Home description
Set in its own tropical garden, our two bedroom, two bathroom villia with its own pool is truly unusual in that whilst a new property, it has been built to reflect traditional Portuguese architecture. There is a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, lounge with TV and doors that completely fold back to provide a seamless transition from indoors to the private outdoor pool.
The pool area itself is fully equipped with sun loungers, seating areas and a barbeque and there is a 'secret garden' for those wanting peace, tranquility and shade during the very hot months. Both bedrooms are en suite and have their own private terrace for that early morning cup of tea!

The Algarve / West Algarve region
Lagos, which is 2km away, is the cultural and entertainment city in the area. With its cobbled streets, brand new marina, wonderful beaches and restaurants too many to count, it is a great destination for days and evenings out. Praia da Luz, which is also 2km away, offers all the advantages of a tourist resort but without the crowded feeling of other Algarve seaside areas. There are numerous beaches and coves nearby, the being 1km away which can be driven to (rarely busy even in the height of summer) or accessed on foot by a track. The surrounding villages offer a good variety of local cuisine away from the tourist crowd, and definitely at non-tourist prices!
Boavista championship golf course is 800m away.
Lagos / Atalaia area
For holidaymakers, it offers the ideal location to relax and enjoy the 3000 hours of sunshine per hour that the Algarve offers whilst being very close to the historic town of Lagos and the Blue Flag beaches of the Algarve. For golfers, it's heaven as Boavista Championship golf course is only 1km away - discounted golf and free buggy apply to some bookings. Contact for details.
The nearest supermarket is just a couple of minutes away - as is a fantastic Portuguese restaurant offering cheap food and, importantly, good cheap wine!
How to get there
70km from Faro airport, served by budget airlines from throughout Europe. Car hire can be arranged using a very cheap but reliable service with car collection from arrivals as opposed to a bus trip off the airport.

Further details indoors: Due to its heritage - Quinta in Portuguese means 'estate' - this villa has all the traditional Portuguese touches such as typical tiling, local architecture, natural stone floors but with all the modern convenience required by the discerning holiday maker. There are ceiling fans in every room - full airconditioning is not required as the glass in the doors/windows was manufactured in and imported from Germany and is of a specification that whilst clear, deflects the sun's heat. Clever, and it works as the guest feedback on my website shows! Central heating and log burning fires for the cooler, winter months.
Further details outdoors: There is parking for two cars.
Whether it's a retreat you're looking for or a holiday home close to all amenities and activities, this is the perfect place. The gardens are truly stunning and provide the ideal backdrop for sun bathing, entertaining, or relaxing.
Conditions
The villa is on one floor so is suitable for the less mobile. The swimming pool which is accessed direct from the living room does have some steps down to it. Alternative access is available from the side of the house down some steps with security rope rail. Our 90 year old mother in law, with her two replacement hips, has stayed and loved the ease with which she was able to get around.
