An enchanting and timeless villa located on the outskirts of Almancil, just 3km from of Vale do Lobo and just 6km from Quinta do Lago. Villa Bispo allows guests to deeply unwind in a minimalist yet intriguing property. The exterior of this villa maintains a peach colour scheme, seen by the matching walls and tiles. This space is also home to a considerable swimming pool that also offers guests a spectacular landscape that sits before them. There is also a broad porch area that is equipped with multiple outdoor seating arrangements. In turn, guests are free to sit back, relax, and become more mindful of their blissful surroundings whilst on holiday.
Moving inside the property, you will first see the expansive and off-beat living area. This area is truly remarkable, making use of a variety of bright orange seating arrangements. These vibrant sofas are expertly contrasted with the plain white walls and off-white flooring. This also helps to create an attractive and striking contrast. Next to the living area is the combined kitchen/dining area, which adheres to a more simplistic theme. The kitchen uses a plethora of white cupboards and surfaces, helping to build a cohesive style throughout the space. Moreover, this area comes fully furnished so guests can prepare and serve a wide assortment of delicious meals whenever they please. The dining area uses a large table with a set of matching chairs, meaning that guests can enjoy every meal in a communal and desirable environment.
Travelling up to the first floor, this is where you’ll find three of the property’s bedrooms. The first bedroom includes a large double bed that is fitted with plump and decorative linens. Also, this room also leads out to an outdoor terrace, again giving amazing views of the nearby scenery. The second bedroom contains a pair of single beds and also gives access to the outdoor terrace. This room makes use of multiple natural light sources, offering guests a tranquil place to rest each night. The third room also uses a pair of single beds and follows a deep and rich purple colour scheme. Finally, the fourth bedroom uses a spacious double bed that also looks out upon the outdoor terrace located on the ground floor.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa BispoIn addition to Villa Bispo’s stunning features, this villa is also placed in the prime region just 6 minutes drive form Vale do Lobo. This exquisite location attracts a wide selection of guests every year due to its energetic atmosphere and exhilarating attractions.
If you are looking to explore the awe-inspiring landscape that Algarve has to offer, horse riding offers guests the chance to explore the region in an entirely unique way. Top Hipico is an acclaimed horse riding school in Algarve and is less than half an hour away from the centre of Vale do Lobo. During your time here, guests will travel around the magnificent landscape alongside a beautiful horse, allowing guests to see all of the sights with ease and grace. Each guest will also receive a safety briefing to ensure that both you and the horse feel safe and comfortable at all times. Prices for this activity are very reasonable with a 1-hour lesson costing just €30.
Just 3 kilometres or a quick 6-minute drive from Vale de Lobo lies Cappella dos Ossos, also known as The Chapel of Bones. Despite being a bit off the beaten path, this chapel is a must-visit for enthusiasts of macabre European history. Built in the 16th century, it presents a stark contrast between its seemingly typical 19th-century exterior and the chilling sight of human remains embedded within its walls, a grim solution to overflowing graveyards.
While Vale do Lobo is known for its premium golf courses, such as Vale, do Lobo Royal Course and Vale do Lobo Ocean Course, which offer an authentic 18-hole golfing experience with varying difficulty levels and stunning views, Cappella dos Ossos offers a unique glimpse into the region's past. After a round of golf, guests can explore this eerie yet fascinating chapel, making it a well-rounded experience for those visiting the area.

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. There’s actually a load of fascinating culture and history, superb cuisine and enthralling adventures to be had, though we’d be the first to admit that the beaches are pretty special too, with lots of sand, spectacle and wonderfully clean water.
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 AgesFamilies can find a treasure trove of kid-friendly attractions just 3 kilometres or a 6-minute drive from Vale de Lobo. Zoomarine Algarve beckons, a mere half-hour journey away, where children can immerse themselves in a world of marine wonders. With thrilling pirate and Jurassic-themed rides, along with captivating dolphin shows, the park offers a delightful adventure for youngsters.
Parents need not worry about hunger pangs, as the park boasts several onsite restaurants. From 10 am to 6 pm, tickets can be snagged online for just €19 each.
For the young speedsters craving excitement, Hot Wheels awaits a swift half-hour jaunt from Vale de Lobo. This indoor racing track lets kids live out their Formula 1 dream, offering 20cc and 400cc kart options on a cutting-edge course. With safety as a priority, guests receive a thorough briefing before hitting the track. Prices are wallet-friendly, with a 10-minute race costing a mere €15. However, the age and height requirements are worth noting—participants must be over 12 years old and stand at least 1.4m tall.
Thrill-seeking families can also venture to Parque Aventura, one of Portugal's top attractions, just a stone's throw away. Here, children can tackle a variety of adrenaline-pumping challenges like high ropes courses and paintball fields. With varying difficulty levels, the high ropes course ensures kids can explore at their own pace, while a pre-game tour eliminates any paintballing uncertainties. Entrance fees start at an affordable €13 for the ropes course and €18 for paintballing, promising an action-packed day for the whole family.
