The house looks out through a colonnaded patio swathed in bougainvillea to the swimming pool, and the sea just 300m away, with dramatic views eastward to the cliffs and lighthouse of the Ponta da Piedade. The patio has bench and armchair seating, reclining deck chairs, dining table with umbrella and wheeled barbecue. The pool (9m x 5m) is private and surrounded by Portuguese paving stones and flanked by two lawns. Nearby are two vine-covered pergolas that could be used for outdoor sitting and alfresco dining. To the side of the house is another, lower lawn surrounded with flowering shrubs and trees making a peaceful refuge away from the pool.
