There’s a certain serenity to this elegant villa. Maybe it’s the calm colour scheme or the secluded location in pine-scented Vale do Lobo. Either way, you’ll find yourself in relaxation mode from the second you arrive. The ample living space is filled with natural light, with doors opening onto the terrace for that indoor/outdoor flow. There’s a kitchen with a breakfast bar, a sumptuous corner sofa to fit the whole family, and a top-notch Sonos sound system that runs seamlessly throughout.

Beach lovers will be in heaven here, with over 2km of golden sands on the rolling Atlantic, and if you’re a golf fan, you’re in luck, with two championship golf courses on your doorstep.
