavalos, Praia Nova and Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha, all about five minutes away by car or twenty minutes on foot. All of the nearby beaches are clean and quiet; however, only Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha has the coveted Blue Flag status, identifying it as one of the best beaches in the area. There are a few shops, bars and restaurants in the area, but there are even more in neighbouring Praia de Armação de Pêra, a small traditional coastal villa set back from a beautiful strip of golden sand. To get to Villa Crastos, you can drive in as part of a wider trip with ease, as the area is well served by both local and national rail links. Or, you can make your way to the villa directly from Faro Airport, which is around 40 minutes away by car. Terms & Conditions: Security deposit?
