About this property
Release your inner Zen Escape Villa when you vacation in this stunning property near Portugal's Atlantic coast, overlooking the meandering River Arade, with the magnificent Monchique mountains as a backdrop. This one-storey, detached villa has three spacious double bedrooms, which can comfortably accommodate up to four adults and two children, ideal for a family holiday or a small group of friends’ getaway.
The villa is set on its own grounds, with manicured Mediterranean gardens, a paved patio, and a decked terrace, which is home to your own private swimming pool. The architecture is classic whitewashed walls, with huge picture postcard windows that reward the guests with sweeping panoramic views.
The property comes with all the mod cons, including complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, satellite television, and private parking. The interiors are cool and contemporary, furnished with stylish pieces, dressed with complementary artefacts, and decorated in a soothing colour palette of natural earth tones.
Enter the villa to be welcomed by a light, bright, and airy open-plan living space with floor-to-ceiling windows that give seamless access to the river-view terrace. The seating area is furnished with two comfy, fat-cushioned, three-seater sofas and coffee and side tables arranged around a flat-screen satellite television. An elegant study space has a crystal chandelier, a desk and chair, and a French-style armoire.
The sleek kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest appliances you will need to cater for your holiday and serve up supper at the formal six-seater dining set. The Master Bedroom has a large wood-framed double bed, a bijou dressing table set, and an ensuite smart monochrome designer bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a set of twin beds and a dressing table and interconnects with bedroom 3, which has a sofa-bed and chair and a furnished terrace with a view.
These two bedrooms could be a mini-suite, and they share a bathroom with a corner bathtub, perfect for a long hot soak after a day’s sightseeing.
Step out onto the paved patio, take a chair at the soft seating set, and admire the view. Stroll down to the decking and have a swim in the L-shaped infinity pool, relax on the adjacent sun loungers under a shady parasol, and then take an afternoon nap on the wood-framed day bed.
As the sun sets, meet on the terrace for cocktails before dining alfresco at the outdoor dining table, with dishes freshly prepped in the summer kitchen, and raise a glass of Vino Verde for the most memorable holiday.
You can find your inner Zen Escape Villa perched on a hill overlooking the River Arade and Monchique mountain range in the Algarve region of Portugal near the Atlantic coast.
Your holiday home is seventy kilometres from the nearest international airport at Faro. The nearby town of Silves is famous for its rich Moorish and medieval influences, which can be seen in the castle and cathedral, the treasures of which are displayed in the Archeological Museum. In the town, you will find stores and markets stocked with provisions for your stay and lots of welcoming cafes, bars, and restaurants.
The nearest beach is approximately a twenty-five-minute drive away; choose from Praia da Marinha, de Benagil, or the famous da Rocha, set in stunning scenery with soft sand and crystal-clear waters for swimming and snorkelling. Test your skills with a selection of water sports, including surfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. For those who prefer being on the water, all aboard for a boat tour and dolphin spotting trip along the coast, exploring hidden bays and secret coves.
The Algarve is renowned for its world-class golf courses and links; start small with a game of mini golf, and work your way up to the international level.
In the evening, make your way to the hot spot resort of Portimão, wine and dine by the seashore, and dance until dawn in the lively bars and clubs.
