About Villa Joia

Villa Joia is a luxurious and detached house in the eastern part of the Algarve, ten minutes from Tavira. Just 5 minutes from the beach and with a private pool, and lots of outdoor spaces to enjoy and relax, you can spend a wonderful time with a group of friends or family all year round. We can host stunning weddings and events here, maximum 60 persons on the wedding or event day.

The mansion has two floors and there are a total of 10 bedrooms, all with their own (heated) bathroom en-suite. All rooms have air conditioning and heating. The bedrooms all have a ceiling fan in the house. An 11th bedroom with its own bathroom is located in the annex by the pool, which has air conditioning/heating too and three sofa beds.

Villa Joia has a beautiful view over the coastline of the Algarve. This is even better to admire from the roof terrace near the pool. The outdoor space here has everything that you would want! Around the pool is everything you need to relax and the luxurious outdoor bar makes it all the more enjoyable. Plenty of seating areas, huge lawned area, and sports field - great for Yoga and football and other outdoor activities. The pool is always heated to a minimum of 20 degrees, so this is a perfect villa for winter rentals. The pool can be heated up to 25 degrees for an additional charge of £300 per week. So for every season this is the place to be.

With a total of 3.5 hectares of protected area, the mansion is situated between a lemon orchard with no less than 1,200 lemon trees, palm trees, (sub)tropical fruit trees and plants. The fruit and vegetables can be picked and eaten throughout the year according to need. The garden around the house offers lovely shady spots and for various sports activities there is a large sports field, including sports equipment, of 35x70m. There is a football table here for extra entertainment. There is a toilet close to the pool, and an outdoor shower.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need and more, and boasts a 5-burner induction cooker, 2 electric ovens, water oven, water filter, microwave, 2 dishwashers, 2 refrigerators, a Nespresso machine and filter coffee maker.

But the most special part (our favourite) is the authentic courtyard with old olive trees. A BBQ and Pizza oven complete the outdoor life, and events/weddings have a beautiful traditional Portuguese and calm, tranquil feeling here.

The environment around the villa is beautiful and versatile. Surrounded by picturesque villages, untouched nature reserves, golf courses and of course close to the beautiful white beaches, there is something for everyone.

Tavira is only 10 minutes away and Santa Luzia the fishing village (famous for its octopus dishes) even closer.

We provide some basics in the villa for you in our basic welcome pack!

Please note: There is a refundable security deposit on this villa payable before travel, of £1000.

Praia do Barril is a five minute drive away and is a very nice and wide beach with nice restaurants. There is parking at the beach and from there you can walk to the beach or take the diesel train. Either way you can fully enjoy the beautiful wetland that continuously changes by the tide. There is security on the beach and the rental of parasols.

Santa Luzia is a friendly and picturesque small fishing village and still quite an undiscovered part of the Algarve. It is known as the Portuguese capital of the octopus, which can be found in different ways on the menu of the many restaurants that Santa Luzia has to offer! Here is a 12km long sandy beach. From the port of Santa Luzia daily fishing boats leave for the sea. You have a magnificent view of this port and the boats.

Tavira is about 20 km from the Spanish border, just 10 minutes from the house. It is a nice old town at the mouth of the river Gilao and in the middle of the salt pans of Ria Formosa. The centre is attractive and lively in all seasons and has good restaurants, terraces, bars and shops. Tavira is still one of the few places where, despite tourism, the Portuguese character has really been preserved. The old city walls, botanical garden, the Roman bridge Ponte Romana and the many churches (38!) are also worth a visit.

‘Parque Natural da Ria Formosa’ is close by and covers an area of 18,000 ha and is of great importance for migratory birds. It is an internationally recognised wetland.

Very clean and spacious apartment with a large furnished private balcony.

A 5 minute walk downhill to the Old Town centre and the beach. - John, October 2022

We’ll be back!! The villa was super sensational, quiet surroundings but still easily accessible to everything (bus 2 minutes away), beach nearby, shops and restaurants around the corner, we had everything we needed in the villa(iron, toaster, kettle). The fence could be more opaque, but it didn’t bother us. - Selma, September 2024

Walking distance to gym, pizza place, little supermarket
Beautiful outdoor space and very spacious throughout and fabulous bbq/pool area
Highly recommendable - Steve, October 2020
