Casa Waterlily - Sea View

The space

Casa Waterlily is a two-storey villa with 123m² of living space in Porches, on the Algarve's central coast.

On the ground floor, a hallway leads past a laundry closet with washing machine and dryer to the first bathroom, with shower and toilet. Opposite is a bedroom with two single beds. Further along the hallway, a second bedroom has a double bed, a desk area, its own ensuite shower room, and access to a south-east facing patio. Next to it, the main bedroom has a kingsize bed, its own ensuite bathroom with shower and toilet, and access to the same patio. All three bedrooms have their own air conditioning.

Upstairs, an open living and kitchen area leads onto a south-east facing balcony with a built-in BBQ and sea views. The living room has a fireplace and air conditioning, and the kitchen is fully equipped.

Step out onto the balcony in the evening and the sea is right there waiting for you.

➤ Access to the communal tennis courts and pools is available for an additional fee, payable on site.

The neighborhood

Porches sits on a stretch of dramatic coastline in the Lagoa municipality, in the central Algarve. The white chapel of Nossa Senhora da Rocha stands on the cliffs directly above the beach of the same name, a short walk from the property, with golden sand, clear water, and a small beach bar. A tunnel through the rocks connects it to the neighbouring Praia Nova, so there is more coastline to explore than the cove alone suggests.

Carvoeiro, with a wider choice of restaurants, shops, and a lively marina, is a short drive away. Lagoa, the nearest larger town with supermarkets, is also reachable by car.

Getting around

A car is recommended for this location. Faro Airport is around 35 minutes by car (approx. 52km). Carvoeiro is around 10 to 15 minutes by car, and Lagoa, the nearest larger town with supermarkets, is around 10 minutes. Public transport in Porches is limited, with infrequent local buses connecting to Lagoa and Albufeira.
