Villa Octopus's Garden by ACasaDasCasas

Located in Mafra, this welcoming villa brings it all within your reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 2-minute drive to Praia da Ribeira d'Ilhas or the 4-minute drive to Sao Lourenco Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime). Relax in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 2013-sq-ft villa, which also offers a BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV. As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a sofa bed and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washing machine, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
