Description
Relax & Spa, where sun, palm trees, and pure relaxation meet. Welcome to Villa Lena, your sunny retreat in the Algarve.
The detached villa offers 200 m² of living space, a 1,200 m² fully fenced and secluded garden, a 10 x 5 m private saltwater pool, as well as an infrared cabin that can be used during the cooler months from December to May. The spacious garden is especially sunny and at the same time sheltered from the wind, ideal conditions for relaxing vacation days outdoors. The villa is located on the Algarve in Vale da Telha, in the midst of a spacious development with detached houses and villas, near Aljezur and the beaches of Monte Clérigo, Arrifana, and Amoreira.
The house has the official permits required for rental - 'Alojamento Local' - and meets the associated quality standards. The spacious living room with its beautiful fireplace is directly connected to the kitchen and forms a cozy centerpiece of the villa.
For your entertainment, there is a 42-inch flat-screen TV with satellite receiver, radio, and Wi-Fi available. All rooms have air conditioning, dehumidification, and heating systems.
The kitchen is very well equipped and features:
fridge-freezer combination, gas stove with oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster
The dining area is directly adjacent to the kitchen. Through the large glass surfaces you can enjoy a wonderful view of the pool and the garden from here.
Even on slightly cooler days, this bright area is a pleasant place to enjoy the warm sun rays sheltered from the wind.
The villa has three spacious bedrooms, each equipped with roomy built-in wardrobes. 2 bedrooms with double bed 2 x 2 m
1 bedroom with double bed 1.60 x 2 m
Each bedroom has direct access to the pool and garden area
All windows and doors are equipped with fly screens
Due to the construction, the house is divided into two areas: to the right of the entrance are two bedrooms with their own bathroom, and next to the living room is another bedroom with a separate bathroom. This way, families or friends can enjoy even more privacy. Both bathrooms are equipped with a shower, toilet, washbasin, and bidet. An additional electric heater provides pleasant warmth when needed.
The large palm trees, Mediterranean plants, and lovingly designed wooden walkways give the beautifully landscaped garden with pool a special Mediterranean holiday feeling. The sunny and at the same time wind-protected garden invites you to spend the whole day outdoors. Due to the tall and dense hedges, the entire property cannot be seen from the street – so you can enjoy plenty of peace and privacy and feel completely undisturbed while sunbathing, even, if you wish, like Adam and Eve.
The more than 60 sqm covered outdoor sun deck with chill lounge furniture is the ideal place to relax. Here everyone can find a spot in the sun or shade. Whether it's just to enjoy a cozy cappuccino or cocktail. In the wellness house you have another shady spot to relax and listen to the sound of the palm trees. Or you can enjoy the morning sun with a coffee. The infrared cabin offers space for 4 people. It cannot be used in summer. However, in winter you can relax wonderfully after a hike or simply enjoy the pleasantly healthy warmth.
Right next to the wooden deck there is a stone table seating area with a wood-fired oven and grill. Not to be forgotten is the terrace next to the dining room with a large dining table and 6 chairs; another table with 8 chairs is located on the terrace next to the wellness house. The icing on the cake in the garden are the two lounge chairs and the beautiful round table under the palm trees.
Thanks to the variety of seating and lounging options, everyone can find a place to retreat to.
The villa uses solar energy both for electricity supply and for hot water production. In the kitchen, a water filter for drinking water is also available for your use. This allows you to avoid buying plastic water bottles and at the same time make a small contribution to protecting the environment.
Guests appreciate the loving details, the private atmosphere, and the quiet location – just a few minutes from the beach and restaurants. The perfect holiday paradise for a hiking, relaxing, or romantic vacation for two, or with family and friends.

Location and surroundings of object
The small town of Aljezur with its old town, fortress and shopping facilities is only 10 km away. If you want to stroll comfortably, you are in good hands in the beautiful city of Lagos (approx. 30 km). The mountain landscape 'Serra do Monchique' is suitable for hikes
On their way from Faro or Lisbon to the plateau of 'Vale da Telha' they pass through small woods of fig trees, cork oaks, eucalyptus and pines
A beautiful, quiet lake with freshwater fish and various bird species can be reached in a few minutes. The coast has been designated a nature reserve and will remain unchanged. There is no air pollution or industry far and wide, only wonderful clean Atlantic air
The great sandy beaches 'Praia de Arrifana', 'Praia de Monte Clérigo' and 'Praia de Amoreira' are quite easy to reach by car. The west coast of the Algarve is ideal if you are looking for peace and seclusion. With its steep cliff formations of up to 100 metres, it is uniquely beautiful. Bays with wonderful sandy beaches offer everything a holidaymaker's heart desires
Especially the beach 'Praia da Amoreira' with a shallow lagoon reaching far into the country, calm crystal clear water and an extensive dune landscape offers bathing fun for young and old.
Other beautiful beaches like 'Praia da Bordeira' and 'Praia do Amado' can be reached in about 20 minutes by car.
It is a good idea to hire bicycles from local organisations to explore the beautiful countryside and nature in this way.
On the steep coast of Vale da Telha, the long-distance hiking trail "Rota Vicentina" leads along a network of hiking trails in the southwest of Portugal. Those who would like to hike are in good hands here.

Villa Lena*****
We had a great stay at Villa Lena. The decor is modern, stylish, and cozy at the same time. We were particularly impressed by the lovingly designed and spacious outdoor area - a real highlight with plenty of space to relax. The large pool was simply dreamy and was extensively used by us. Everything was very well maintained and designed with great attention to detail. We felt completely comfortable and can wholeheartedly recommend the house.
Answer from Mrs. D. Binder:

A small paradise – perfect for a relaxing break.
This holiday home was the perfect place for us to escape everyday life. The landlady is warm, attentive, and hospitable – from the first contact to our departure, we felt well taken care of.
The house itself is in very clean condition and offers everything one needs for a relaxing stay. The rooms are well laid out and beautifully furnished – you can feel that it was decorated with love for detail. The absolute highlight is the outdoor area: a large pool, numerous lounging areas, a great barbecue spot, and plenty of space to enjoy – whether with family, friends, or simply to unwind. For us, it was truly a place to feel good and recharge.
From here, we were able to take numerous day trips with our rental car and were at all desired locations in the Algarve in a maximum of 1.5 hours.
We would book this house again at any time – it was a completely successful stay!
Answer from Mrs. D. Binder:
Hallo André, herzlichen Dank für die wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie mit Ihrer Familie und einem Freund einen rundum gelungenen Urlaub bei uns verbringen konnten und sich in unserem Ferienhaus so wohlgefühlt haben. Ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön auch dafür, dass sie das Haus so sauber und ordentlich hinterlassen haben - das wissen wir wirklich sehr zu schätzen. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, Sie jeder Zeit wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen. Herzliche Grüße Doris

Dreamy accommodation, everything has been thought of here!
Dear Binder family,
we felt very, very comfortable in the Villa Lena during the week. The house is so well maintained with attention to detail. The garden with the pool and the many great seating options is truly dreamy. It is so great that they even provide pool and beach towels, as well as umbrellas and a cooler, so you can leave all that nice at home and don’t have to buy anything on site. Nothing is really missing. The rooms are very large, my daughter Lena found the room with the dressing table perfect for her :) They have created a very great feel-good oasis that can be recommended 100 percent.
Since we know Aljezur, we know that you need a car to, for example, drive to the various beautiful beaches in the area. Also for any shopping. However, a small supermarket and restaurants can be reached on foot. Thank you very much for allowing us to spend a week at Villa Lena :) we wish you all the best and continued nice guests ;)

Answer from Mrs. D. Binder:
Liebe Doris,
was für ein besonderer Zufall, dass wir nicht nur den selben Vornamen teilen, sondern auch Ihre Tochter den selben Namen wie unser Haus trägt, das hat uns besonders gefreut.
Vielen Dank für Ihre lieben Worte und dafür, dass Sie Ihren Aufenthalt so genossen haben. Es ist schön zu hören, dass die kleinen Extras Ihren Urlaub noch angenehmer gemacht haben. Wir wünschen Ihnen ebenfalls alles Gute und hoffen Sie eines Tages wieder bei uns in der Villa Lena begrüßen zu dürfen - immer mit Sonnenschein, dem Palmengarten und ganz vielen schönen Momenten. Herzliche Grüße Doris & Michael

Heaven!
Warm, kind, generous and attentive hosts. Beautiful property in a perfect location for daily jaunts to the greatest 3 beaches in Portugal. Arrifana, Monte Clerigo and Amoreira. Close to wonderful, casual restaurants and a market with an atm.
The house itself is just lovely. The pool and the sauna ahhh. Don’t hesitate to book. Doris and Michael really go out of their way to make it special for you. Am very grateful to them for a wonderful stay and can’t wait to return. Excellent and strong WiFi and AC. Comfy beds. Really, nothing is lacking.

Top holiday home, nice landlords
We were thrilled from start to finish with the wonderful house and the nice, easy-going, and helpful landlords, Doris and Michael. The finca with three bedrooms, a large kitchen, a spacious living room, and a beautiful garden with a pool is very well-maintained and clean. It offers everything the heart desires and is an oasis of peace. The nearby beaches are very quickly accessible. However, a car is advisable. The equipment was more than sufficient and, above all, of high quality.
The contact with the landlords was very warm and uncomplicated. They were available to us at any time for questions and gave us good tips in the area.
We would love to come back!

We live in the greater Munich area, are professionally very busy and often wish us some time out. That's why we decided to have a fixed place for our holidays - Villa Lena. Purchased in 2015 Why accommodation in Vale da Telha? -- In the past I was allowed to spend my holidays in this property, and at that time I had already taken the house into my heart. I was all the happier when I got the chance to buy it. It is nice to call it my own now, and that I can offer it to my guests as well. A really dreamlike villa in a really dreamlike area.
