Portugal’s famous southern coastline, the Algarve, covers an area of 4,997 km and is hugely popular with both tourists and residents, whether lucky locals or expats in search of year-round splendour. It’s easy to understand the appeal: pristine beaches, glorious climate, fascinating culture, lip-smacking cuisine and, importantly, affordable living. Would you like some of that for you and your family?
This impressive villa perches on the cliffs to provide tranquility with endlessly alluring sea views. It’s been designed to maximise the location and light, with some quirks thrown in to add intrigue to the interiors.
There are five spacious bedrooms within, three with their own, immaculate en suite bathroom. Each of these bathrooms are gorgeously designed with eye-catching tiling and facilities to the highest standard; you can wash the day’s sand and sun cream off the skin like a prince.
The remarkable master bedroom suite occupies the entire top floor of the villa and features a walk-in closet. It opens onto a large terrace for more of those stupendous views, while the accompanying en suite bathroom has a jacuzzi and vertical spa with sauna.
The kitchen is designed to be a communal space for family or friends to gather and chat, linger over a glass of fine Portuguese wine as the designated chef makes use of the high quality equipment (including a steam oven).
The wines will have come, of course, from your generous air-conditioned cellar, which is adjacent to your very own tasting room. This is a nice addition to a classic villa design and suits those with an interest in getting to know the local varieties and enjoy the tasting experience.
The villa celebrates outdoor living and the outbuildings are all thoughtfully designed and comfortably finished. The covered leisure area, 89 sq. m, includes a kitchen, barbecue and a lounge area, complete with a large dining table for those late-night dinner parties. The more active will no doubt be on the tennis court, playing golf on the private field or striding the gardens, which have all been landscaped to provide different spaces for silent reflection and beauty.
Oh, did we forget the swimming pool? While the sea is an obvious draw for swimmers, this pool is a luxurious facility for the villa and a lovely place to cool off as the sun slips down towards the horizon. With a deck space surrounding the pool and the additional ‘waterfall’ feature, this area will likely become another ‘hub’ for gathering guests during lazy afternoons.
If seeking a spectacular yet comfortably home on the Algarve – complete with the incredible views of the coastline that you’d hope for – then this villa is well worth viewing. It could be the ideal holiday home, or serve as a superb remote work location for those seeking to de-stress their working life with some sun and sea.
The villa is located in Albufeira, Algarve, and the closest airport is Faro International around 17 miles away. Albufeira is one of the liveliest resort towns on the Algarve, providing fun for both the adults (The Strip bristles with bars and restaurants) and the youngsters (speed boat tours and dolphin-watching trips), while the Old Town will deliver the charm that first-time visitors hope for.
