Algarve Villa with Fab Views and Immaculate Attention to Detail
"From your fabulous perch, feel the spray in your face, see the footprints in the sand below and hear the Atlantic gently crashing on the shore!” - Reviewed by Lisa
Stunning views and immaculate attention to detail do not begin to describe this fantastic home with the primo position on Praia Salema. In fact, Salema Beach literally starts at this home that sits in a prime location to take in the views of the blue and white traditional fishermen’s village and the golden sand beach below.
This stunning contemporary home is reached from the oceanfront up a private drive with a secure automatic gate or can be accessed from the street. Privacy and entitlement are all yours as you soak up the unique location.
This Algarve villa provides 4 floors of remarkable, soft, contemporary architecture. Lines and curves are blurred with glass, polished chrome, and abstract sculptures coupled with the local grey and red rock. No design detail nor amenity – inside or out – has been forgotten. Gardens, pool and terraces all blend perfectly with exceptionally crafted interior woodwork, furnishings and technology.
