CLEAN & SAFE: In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19), Algarve Vacation and our respective cleaning services have introduced new procedures. Being fully aware of the present situation additional safety & sanitation measures have been implemented in effect at this property. Villa Valentina is a spacious holiday home, located amongst the hills near Almancil (between Almancil and Sta Barbara de Nexe) and is ideal for families who want to relax away from the crowded tourist centres, while still being a short drive away from all amenities. With space and facilities for the whole family, this is the perfect spot for a getaway in the Portuguese sun. The villa has a first floor with one double bedroom (with an en-suite bathroom) and a large terrace, and a lower level with one bedroom with 2 single beds and 2 bathrooms. The lower level also has a new games room with a snooker table and table football for friendly family matches. The ground floor of the property has 3 bedrooms: one with a double bed, one with 2 single beds (that can be made into a double bed – with an en-suite bathroom) and one with a double bed and 2 single beds. The ground floor also has an additional bathroom and a fully fitted kitchen with a hob, oven, toaster, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, coffee maker, dishes and utensils, cooking utensils and washing machine. Free wi-fi is provided, as well as air-conditioning (cooling and heating) in all bedrooms. Three spacious terraces with outdoor lounging and dining areas spill out onto the tranquil garden with a large and inviting swimming pool (heatable as an optional extra). There are plenty of sun loungers to relax in the sun, a grassy area for playing and a ping-pong table for matches in between dips in the pool. A barbeque allows for outdoor meals to be cooked and enjoyed al fresco. Villa Valentina is located just a 5-minute drive away from Almancil town, as well as from the Mar Shopping centre (with a vast selection of shops, restaurants and a supermarket) and Laranjal Golf course.
