Villa Corcovado is set in a more rural part of Boliqueime. It’s an ideal retreat for a large family or group of friends, looking for a more laidback setting.

As you enter the villa, there is a staircase immediately on your left taking you to the first floor. Here you will find an airy bedroom with a double bed and another, more spacious, bedroom with two double beds. Both bedrooms share a vast veranda that would be fit for any King and his Queen. A large beige tiled bathroom, with a blue floral trim, can be found down the corridor. Down the stairs, the other two bedrooms can be found. An en-suite double bedroom with a bathtub and a twin bedroom, with access to a bathroom down the corridor, are located.

The centrepiece of the ground floor is the living area. It is incredibly cosy and has a beautifully constructed interior brick ceiling. Two of the sofas extend into beds, making it an ideal setting for a late movie night, or for two further guests. To either side of the living area you can find a dining area with seating for six, or if you are in need a liquid meal you can have a seat by the wood polished bar. Down a further flight of stairs, a games room is settled in the basement, where you can practice your trick shots on a pool table.

Toward the rear of the villa a roomy marble countertop kitchen is found and by using the sliding doors, the outside barbeque and multiple seating and dining areas are unearthed. The garden and swimming pool are well sized, allowing more than enough space for the kids to have a good time.
