Villa in peaceful location, superb views, pool, garden, mini golf and ping pong

SPECIAL - 20% Off advertised rate for Last Minute Getaway - JULY 5th to 19th - Villa Cortina is an impressive rural hideaway with stunning panoramic views set in beautiful countryside, well stocked with flowers and shrubs in very large landscaped gardens, including a good-sized pool, putting green and table tennis. It is situated only minutes from the bustling market town of Loule, with tourist attractions, shops/pharmacies etc., and the world famous resorts of Quinta do Lago and Vilamoura with their fabulous sandy beaches. The villa is WiFi enabled and has three double bedrooms, all with superb views, three bathrooms, a large living room, a newly fitted kitchen and a large new flat-screen Panasonic TV. Air-conditioning is included to the bedrooms for comfort. The villa benefits from an alarm system for your peace of mind for when you go exploring the local restaurants and nightlife! The gardens and grounds are maintained to a high standard by our team of gardeners. The ever popular putting green, and table tennis area, amidst hard and soft landscaping, offer entertainment for our active and not so active guests. There is an outside bar adjacent to the putting green which we call 'hole 19' where a cool drink awaits the players. The slight breeze is so nice on a very hot day and the terrace with umbrella provides respite from the midday sun. Time to top up your tan safely! The swallows swoop in low over the pool taking insects in flight and are wonderful to watch during the day. The sparkling lights on the horizon as dusk falls are mesmerising as they flicker and bob in the night air. Cortina is truly a magical escape from the daily routine back home and one we shall continue to enjoy for many more years to come.

Wow! What an oasis! Tranquil location. Close enough to shops but far enough away to have peace. We will definitely rebook this Villa towards the end on 2023.

We had a fantastic holiday. The villa had everything we needed and more. The pool was enjoyed by our whole family (our two boys aged 9 and 6 had a great time). The table tennis and mini golf area were also well used. The villa itself was well equipped and we were able to cook and eat in comfort while taking in the beautiful view. The information at the villa about the local area was also much appreciated. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday and would highly recommend this villa.

The house is nestled along a hill and offers incredible views and beautiful silence. The pool was perfect and the extras (table tennis & putting green) kept our child busy. The kitchen was well equipped. In addition the home was close to the beach and other activities. The communication with David and Bill were impeccable. Thank you for providing the ultimate relaxation experience!

As a family of 6 we had a fabulous week in Villa Cortina which sits on an enormous plot inland from the coast. The Villa is a great size with a really large comfortable lounge/dining area and a very well equipped kitchen & utility. There are 2 bedrooms and a large bathroom on the first floor with a master bedroom & en suite on the ground floor. There is a third bathroom with shower also on the ground floor. Everything worked so well - the all important Wi-Fi was excellent and the showers were powerful and hot. We enjoyed watching a bit of the Olympics on the tv which has every channel you can think of. The real beauty of the place is the outside space - ping pong, darts (in the outside bar area) and the putting green were great fun. The pool is deep and large. The BBQ was used every night as we ate under the stars. There are loads of supermarkets nearby and Loulé is a lovely little town to visit. The coastline is a little over-developed in places but there are some beautiful little beaches to be found. A Car is absolutely essential. The villa is away from everything and the perfect place to chill out in the sun.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à la villa Cortina . Tout était parfait. La maison , la piscine , le jardin . Endroit très calme et très bien situé pour visiter l’Algarve. Les petits plus de cette maison la climatisation dans les chambres , les moustiquaires, notre hôte a plein de petites attentions ( serviette de plage, conseil resto,…) très bonne communication et la maison a tout le confort. Nous recommandons à 100%

Nous avons passé une semaine fantastique dans cette magnifique villa de Picota dans un décor enchanteur: le jardin d’arbres fruitiers, la vue sur les montagnes, les multiples terrasses nous ont ravis. Les lits sont très confortables, la cuisine est très bien équipée et nous a permis de cuisiner de .bons petits plats dégustés sur la terrasse de la piscine en admirant la vue champêtre. Les lieux sont d’une propreté impeccable. Le seul hic, c’est la route en colimaçon pour se rendre à la villa située en haut des montagnes mais ce petit désagrément est vite oublié tant la vue est magnifique.😁Carole

Das Haus war wunderschön und auch die Außenanlagen schön, sehr groß und gepflegt. Die Anlage bietet Tischtennis, Darts und Minigolf. Es ist alles da was man braucht. Bill und seine Frau sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereite Menschen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind schnell mit dem Auto erreichbar- ein Mietwagen für die Aufenthaltsdauer ist allerdings zu empfehlen. Falls das Wetter am Haus mal nicht so gut sein sollte, lohnt sich eine Fahrt zu den nächstgelegenen Stränden. Wir konnten es nie glauben, aber dort war strahlend blauer Himmel und keine Wolke.

Loved our stay here, beautiful views and breeze in the hills above the algarve coast. Very peaceful spot and vast plot of land with plentiful seating and dining areas. Close to Loule which has a fab market and some excellent local restaurants. Bathrooms and kitchen were particularly new and modern. Would definitely recommend.

We had a fabulous week at Villa Cortina. The pool was just perfect for the 6 of us and the surrounding grounds of the Villa are huge. Plenty of room for sporting activities including the putting green and table tennis already there. The Villa is really comfortable and provides everything you need for a perfect family holiday. We would definitely recommend Villa Cortina!

Insgesamt eine tolle Location, welche viel Platz bietet. Drei schöne Badezimmer, große Küche, Schlafzimmer alle mit Klimaanlage. Der Pool / Aussenbereich ist riesig und wirklich schön angelegt. Einzige Schwierigkeit war das Finden des Objekts - kein Navigationssystem kann dies mittels der Adresse finden. Mit der vorab gelieferten Wegbeschreibung gehts, ich würde aber dem Vermieter raten, die genauen GPS-Daten der Location mitzuteilen, um die Suche zu vereinfachen. Ohne Mietauto ist man auf verlorenem Posten, da die Villa relativ abgelegen ist. Insgesamt aber sehr empfehlenswert, wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen.

We had a lovely 2 weeks at Villa Cortina. The property was very clean and well equipped. It was lovely having the maid come and change the bedding during our stay. The gardens have many different places to sit and enjoy the view. Communication with the owner was excellent. We would definitely return.

We stayed at the villa for five weeks during summer 2020 and it was a great stay. David was very helpful with the coronavirus travel uncertainty. The villa was spacious with a beautiful garden in a tranquil countryside location - and the kids loved the pool!

We spent two weeks at Villa Cortina and had a very pleasant stay. Everything worked, the location is peaceful and within easy reach of supermarkets and beaches and right in the center of the Algarve so you can easily explore the Eastern and Western Algarve.
