About this property

A touch of Provence in the Algarve - exclusive rustic villa on large property

QUINTA DAS ÁRVORES (Farm of Trees)

A tree-lined driveway leads you to the top of a hill where this beautiful rustic home is located on the outskirts of picturesque Carvoeiro. A very large property with ancient olive trees in spectacular landscaped gardens, Quinta das Árvores is a tranquil and private oasis where up to 9 guests can truly relax and unwind; enjoying all that the Algarve has to offer.

The light-filled 3 bedroom villa with 2 recently renovated bathrooms, sleeps 5 and can be rented with or without the additional 2 bedroom cottage to accommodate up to 4 more people (please enquire for differing prices).

A stone entrance leads you into the bright and spacious open-concept kitchen and dining/living areas. This beautiful space with high ceilings and arched doors affords direct access to the covered patios, garden, swimming pool and barbeque area.

There are three attractively equipped bedrooms with built-in wardrobes in the main house which can be closed off from the living area. The master bedroom has a super-comfortable king size bed and a newly renovated bathroom with elegant clawfoot bath and a stunning Moroccan walk-in double shower. The second bedroom has a double bed and the third bedroom has a single bed (these two rooms share a newly renovated modern bathroom with large walk-in shower). The main house is all on one level.

A few steps down from the beautiful covered terrace is a guest wing/cottage with two separate, spacious en suite bedrooms opening out onto the stunning terraces and pool area. These rooms also have built-in wardrobes.

Luxurious bedding and towels offer a high quality and comfortable hotel experience throughout.

Two indoor lounge areas are equipped with comfortable seating to admire the views or relax with a book. An additional TV/family room (with large screen satellite TV) also opens out onto the courtyard and garden beyond through double arched doors.

A large open concept kitchen with ample bench space, storage areas and high quality appliances allows guests to prepare and cook meals whilst enjoying the scenery.

Guests have several choices for enjoying dining and relaxing....the covered terrace area has both comfortable lounge seating and a large round dining table area which overlook the pool and gardens. Directly out from the kitchen/family area is an extendable outdoor table with chairs beneath a patio which filters the sunshine. There is a smaller table with 4 chairs in the courtyard which has shade most of the day and a beautiful sunset view.

Laundry with washing machine, dryer, outdoor clothes line and ironing facilities are available for guest use.

Around the villa and garden there are many superb areas to stroll and relax in the shade or sunshine. The beautifully landscaped gardens have been featured in several magazines and offer a creative mix between manicured and natural areas for guests to enjoy. There are rural and mountain views from various locations on the property.

For the warm weather the main villa is equipped with air conditioning. For the cooler months the entire villa and cottage is equipped with under floor heating and a wood fireplace in the main villa. The property is fully fenced with electric gates and security system. The swimming pool is salt water and has a pool cover.

The pool with diving board, children’s playground, grass football/badminton pitch, table tennis, tree house, cubby house, Pétanque/Boules pitch and wonderful meandering paths throughout the landscaped garden on different levels will be sure to keep everyone occupied!

Babysitters available on request.

The villa offers elegant comfort, tastefully decorated with fine furnishings, original artwork and uplifting colours to create the perfect ambience for your holiday. The most discerning guests will be able to enjoy the luxury and amenities of this beautifully appointed home.

Lovely location, spacious, gorgeous outdoor spaces
We loved the location and outdoor spaces of this home. Check-in and out were so easy. The home was well-appointed and we had a great time. There were plenty of bedrooms and baths. The rooms in the guest house were a little musty but not too bad when we opened the windows.

Nice secluded house in the Algarve
We very much enjoyed our stay in this house. We were 1 adult couple and 2 adult singles. We wound up using one of the guest suites in the villa so everyone had their own bathroom, but the property is quite large and the house well appointed. Our only issue was the a/c units were set to environmental mode when we arrived so they continued to shut off after two hours of no movement, but we contacted Diane and she quickly/remotely fixed that. The rest of the stay was very enjoyable. You will need a car to get about but its only a short drive to groceries/restaurants, etc...

Wedding Week
We absolutely loved our stay where the family was all together for a wedding celebration. The BBQ and outdoor area was perfect for family gatherings and the pool was great fun all day! The house is clean and beautiful and is so well stocked with everything you need. The only slight criticisms was the cottage/outhouse rooms are a little dated in comparison to the main house and the BBQ area was quite dirty on arrival, but it did not detract from an excellent stay.

About the host

Hosted by Diane

Host profile image
We are an Australian family currently living in Europe who has lived and worked in various countries around the world (including Portugal). We have spent many holidays in The Algarve and it has been our dream to own our own home in this beautiful part of the world. In 2017, that dream became a reality with our purchase of this amazing property!

Why they chose this property

Being at Quinta das Árvores brings tranquility. The exquisite rustic styled villa and spectacular gardens allow total relaxation and time to enjoy life.

Its proximity to the village of Carvoeiro and the nearby multiple beaches whilst also set in a rural location offers the best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

The subtle mix of Portuguese and Provençal architecture and the amazing gardens make this property unique. The large grounds offer privacy and peacefulness whilst still being close to all the action!
