|
Exclusive, stylish and refreshingly different with a southerly aspect and 180’ sea views. This architect designed villa is cheerfully bright and spacious opening onto an unspoilt land and seascape with a generous 10x5m mineral water (no chlorine) pool and large private sunbathing deck. The BBQ and shaded alfresco eating and 20m x 10m fenced recreation area is overlooked by the main house and covered terraces. The unspoilt natural beauty is enhanced with clever planting and stonewalled pathways running between rock outcrops and ancient carob, olive and fig trees. The villa hides a two level gem filled with bright generous accommodation. A short drive will take you to Tavira with its cobbled streets, bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets. The numerous beautiful beaches are within 10/15 minute drive, like Tavira Island, Santa Luzia, Cabanas, Cabeco, Praia Verde and Monte Gordo. Several golf courses are within 15 minutes drive and many more within 30 mins.

Several beautiful beaches in the area are a short 15 minute drive away. Tavira Island is the more lively of these, and is reached by a small ferry boat from Tavira or Quatro Aguas. Barril beach at Santa Luzia is reached either on foot or by miniature train. Both of these are located in the Ria Formosa nature reserve. The several beaches east of Tavira, like Cabanas, Cabeco, Praia Verde & Monte Gordo, are all quite beautiful and have on beach restaurants and refreshment areas.
Golf
Designed by Jack Nicklaus or Seve Ballesteros the newer courses of Monte Rei or Quinta do Vale are just 15 mins away. Closer again are Benamor, Quinta do Rio or Quinta da Cima or the less arduous par-three nine-hole at Colina Verde. 30 mins away are Quinta do Lago, Villamoura, Vale do lobo, etc. The real gain of this location is enjoying the benefits of quiet country living, whilst still at the virtual hub of Algarvian golf and other sporting amenities.
