Set back from town on a quiet residential street, Alporchinhos Laranja is the perfect place to call home for a holiday in the sun. This beautiful traditional Portuguese villa is sure to wow you from the moment you drive through its gates and bring your suitcases in. With a private security gate providing access to a secure driveway where you can park your cars, you feel safe and secure from the moment you arrive.
On entry to the villa, a cosy, traditionally decorated home greets you. Your living room is large and airy with comfy sofas and a satellite TV that you can use to keep up to date with your favourite shows.
On the other side of the villa, you’ll find a fully-equipped kitchen with all the mod cons you need to make delicious meals for your family and guests. At Alporchinhos Laranja, the kitchen is truly the heart of the home, with your dining table located in the kitchen itself, helping to give the property that homely feel.
Additional cooking and dining facilities are located in the villa’s garden, with a large traditional barbecue area and outdoor seating so you can enjoy your meals in the sun straight from the grill. Alporchinhos Laranja has four to choose from across two levels, each decorated in a simple rustic Mediterranean style. The ground floor has two twin bedrooms which share a single bathroom. Upstairs, there is a double bedroom and another single bedroom, both of which have their own en-suite bathrooms.
Outside, your private swimming pool is waiting. Located in the garden to the rear of the villa, the pool is the main attraction for many guests. With the freedom to use the pool whenever you like for however long you like, the benefits of a private pool are popular with guests of all ages. Around the swimming pool are sun loungers with parasols as well as another small seating area.
For additional entertainment, Alporchinhos Laranja has both a full-sized ping pong table and a ping-pong pool table which you can use to show off your competitive side with your family and friends.

<1hr to Airport
Set back from the town of Armação de Pêra, Alporchinhos Laranja is located on the outskirts of a quiet residential area of Porches, the adjacent parish. While your location is nice and quiet, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the fun. In fact, Alporchinhos Laranja’s location makes it the ideal option for holidaymakers who like to be close enough to the action to join in but like being able to retreat to their own space when they want to step back.
You’re just five minutes away from the town of Armação de Pêra, where you’ll be able to find grocery stores, pharmacists, bars, shops and restaurants. It’s also next to the wonderful Praia de Armação de Pêra beach, which has been granted Blue Flag status. You’re also just a short drive away from several other beaches, including the similarly popular Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha. Both beaches have Blue Flag status; however, Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha is slightly more quiet than Praia de Armação de Pêra as it’s further away from the town centre and is a touch larger, meaning people can spread out more.
To get to Alporchinhos Laranja, you’ll likely drive in from Faro Airport, which will take around 40 minutes.

The Region
Carvoeiro has always been known for its beautiful coastline, adorned with cliffs, coves and incredible sandy beaches stretching all the way along to Albufeira. These days, however, there is a lot more going on in this charming town than just waves hitting the sand (although that’s certainly still a highlight).
In the past few years Carvoeiro has developed to accommodate for the growing number of tourists who are curious to see what the fuzz is all about, and the town continues to get livelier and livelier each summer. While it has kept its character and remains exquisitely peaceful, there are also plenty of modern amenities and loads of exciting activities in the area. The only thing Carvoeiro won’t provide is a good party, but there are other parts of the Algarve which are perfect for that.
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!
