The beauty of an established, mature garden
|
|
One of the Western Algarve's most beautifully located private villas, the quinta is set on 4.5 acres with park-like, mature gardens. The property affords a spectacularly attractive view across the fields towards the ocean. A beautiful pool area surrounds a salt water infinity pool. The garden is fenced and hedged and very private. Many almond trees, olive trees, flowering trees and some enormous cacti. Nearby village with regionally famous bakery, excellent butcher and small daily market, provides everything needed for daily life. The golden beaches of Meia Praia, the old town of Lagos and two famous golf courses are all within 10 minutes. This artist's residence is rustic around the edges, with a soft, lived-in feel. The overall atmosphere is artistic and romantic, with a strong sense of privacy and connection with nature.

Notes on accommodation
The villa is set on the Southern flank of a low elongated hill, which it shares with only one other villa, not in view, and half a dozen farmhouses along its foot. Almond trees, fig trees, and flowering shrub all around. The overall atmosphere is very peaceful. The hill, a protected area, is covered in short blue iris in early spring. There are foxes, partridges, hedgehogs, toads, and many kinds of birds nestling in the many cypresses and palms.
