As only one of two houses on the street, the villa will ensure families a bit of peace and quiet, yet also has the convenience of being within easy access to the town of Sesimbra itself.

Speaking about the popularity of their rural villas, The Villa Agency's Managing Director Karen Lippitt says, "Our countryside villas tend to be very popular with our families because of the security that we offer. Our fully bonded booking service has attracted many customers, while the fact our villas themselves are quiet and secure, located away from the more vibrant resort towns, has considerable appeal too. The fact that these villas are so accessible to local facilities has also proven to be another bonus among families."

However, it is something about the villas themselves that makes them so attractive to families. Karen adds, "Families like to be surrounded by amazing scenery and housed in traditional villas, especially when fitted with all the household appliances you'll need during a family holiday. We offer all of this alongside a truly flexible service - we can arrange flights car hire and any extras on your behalf, for instance."
