About this space
Unwind in a haven of tranquillity, just 25 min. from Faro! Our luxurious retreat villa is set in the hillside of pretty São Brás de Alportel. This estate is exuding tranquillity, joy and slow life. Our much loved estate features multiple terraces & outdoor spaces, overlooking the landscaped garden. The Villa has 3 bedrooms, a large pool, a covered terrace, a tea pergola and a patio. With views across the hills and the ocean in the distance, you will experience the very best of the Algarve!

The space
Wake up to the sound of the birds, watch the sunsets from the pool area - create a relaxing and memorable family holiday.
This beautifully decorated 3-bedroom villa offers our guests elegant, modern living and contemporary comfort. Decorated with antique furniture, the spacious rooms feel warm and timeless. There are 2 double bedrooms (one with additional single bed) with 2 separate bathrooms and a kid’s bedroom with a bunk bed, adjacent to the living room and kitchen (you have to go through the kid’s bedroom to go to reach the kitchen).
The 2 bedrooms are air conditioned with large modern panorama windows leading to the terrace and pool area. The thick walls keep the house cool in summer and the spacious covered veranda is perfect for al fresco dining. We also have a covered dining room annexing one of the bedrooms which is perfect for the breakfast or dinners. The fabulous private pool is surrounded by a wide terrace with stunning views across the garden and the Algarve hills. To everyone's delight, there is a charming KOI fish pond in the garden (fenced for safety reasons) and in a separate part of the garden there is a large trampoline for children and adults (which again for safety reasons, can be used only under close supervision by the parents).
Our Villa is the perfect zen retreat for those looking for seclusion and taking the time to reconnect with nature whilst not being far from the restaurants and many attractions of this unspoiled area of the Algarve. Golf, tennis, hiking cycling, beaches are all within a 20-30min proximity. The villa undergoes continual improvements to increase comfort and improve your authentic experience.
