Alba Villa T3

The space

Alba Villa stands on the hillside above Praia da Arrifana, ten minutes on foot from the sand and a short walk from the village’s restaurants. Fully refurbished, quietly luxurious and built for families who want space without giving up comfort.

Three bedrooms on the ground floor, each with its own ensuite bathroom — two kings and a queen — open onto the living space. The kitchen is fully equipped and open to a bright living room; a long dining table seats the whole group indoors when the wind gets up.

Outside
The garden was rebuilt in 2026 and it is now the heart of the house. A sunken stone terrace, ringed by a dry-stone wall and shaded by sails, holds a dining table for six and a separate lounge seating group. An outdoor counter with running water — hot as well as cold — makes it a place you can genuinely cook and clear up, not just carry plates to, and there is a barbecue for grilling whatever came out of the fish market that morning. When the sun goes down the festoon lights come on and the terrace becomes the best room in the villa. A cobbled path climbs to the upper deck, where the wood-fired hot tub sits with sun loungers beside it, looking out over the pines toward the ocean. Wood is provided. After a day of surf at Arrifana, it is exactly where you want to end up. There is also a north-west facing terrace off the house for morning coffee, and a south- east facing garden that catches the sun all afternoon.

The setting
A ten-minute walk brings you to Praia da Arrifana — along a private path to the cliff edge, or gently down the road. Five good restaurants are within walking distance. Beyond Arrifana lie Monte Clérigo and Amoreira, the Fishermen’s Trail along the cliffs, and some of the most consistent surf in Europe. Aljezur is fifteen minutes by car, Lagos under an hour, Faro airport around two hours.
