Well, I like to think that I would only feature an
Algarve villa for sale that offered something out of the
ordinary... and here's one that has plenty of outstanding
features, whether you're looking for tradition, style,
comfort, position, vistas...
Having spent time visiting there, I know well its
comforts and outlook, so why don't I just describe it in
full, in order that you can learn for yourself what this
property offers.
This is a substantial Algarve country house, built in the traditional rustic style with exposed beams and terracotta-tiled floors. It occupies a hillside position with spectacular views over stone-walled terraces and unspoiled countryside to the historic seaport of Olhão and panoramic expanses of Atlantic Ocean beyond.
The house is set in over two acres of land, having landscaped gardens that explode with colour, all surrounded by indigenous woodland, with olive groves, almond, fig and carob trees, punctuated by palms and an occasional statuesque conifer.
Its location would be hard to better, having easy access to beaches, golf courses and Faro airport. Additionally, the Via do Infante east-west motorway is near enough to be convenient, yet far enough away to be unheard: an arterial road that puts Spain within 30 minutes by car and Lisbon can be reached in 2
hours.
Luxury and seclusion, and yet a mere 20-minute drive to an Algarve beach. and 20 minutes to Faro airport!
