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

This villa designed by Triorum Algarve is located in a quiet corner of Dunas Douradas, and features a new private heated pool with a kids section and safety fence**, in a 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 living-dining area - perfect for a family or couple.

PLEASE do not send reservation requests without sending a message about available changeover dates!

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 resort of Dunas Douradas, between the luxury resorts of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, in central Algarve.

The Villa backs straight onto the pinetrees and therefore affords beautiful views and more privacy - a privilege enjoyed by only a few houses in the resort, which will make your stay a truly relaxing experience. A 5-10 minute walk takes you to nearby Garrao beach, its beach front restaurants and the ocean.

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

The Dunas Douradas resort club house 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. You receive a magnetic key during check-in to access these resort facilities.

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

THE VILLA

This villa is ideal for a family or couple 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 or dining al fresco. A beautiful new heated pool with an integrated kids section and safety fence**, a sun sail, sun loungers, a dining table, a BBQ and views to the pine trees round off the outdoor experience of the villa.

In the inside, the villa offers an open living and dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. 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 has its own adjacent luxury refurbished walk-in shower room. The beds can be pushed together to make a double.

Lovely stay
Lovely villa, great outlook from terrace and pool. Clean, nicely decorated and well equipped. Close to Dunas Douradas with lovely larger pool, and 15 mins walk to great beach with many restaurants. Use of local electric bikes was a bonus. Lynn has covered everything!

Algarve Villa
This is a wonderful two bedroom villa located in the Vale do Garräo district of the Algarve. The location is close to the beach, local shops, restaurants, golf and tennis facilities. The property is well equipped and highly suitable for a couple or small family. There is a south-facing back patio with a swimming pool. Our host Lynn was personable, very responsive and informative about the property and the area. Highly recommended.

12 days of bliss
Can't say enough positive things about our visit this summer. Firstly, Lynn was such a great host, offering fantastic advice on how to get the most out of the trip and area. Communication was perfect throughout. We chose not to hire a car and we definitely didn't need it. The location is great for a short walk to the beach, or a few euros in an Uber if you've a lot of stuff to bring and don't fancy the walk uphill back. The electric bike system in the area was also wonderful for nipping to the supermarket. In fact Uber's anywhere are so cheap and the drivers really friendly, especially when we had two energetic kids with us. The property is in a wonderfully quiet and clean location. We spent most time in the pool and the addition of the kids' section made us feel extra safe. Plenty of room in the pool for adults to have a decent swim too. The rooms were all spotless, facilities easy to use. The extra TV in the downstairs bedroom was very much loved by the kids too. We'll be looking to book again in the future for sure.

The villa was in a great location, good size pool for non swimmers and it had everything we needed. Just a 15 minute walk to the beach or a 2 minute walk to the club where there is a good size pool, tennis courts and a restaurant. All very relaxing and enjoyable.

Wonderful long rental.
My partner & I like to get away for a 4 week break in winter. Early last year we decided on The Algarve for our 2019 trip. We had stayed in of Lynns villas a couple of years ago, we didn’t hesitate to contact her to see what was available for us. We chose Villa Pinhal. It suited our needs , 2 beds 2 showers ,good outdoor space etc. In reality the villa is a beautiful home from home space. Comfortable, well equipped, excellent showers with plenty of hot water. The kitchen has everything anyone could need. Full size oven..glass hob. Plenty of dishes/ glasses / cutlery/ pans ... A dishwasher,washing machine & a large fridge freezer . The living area is very comfy..and there is large table & 6 chairs for indoor dining. The house is air conditioned which can be used as heating & Lynn provided fan heaters for the cool evenings indoors. The bedrooms are agood size, very comfortable beds ,good quality bed linen , duvets and throws for chilly nights.plenty of wardrobe space & hangers! Large sliding doors in all rooms ...so plenty of light. This villa is in a great location & south facing..what more could we want! Oh....it has a fabulous pool !!!!! There are plenty of bars / restaurants within a 20 minute walk & one of our favourites is just a few minutes walk round the corner. We highly recommend Villa Pinhal. And Lynn is a wonderful host...we didn’t have any problems at all. Booking was straightforward...the contract for our month was plain & simple. No hidden cost for anything. If you choose one Lynn’s villas.... Enjoy.

Clean, comfortable with personal touches made for a nice stay.
Everything was in good working order. Nice personal touches made the difference with condiments/useful kitchen products provided so that you didnt have to go out and buy them. Villa was very clean. Bed was comfortable and it was so quiet at night that we had great nights sleep. The appliances that we used were in good working order. Pool and outside are maintained to a high level.

We had a fantastic time at this villa . We had small children and they adored the pool .
Lynn was such a great host & made every effort that we settled in (with the welcome pack) to little treats for the children . The villa is so comfortable and feels like a home away from home . All I can say is we are definitely coming back !!!! 😀

Just enjoyed a fabulous week at the villa. Lynn the owner was extremely helpful and we were able to have an early check in which was a bonus! The villa was extremely clean and fully equipped with everything you would need - a truly home from home. We had the outside pool heated and it was just so good and would definitely recommend. This Villa is fantastic for a couple or a family - you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Lynn very much.

Lovely family Villa with all the extras for an amazing stay....
Lynn was very helpful during our stay - I was worried about the pool with my young children and she had special door locks fitted so kids cannot get out to the pool area without their parents. The pool heating was divine which made the villa fantastic for every season. The Villa had everything you could want or need and was tastefully decorated - she had kindly even provided our little ones with a few toys and activity book There is access to a luxury upmarket holiday club area and restaurants a short walk from the villa - so you can have a very private holiday or meet new friends if you so desire. Lynn was available during our whole stay and checked in that we were happy and checked us out again. Any query was promptly attended to. The beach is about a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive with many restaurants to choose from. A supermarket is also just 5 minutes away by car with a medical centre and other amenities - superb location and fantastic host. We will definitely book again as we found nothing an issue - which is how a holiday should be - also loved the kind "welcome pack!"
