Home description
Your own piece of heaven, unlike no other, the villa has the feeling of being one of a kind, a true oasis for the body and mind, an excellent place to relax from the stresses and strains of the workplace. More of a relaxed country house feel, this villa's mature garden, double ended roman swimming pool and orchard are completely secluded behind its own walls. Original features, like exposed beams, terracotta floor tiles and antique marble fireplace, have been retained while all the modern amenities have been added for your comfort. On the outskirts of Lagos, the view from the roof terrace is over Meia Praia and Palmares Golf. Getting around could not be easier whether to the beach, into town, or to the 4 nearby close golf courses as access is child's play from your own front gates to practically everywhere! This bewitching country house is for all seasons; enjoy your rose garden in the Spring & Summer and a cosy fire in Autumn & Winter. Squeeze your own oranges from the orchard for breakfast and relax with a glass of excellent wine at the end your day – pure pleasure!

The Algarve / West Algarve region
Lagos was founded by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians from 1364 to 350 B.C. The Romans occupied the area in the first two centuries A.D. and the Moors took the town in the eighth century and remained there until 1249. Prince Henry the Navigator funded the Voyages of Discovery from here and with the invention of the Caravel enabled explorers and merchants to reach the Far East, India and the Americas and open up trade and cultural links.
