### Villa Minerva - Four Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 8

Villa Minerva is a detached four bedroom villa set in the heart of the Vila Rosal complex in the highly sought after resort of Sao Rafael - famous for its spectacular cove beach and range of shops and eateries. All of these amenities are within walking distance of the villa, giving you the option of walking into the resort instead of driving, should you wish. Further afield but still only a short drive away, you will find the popular resorts of Gale and Albufeira, both offering a little something different from Sao Rafael to give you another different experience of the Algarve.   
  
 Modern furnishings coupled with a spacious layout gives Villa Minerva the edge over many other properties. The open plan lounge/diner benefits from two sets of patio doors, allowing easy access to the pool terrace and doubling up as a means for keeping the room flooded with natural light during the day. The ground floor also features two twin bedrooms, of which one boasts an ensuite bathroom. An additional shower room is also located on the ground floor. On the first floor, you will find two double bedrooms both with ensuite bathrooms and access to the same shared balcony, overlooking the villa's grounds and pool area.   
  
 Outside you will find ample space for relaxing, as well as an area for dining al fresco. This, coupled with the brick built barbecue, gives you the perfect opportunity to rustle up some local Portuguese cuisine while topping up your tan.
