Dunas Design Villa: private heated pool, Fibre, golf discounts, walk to beach

This villa designed by Triorum Algarve is located in a quiet corner of Dunas Douradas, and features a private heated pool with a kids section and safety fence*, in the south-facing outside patio that benefits from all day sun exposure and nature views. It is within walking distance to the beach, and has two double bedrooms as well as a comfortable open living-dining area - perfect for a family or a couple.

Guests of this villa have access to all of Triorum Algarve's usual benefits, such as a free baby and child package and Golf discounts. You can see all benefits on our Triorum Algarve site.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

This Villa is located at the end of a quiet residential cul-de-sac in the luxury resort of Dunas Douradas, between the world-renowned resorts of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, in central Algarve.

The Villa backs straight onto the Pine Trees and therefore affords beautiful views and privacy - a privilege that will make your stay a truly relaxing experience. A 10-15 minute walk takes you to nearby Garrao beach, its beachfront restaurants, and the ocean.

The pinewood surroundings can be enjoyed from the south-facing living room, from the deck next to the private pool and BBQ area, or from the first floor balcony window.

The Dunas Douradas resort clubhouse with its pool bar, restaurant, large communal pool, tennis courts and mini market, is a one-minute walk away. The staffed reception offers concierge services to help you with information, advice and reservations of taxis, restaurants and local attractions. During check-in, you will receive a magnetic key that provides access to the resort facilities.

Europe's finest golf courses of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo are a 5-minutes drive away, as are a host of additional activities such as horse riding, water sports, go karting, cinema, shopping, bars, restaurants and water parks, to name a few. See more details in the location description.

THE VILLA

This air-conditioned** villa with its large private heated pool that includes a separate children’s section and safety fence* is ideal for a family or two couples wanting to get away from it all without being isolated.

The south-facing exterior receives sun all day long and offers the ideal space for relaxing in the sun or dining al fresco, with a large ceramic-tiled pool that includes a kids section for your children’s enjoyment.

A large sun sail, sun loungers, a dining table, a BBQ and a glass wall to the pine trees round off the outdoor experience of the villa. The pool and outside area have been completely refurbished recently and are the star attraction of this beautifully kept property.

In the inside, the villa offers an open-plan living and dining area with a fully equipped kitchen and lounge space. The living area features a fireplace, cable TV, DVD, portable stereo, bluetooth soundbar speaker, and free WiFi internet access. Sliding doors provide access to the private outside deck and pool.

The ground floor bedroom features twin beds, a wardrobe and sliding doors to the outside. It also has its own adjacent bathroom. The beds can be pushed together to make a queen size bed.

The first floor master double bedroom with ensuite full bathroom features a king size bed, wardrobe and beautiful views over the private pool and the pine trees beyond.

The best stay we've had
For us, as a family of four, it was our first stay un Portugal. And on recommendation we booked via Vrbo homes and stayed at a lovely Villa. Our host was brilliant. Lynn was always contactable, giving us into of the surrounding areas and recommendations for markets and restaurants to visit.. The stay was so good we are now planning our next trip to stay at the same villa.

Perfect getaway
This was our first time taking a long term rental to work remotely. We found the property, facilities and location ideal. The villa is ideal for mixed indoor outdoor living even in the autumn, / winter with its large patio and heated pool. Our host was excellent - Lynn was attentive and spent time not just ensuring we got the most out of the property but also the location. Perfect for a family of four or as in our case a couple on a long term stay with a 2nd “guest” room for occasional visitors.

Family time in the Algarve
Lynn was on point from start to finish, through with everything and always with quick good suggestions. Very accommodating for our visit with the pool. Beach is a solid walk along with food places with kiddos but kept us active. Def recommend this property to anyone! Thank you for a nice holiday!

2 Week stay in our happy place
We have stayed in this area many times over recent years and know it well. Booking all sorted smoothly with Lynn beforehand who was actually there at the villa to greet us and make sure everything was ok when we arrived. Both the Villa and the location were perfect. Villa is furnished lovely and the pool and sun terrace are superb. It’s a 10 - 15 minute stroll down the road to the beach Julia’s, Izzy’s and Maria’s restaurants. Would have no hesitation in recommending for one or two couples or a family of 4. Already thinking about booking again for next year.

Wunderbar!
Wir haben einen sehr erholsamen Urlaub in der Villa verbracht. Die Sonnenterrasse und der Pool sind ein Traum - man ist völlig ungestört und blickt in die Natur. Die Villa ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bietet von der Ausstattung alles was man benötigt! Zudem ist alles rundum gepflegt und absolut sauber. Lynn ist eine äußerst sympathische Vermieterin und mit der Kommunikation & Organisation war alles perfekt! Wir sagen DANKE und kommen gerne wieder!

Great villa for a family of 4 holiday
Our whole experience renting this villa has been great throughout. Lynn was a fantastic host, she was there to meet us on arrival at the villa. I’ve never seen a better villa information booklet. When there were local forest fires Lynn was inconstant contact with us to check on our safety and to update us. Thankfully this was just one day and all was well. The location of the villa was perfect, 15 mins walk to the local beach and a great selection of local restaurants. The local clubhouse and pool was handy, especially the local mini market there. We were a family of 4 with 2 older teenage girls and it was perfect for us. A great pool at the villa and handy shaded area when it became too hot.

An immaculate home from home villa!
We very much enjoyed our stay here and were impressed with the outdoor space especially. It was the perfect Villa for our family, with all the mod cons and more. Light and airy and very comfortable. We felt instantly at home in the very peaceful but incredibly well located area. The owners were helpful and also gave us some invaluable advice about the area and all the local amenities. Would definitely recommend and would without a doubt look to rent this property again.

A lovely home away from home.
I have been going to DD for 30+ years and this was probably the nicest house I’d stayed in. The owner had thought of almost everything. Would have liked a few more platters and salad bowls but that’s only because we ate in a lot as my grandchildren are tiny and my son is an extravagant cook!! The pool area was beautiful and the children’s area was well thought out. Wonderful too to sit out overlooking beautiful pine trees. Also if you want a change of pools, the. Club House is very inviting plus Xenia is a good restaurant and they now have a mini market for everyday items. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone but if you’re there under a fortnight make sure you order housekeeping. All in all a great experience and holiday. Thank you x

Comfortable, clean and private villa with new patio and pool area.
The pool area was perfect for a family; clean and modern and with a large pool with a deeper end with enough space for a competent swimmer to swim lengths plus an additional smaller side pool to sit in that would suit smaller children, non swimmers or those who just want to read a book whilst sitting in the water! The house was modern, comfortable and clean and had all the amenities required to make it a true 'home from home' The sandy beach and amenties at the Dunas Douradas beach club are a short walk away although the pool at the villa was perfect so we spent most of our time there The owner, Lynn, is well organised and thoughtful and gave us a warm welcome and plenty of recommendations of how to make the most of our stay in the area I would recommend this property to friends and relatives

Great family stay with excellent pool
Good spot to explore the Dunas Douradas surroundings. The villa itself is very complete and great for families. Lynn, the owner, is very welcoming and proved helpful before and after arrival. The recently added pool is a great boon, with view of the nature reserve & sun all day, in particular we liked the shallow kids section of the pool for our 2 year old. The resort is very nice- we enjoyed a few lunches at the club with its excellent communal pool or at the nearby beach. Well-supplied supermarkets are 5 mins drive away but the mini market at the club provides fresh morning bread. Our kids loved the open air cinema picnic - thanks for the suggestion Lynn!. From here we also explored a bit further afield, like the forum Algarve mall in Faro and even a day trip to Seville. All in all a great stay.

Beautifully appointed
Great welcome, great owner, great facilities and great location. We had a brilliant week with 2 adults and 3 children (13,5,3). The villa had everything we needed and Lynn was easily accessible for any questions. The villa's pool is a real highlight, especially with the separate children's area and the provision of little extras (eg pool toys, dvds etc) meant that we could get straight on with our holiday. We used taxis rather than hire a car for the whole week as our priorities were the beach and pool but if you want to do lots of days out then a car is a better option. The beach is a 15 min walk (with children) but is huge with plenty to do and see. Zoomarine appears to be an obligatory day out but despite the ticket cost is actually really good value as there is so much to do and it's all included in the price. Overall, a really good villa in a good location with a lovely owner! Highly recommended!

Perfect family holiday experience
Enjoyed a fantastic week in this lovely villa. The villa is very well equipped, having everything you would want for a family, including our 2 kids who are 5 and 3. Very well equipped kitchen including a coffee machine which is a nice touch. Comfy sofa and TV with a DVD player for the kids. Beautiful outdoor area with a table for outdoor dining, large built in BBQ, 4 sun loungers. Star of the show is a brand new pool which we had heated for the kids. A good size and added bonus of an attached paddling pool ideal for the kids to play in when they weren't swimming. Two very good sized bedrooms both ensuite. Handy to have free access to Dunas Doradas resort with pool and restaurant and mini market. 15 minute walk to the beach which is very popular and has lots of good beachside restaurants. The beach is steep sloping and the sea is very powerful so didn't suit our young kids but older kids were fine for swimming. If you're a golfer than the villa is ideally located between 2 brilliant courses in Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago. Finally, the owner Lynn was extremely helpful before we arrived and during our stay. We highly recommend this great property. We shall return.

Perfect holiday home from home
Everything about the villa and resort is fantastic. There is usually something that doesn't quite live up to the description - but not in this case! The villa is lovely; really well equipped and comfortable and the outside space is superb. You feel like you are at a luxury resort with the view out to the pines and your own well cared for pool. But it is the little extras that really make this place special. There are two cupboards full of outdoor toys. Nespresso capsules have been pre sourced for you so you can enjoy a good cup of coffee. There are DVDs ready for a rainy day. The wifi works wonderfully. The showers are great. The beds are comfortable. It is clear that Lynn the owner has a great eye for detail and really cares about providing a great holiday. And finally, Dunas Doradas itself is lovely. The beaches genuinely are a walk away. The communal pool is lovely. There are tennis courts if you want to be more active or a spa if not. And the mini market sells freshly made bread and croissants each morning. What more do you need??
