We know that you might be feeling uncertain about booking your next holiday with the ever-changing travel restrictions, which is why we've introduced our Travel Restrictions Guarantee for your peace of mind.
Book your next villa holiday with confidence, safe in the knowledge that you can either move your dates or receive a holiday voucher for the full amount paid if your travel dates are restricted by either FCDO/local government advice advice or local restrictions in your destination country.*
The Travel Restrictions Guarantee is automatically included in the website price and can be removed before you book, however we strongly advise you keep it to give you added flexibility and protection.
You will still need to purchase a comprehensive travel insurance policy as soon as your booking is confirmed. This insurance should, as a minimum, protect you against cancellation, curtailment, medical expenses, loss/theft of possessions and documents, personal liability and airline failure.

Villa Minerva Overview
Villa Minerva is a detached four bedroom villa set in the heart of the Vila Rosal complex in the highly sought after resort of Sao Rafael - famous for its spectacular cove beach and range of shops and eateries. All of these amenities are within walking distance of the villa, giving you the option of walking into the resort instead of driving, should you wish. Further afield but still only a short drive away, you will find the popular resorts of Gale and Albufeira, both offering a little something different from Sao Rafael to give you another different experience of the Algarve.
Modern furnishings coupled with a spacious layout gives Villa Minerva the edge over many other properties. The open plan lounge/diner benefits from two sets of patio doors, allowing easy access to the pool terrace and doubling up as a means for keeping the room flooded with natural light during the day. The ground floor also features two twin bedrooms, of which one boasts an ensuite bathroom. An additional shower room is also located on the ground floor. On the first floor, you will find two double bedrooms both with ensuite bathrooms and access to the same shared balcony, overlooking the villa's grounds and pool area.
Outside you will find ample space for relaxing, as well as an area for dining al fresco. This, coupled with the brick built barbecue, gives you the perfect opportunity to rustle up some local Portuguese cuisine while topping up your tan. Villa Minerva also offers a heated* swimming pool option for those travelling in the cooler months, ideal to just take away the chill from the water and to make your holiday the perfect villa experience.
