This is a truly Beautiful villa based in an upmarket area of Albufeira with stunning views in the far distance of the Monchique Mountains, olive groves, & surrounding countryside. Peaceful & scenic location, yet minutes to the old town, all beaches, amenities by car/bus/taxi or bike! A welcoming 'home from home' villa, a more sophisticated decor/furnishings, all amenities, beautiful private pool, & views to dream about! It's all about outside space when in sunny climes, & this villa has just that & more! Sophisticated decor inside & out, yet retaining Portuguese charm! The two main bedrooms lead down a beautiful curved stone tile staircase from the lounge to the ground floor.

Remote control air conditioning in the 2 bedrooms. The large en suite has an air bath, his & her sinks, bidet, WC/shower. Two sets of double patio doors lead out to the wonderful swimming pool, & an awning for shade. We used to have a wooden awning there, but it was damaged in a storm. Bedroom 2 has two 3 foot beds, walk in dressing room, plenty of storage space, large bathroom with a bath, & overhead shower, bidet/WC. One set of patio doors lead out to a bistro coffee table overlooking the pool! The office/sleep room is on the main floor, & is a good sized room with a queen sized bed, & has an en suite. Please note there is only air conditioning in the 2 bedrooms & in the office room there is a ceiling fan. The very large pine tree in the picture unfortunately died, so we had to cut it down, we will replace it with something else though in time. The villa has an abundance of seasonal fruit trees, bananas, oranges, tangerines, lemons all year, peaches, pomegranates, & olives. There is plenty of shade by way of awnings, terraces, tree shade, & verandas.
