Luxurious and Charming West Algarve Villa with Pool
"The Anglo-Portuguese ambiance exudes from this carefully decorated family home with outstanding gardens and exterior spaces. " - Reviewed by Lisa
A little slice of old-world Portugal in the unspoiled Western Algarve. The ideal home away from home for those who appreciate comfort, attention to detail, fine living, and the commitment to relaxation.
The immaculate house and its impeccable gardens are clearly a labor of love for the owners who live nearby and welcome guests with open arms. Stories of planting magnificent gardens over the years, a history of every work of art, and a story behind each piece of furniture are what make this an enchanting retreat ideal for family reunions, get together and special occasions.
Set in 2.5 acres of complete privacy there are gardens, patios, and terraces to lose yourself in or to be enjoyed with the group for al fresco dinner under the stars or long, lingering mid-day lunches. A large pool for family fun and plenty of shady trees for reading and relaxing.
A welcoming home with an emphasis on comfort and charm is decorated with tantalizing pieces from around the world; a home that tells stories and beckons the guest to enjoy and slow down.
A bi-level living-dining room opens to covered patios and makes a wonderful space for entertaining both indoors and out.
