Outstanding Landscapes
Villa Mujeira is a charming hilltop bungalow located in the popular area Quinta das Raposeiras in the Algarve. The views from the villa are breathtaking, masterfully displaying a panorama of the ocean and mountains, with the sparkling lights of Faro in the distance. A twenty-minute drive from the airport and within walking distance of the local restaurants and sports clubs, the location is perfect for exploring the best the Algarve has to offer.
The villa itself is located on a south-facing hill, where a series of charming villas sit hidden amongst the greenery. A short fifteen-minute walk down the hill is a tennis club with three courts and a padel court. You will also find the renowned restaurant Raízes, which is a must-visit during your stay.
Situated between the towns Loulé and São Brás de Alportel, there are supermarkets and conveniences all within a ten-minute drive of the villa and an endless array of fantastic restaurants to choose from. There is a fantastic covered market in Loulé that we would recommend, as well as a trip to the affluent Vilamoura Casino. The casino has become somewhat of an institution, well recognised as a luxurious landmark which has played host to some of the world’s most iconic footballers. The casino offers over 500 slot machines and 12 live game tables, meaning that guests can gamble the night away in several different ways. There are also cabaret shows and performances to create an entire evening of entertainment.
The magnificent Igreja de Sao Lourenco, ten minutes from the villa, speaks to the deeply significant religious history of the area. Translated as the Church of Sao Lourenco, this monument has been standing since 1730 and is one of the most visited landmarks in the region. The beautiful architecture and remarkable blue tiles, and ornate artefacts inside must be seen in person to be properly appreciated.
For beach lovers, there are stunning beaches just a twenty-minute drive from the front door. In fact, you can hop on one of the ferries from Olhão, Faro, Fuseta or Tavira to the sandy islands in the protected lagoon landscape of the Ria Formosa.
The central location within the Algarve means the luxuries of Vale do Lobo, and the amenities of Quinta do Lago are also only a twenty-minute drive away, providing endless beaches to visit, sights to see, and places to go during your stay.

The Region
Estoi is a fascinating little town hidden away a few kilometres from the Algarve coastline. It makes for a perfect home base while exploring the region, although there is not much going on in the village itself.
Estoi is simple and picturesque, with cobbled streets, whitewashed houses and terracotta roofs. You can begin your exploration of the region’s history right here with the Palácio de Estoi, an exquisite rose-coloured rococo palace which is open to the public and nowadays run as a hotel.
Close by there are also the ruins of a Roman villa dating all the way back to the 2nd century AD. But most of what you’ll be doing in the village of Estoi is relaxing and looking on as local life goes around you, as well as travelling to explore the Algarve on your own terms.
ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that.
But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
