This stylishly designed apartment is waiting to welcome you on your peaceful trip to the Algarve. The biggest draw of the home is, of course, the large rooftop terrace offering views over this scenic landscape, but we also adore the little balcony, overlooking the Ria Formosa lagoon nearby, perfect for morning coffees in the sunshine. You’ll be in a central spot, close to the ferry boat to Beach Island so you can spend time relaxing on Praia de Cabana, while the charming fishing village of Cabanas, with its delicious seafood restaurants, can be reached in just two minutes by foot. Inside, it's a wonderfully bright and open living space, where you can sink into the modern modular sofa or gather around the sleek dining table at the end of a long day spent sunbathing or exploring. The bedrooms are just as light and comfortable, while the kitchen will make preparing supper a breeze.
