Fortaleza sea view Villa Miramar - two-bed apartment with private pool

## Space

With amazing views over the typical Algarvian cliffs and the ocean, Villa Miramar offers an oasis of peace just between Burgau and Salema in the south of the Algarve. Last year, the complete property was renovated and split up into three brand new private apartments. All spaces are comfortably and beautifully furnished to the highest standard with modern equipment.

This specific apartment offers a private two-bedroom accommodation. Both bedrooms have two single beds that can be pushed together. One has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet and the second bathroom is located near the other bedroom. The fully equipped kitchen and lounge area are connected to a large balcony that provides access to the terrace with private pool. You can relax here with your family and enjoy the breathtaking view over the ocean.

The apartment is all yours during your stay. You share the main entrance and the parking area.

## Neighborhood

Burgau and Salema are quiet fishing villages situated between Lagos and Sagres. Sheltered from the wind by the cliffs on a small cove is the lovely Praia do Burgau. It is an excellent base for a relaxing beach holiday or to explore the beautiful Western Algarve. It has some amazing restaurants and bars facing the sea, and there are several other beautiful beaches in the area to explore. So if your idea of the perfect holiday is to relax in the sun and swim in the sea, this village will provide everything your heart desires.

Three golf courses are within 15 minutes drive, as are many of the Algarve's best surfing beaches. Only 8 kilometres from the historic town of Lagos with its lively nightlife, bustling yacht marina and a huge variety of shops, cafes and restaurants. Other things to do in the area include surfing, fishing, diving, golf, tennis and hiking.

Modern apartment with great views

The apartment had certainly been renovated recently. Rooms are large and bright and the sea view is amazing. Everything is very clean and in good condition. The kitchen provided all the utensils we needed. The beds are very comfortable and can be used as double or single beds. Wifi worked good. Best thing is the really large and private pool. :-) Quiet neighborhood and good beaches not far away, but a car is mandatory. We had a pleasant stay in this property and can highly recommend it to both individual travelers and families.

Super schönes Haus mit unglaublichen Blicken auf dem Meer und auf den naheliegender Hügel. Man kann das Surf vom Schlafzimmer hören!Der Pool war auch perfekt bei heißen Tagen— und eben wenn es kuhl war, hat der Pool für eine gute Atmosphäre funktioniert.Das Apartment ist sehr groß… beide Badezimmer sehr hochwertig und beide Schlafzimmer interessant gemöbelt.Die Küche war gut ausgestattet. Wir haben selbst ein Paar fehlende Dinge gekauft (spatula, Tücher, Schneidebrett, Kaffetassen), aber das war OK. Geschirr war sehr gut, aber Kaffee Tassen und Gläser waren sehr alt und renovierungsbedürftig. Der Sonnenschirm auf der Terrasse war schön und ein „muß“, aber es hat in den letzten Tagen wegen eines Rißes gefehlt. Niemand ist vorbeigekommen (in den letzten 4 Tage) um uns dabei zu helfen.

Sehr schöne, sehr geräumige Wohnung mit eigenem Pool

Es war eine sehr schöne Zeit in Portugal. Die Wohnung war riesig und komplett ausgestattet. Erwähnen muss man auch die große Kühl-Gefrierkombi!Ein kleiner Wehmutstropfen: Es war sehr windig während unseres Aufenthalts und dadurch hätte der Pool etwas mehr "Housekeeping" vertragen können (viele hineingewehte Blüten, Blätter, etc.).

Excellent stay

Our family (2 adults and 2 young children) had a wonderful stay. Clean and recently renovated (modern) unit which was much larger than we expected. Great views, pool was wonderful and everything was very comfortable. Arrival and departure were easy. Great location close to many beautiful beaches.
