The contemporary open plan living space, modern kitchen and high beamed ceilings help make the house a special place to relax whether you come for the pool and spectacular beaches or country walks and evenings spent in front of the open fire. It was built as a family home and is equally suited for those with young children or as a romantic getaway. There is a maid service twice a week and our local English speaking house manager in Silves who is always available to help out if needed.
