About this property

Vila Dria: modern luxury in the best part of the Algarve

Vila Dria is located on a hill surrounded by orange groves near the Portuguese town of Silves. The house, dating from the 1990s, was completely renovated in 2017 and now shines in new splendor. Two separate buildings, one of them L-shaped, frame the terrace with pool on three sides. The white of the outer facades is also found inside. Large windows, high ceilings, connected rooms and the minimalist furnishing in an elegant and timeless design create an airy and light ambiance. The spacious house offers space for up to ten people. There is a living, dining and cooking area, as well as two suites and three double bedrooms each with a private bathroom. When the weather is fine, the terrace becomes the second living room with large pool, outdoor kitchen, dining area and lounge corner. Here you could spend the whole day: dreaming in the deck chair, cooling in the pool, cooking under the open sky, enjoying sunsets and starry sky. The house offers plenty of space for common activities as well as sufficient room for privacy, which makes it perfect for a family holiday (also for 2 families). The view extends far over the hilly landscape and is particularly beautiful at sunset. Silves with its old town, historical castle and 12th-century cathedral, shops and restaurants, is only 7 minutes away. Portugal's best golf course (Amendoeira, 2016), and some of the Algarve's most beautiful beaches are also within easy reach. Hikers will enjoy an excursion to the spa resort Monchique and Foia: located at 905 meters it is the highest point of the Algarve, and offers spectacular views of the region.

Exceeded our expectations

Beautiful home, the pictures don’t do it justice. There were 7 of us, so each couple had their own ensuite room, perfect! It is a bit out of the way, but still with 30 min of everything. Highly recommended.

Amazing holidays

Vila Dria is amazing. Everything what you need is in. We had wonderful time in jacuzzi and swimming pool. It was holidays and from kids too, they're to busy in swimming pool. Fresh oranges from the garden every morning. The view is like in fairytale. 100% I would like to back.

Winter Break in der Sonne

Wir haben 4+1 Wochen in der Vila Dria verbracht und konnten uns nur schweren Herzens wieder trennen. Es war alles perfekt und wie beschrieben, und auch das Wetter im November und Dezember spielte mit. Die Kommunikation mit unserem Host war sehr freundlich und entgegenkommend. Eine klare Empfehlung, speziell auch für längere Aufenthalte.

Idéal pour se reposer

L’endroit est isolé et calme. La vue est magnifique. Nous avons profité en famille de cette jolie villa qui permet à chacun d’avoir son indépendance (5 chambres 5 salles de bain 6 toilettes). Nous recommandons.

Great family holiday!

Excellent villa, so beautifully designed and well equipped. Had everything we needed for children aged from 6 weeks to 12 years, including travel cots, high chairs, changing mat, children’s plates and cutlery. Lovely pool, which was a perfect temperature and cleaned regularly throughout our stay. Great design, both inside and out divided into lovely seating and eating areas but all feels linked so that we felt like we were together even if off playing with the kids in a different area. And some wonderful views of amazing sunsets! Also excellent communication from the owners in advance of our stay, all queries responded to quickly and excellent details for arrival etc. Would highly recommend!

A absolute gem

This house is everything it says and so much more. I want to live in that house. It was so clean, the view was amazing. The information binder has all the information that you need and more. Location is great to so many beaches and different little towns. I would stay a million times over. Communication is top notch there is nothing they haven’t thought of. Stay there if you can!

Great Place

It's an amazing house in a very scenic location. The house and pool area are fantastic and were a hit with our extended family. Less than 30 minutes drive to the beach, and the town of Silves is great.

Luxusvilla - absolut zu empfehlen

Eine wunderschöne Villa, sehr modern und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir waren dort mit 10 Erwachsenen. Jeder hatte sein eigenes Doppelzimmer mit eigenem Bad, alle Zimmer sehr schön eingerichtet und super sauber. Die Küche ist sehr gross und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht, um ausgiebig kochen zu können. Auch für so viele Personen. Wir hätten uns nur eine Kaffeemaschine gewünscht, die Maschine mit den Kapseln ist für die große Menge an Kaffee bei so vielen Personen nicht so geeignet. Alle sonstigen Geräte funktionieren sehr gut. Was super praktisch und toll war, sind die drei Kühlschränke, unter anderem auch einer im Außenbereich. Und der Ice Crusher, so lässt sich ein Pool Tag mit kühlen Getränken doch ausgiebig genießen :-) Die Outdoorküche, die Terasse mit der tollen elektrischen Beschattung und der Loungebereich waren ebenfalls super. Der Gasgrill lädt zum grillen ein. Sehr schöner und gepflegter Outdoor- und Gartenbereich mit einem fantastischen Ausblick und tollen Sonnenuntergängen. Verbessert werden sollte ggf. die Zufahrt zur Villa, diese ist sehr schlecht ausgebaut, hier wühlt man sich durch einige tiefe Schlaglöcher. Alles in allem eine wunderschöne Villa, absolut zu empfehlen!!!!

Alles perfekt!

Tolle Villa, sehr schöne, geschmackvolle Einrichtung. Alles lichtdurchflutet und hell. Küche sehr gross, super eingerichtet und alles sehr sauber. Alle Geräte funktionieren sehr gut, wir haben nichts vermisst. Mehrere Kühlschränke, perfekt auch für eine grössere Anzahl Gäste (8-10). Haupt-Bad gross, ebenfalls sehr sauber mit ausgezeichnet funktionierenden Dusch- und Wasserhähnen (nicht selbstverständlich in einem südlichen Land). Überall genügend Abstell- und Verstaufläche. Outdoorküche/Terasse/Loungebereich ebenfalls super, gut funktionierender Gasgrill, ebenfalls mit Kühlschrank. Sehr schöner Pool und diverse und bequeme Liegestühle usw. Sehr schöner und gepflegter Outdoor- und Gartenbereich. Sehr ruhige Lage, fantastische Sonnenuntergänge. Gute Information der Villaverwalterin und tolles, reichhaltiges Welcome-Pack, da wir erst abends angekommen sind. Alles in allem eine wunderschöne Villa, für uns eine 7*-Location.
