Palatial Albufeira Villa near sandy beach with private pool
"The architecture, grounds and furnishings create a feel of times gone by, but with modern-day comfort and amenities." - Reviewed by Lisa
A fairytale-like home sitting in a beautiful garden with lots of big shady trees, a magnificent lawn and a sparkly swimming pool.
This romantic villa with its striking hues and views, elaborate stone and ironwork located on the top of a cliff is an ideal getaway for families and friends wanting to be in the center of the action but far from the noise and crowds. From here, it’s difficult to believe that the hustle and bustle of Albufeira is moments from your doorstep.
The tranquility of the location is reminiscent of another era, a time when days were longer, and holidays lasted forever. Immerse yourself in an extremely spacious three floors of bright light living spaces and oversized bedroom suites.
Outdoor living is exemplary with a covered dining area complete with BBQ and plenty of poolside patios, a jacuzzi and lawns to host events with up to 70 guests.
An oversized living/dining room opens to the gardens creating perfect indoor/ outdoor living spaces. A completely remodeled (2020) kitchen means mealtimes will be a pleasure, not to mention a room service menu available from the nearby hotel.
