Overview
Located in the famous holiday region of Galé in the Algarve of Portugal, Villa do Gale is a stunning home for up to 8 guests equipped within its own pool and overlooking the ocean.
This exquisite holiday home is situated in a residential area of Galé and only a short stroll away from the beach and sea, making it an ideal location for families. The front door opens immediately onto a spacious, stylish living room and open-plan dining area, facing floor to ceiling windows, which allow perfectly for the summer sun to flood through and keep the villa bright. The living room includes comfortable sofas, which look out on to your private pool and terrace, all fully equipped with deck chairs, alfresco dining and an outdoor living space. This provides the perfect environment for ultimate relaxation in the sun and allows you to make the most of those gorgeous summer temperatures. The kitchen is simplistic in style and provides everything needed to make the most of your self-catering holiday, with an oven, microwave, dishwasher, freezer and even an electric coffee machine.
There are four beautiful bedrooms, all with modern furnishings, giving them an effortlessly homey atmosphere. Two of the bedrooms are located on the ground floor, one of which is fitted with two beds, and the other room includes one french bed. On the upper floor, there are the two remaining bedrooms, both with one french bed and en-suite. Each room is decorated in simple white and blue colours, to encompass a low-key, and natural style, which is displayed throughout the entire villa. There is also a baby cot available if necessary. A few of the bedrooms include additional living areas and balconies. These balconies not only overlook the pool, but also showcase the beautiful sea view.
The garden provides an excellent environment to combine socialising with individual relaxation. Step straight from the comforts of the living room into the heat and sunshine, inviting you to spend time with your family enjoying the refreshing pool. There are multiple deck chairs provided, which are a necessity for a day sunbathing around the pool. However, the villa also includes a BBQ and outdoor dining furniture so you can make the most of the long-lasting heat and eat outdoors. If you seek some shade throughout your day, there is also an outdoor communal area, equipped with comfortable sofas and a quaint coffee table.

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!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla do Gale is the perfect holiday home for families. The villa itself is situated in a safe, friendly neighbourhood, however, the area of Galé also provides numerous activities, which are ideal for keeping children entertained.
Having a private pool at the villa is ideal for those days, when you don’t want to venture into the town. Whilst you relax on the deck chairs, your children are free to play in the pool and garden in a secure and intimate space. The privacy provided at the villa ensures their safety and personal enjoyment. For older children, the ensuite rooms and balconies are perfect for giving them their needed privacy. It is also important to note the provision of Wi-Fi, which is often essential for older children these days! The various living spaces available both indoors and out, are a great way to bring the family together, and the BBQ is a fun way to make mealtimes more interesting.
If you want to switch up a day at the villa, for something else exciting there is a selection of different activities in the area of Galé, which the children can participate in. These include the closely situated golf course, surf school, tennis, minigolf and riding stable. The vast range of extra pastimes means there is something for any child of any age to enjoy not forgetting you parents as well! There are also several nearby attractions, which have proved popular with children in the past. Some of these attractions include Zoomarine and Aqualand, both are water parks, with a never-ending number of slides and rides, sure to provide your children with some memorable moments and fulfil their holiday dreams. The Sand City Fiesa, which is only a short twenty-minute drive away from your villa, offers a playground and workshops ideal for children participation. The charming city of Albufeira, which is within twenty minutes from Galé, is another brilliant day out, with a popular beach, a great selection of shops and some fantastic restaurants. If including fitness in your holiday is an essential element, there are some interesting hiking paths in Monchique, which are highly recommended.
