As you come through the electric gates, the property opens into a broad, sunlit setting of around 5,700 m², framed by mature gardens and the calm of the Algarve hills. The house sits beautifully within its grounds terraces unfolding around a generous pool, solar panels catching the light, and wide green areas that make the land feel both established and spacious.

The villa is sold fully furnished with high-quality Asian hardwood pieces that suit the home's elegant, grounded atmosphere. Inside, the first impression is one of warmth and scale. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone with elegant arches, clean lines, and a central tiled motif underfoot that feels almost like a compass point quietly guiding you into the heart of the house.

Every room is on one level, and the flow is effortless, carrying you from one generous space to the next. The living areas are made for real year-round comfort.

A sleek, open layout with cream cabinetry, dark granite worktops, and a central island that feels made for morning coffee, tapas with friends, or kids doing homework while dinner comes together. It's a space that blends function and sociability with ease, leading naturally into the dining area where recessed ceilings and warm wood tones create a relaxed but refined setting for long meals and celebrations. Four double bedrooms currently shape the private wing of the villa, each one en suite and thoughtfully finished. Three of the suites open directly onto the pool terrace, so waking up here can mean stepping straight out into sunshine and stillness. There is also the clear potential to convert the layout to six bedrooms if you want more guest accommodation or flexible family space, and a guest bathroom with shower adds another practical touch for entertaining. Step outside and the villa becomes a private resort. The solar-heated 10 x 5 metre pool is the heart of the outdoor setting, surrounded by wide decked areas and pergolas that create sun and shade all day long. The setting is complemented by a long covered dining area with yellow sail-style shades casting a golden glow over a large table the kind of place where lunches drift into evening without anyone noticing the time. Nearby, the outdoor sala feels like a second living room under a dramatic timber roof, complete with a log burner, radiant heaters, TV, and lighting. With deep sofas, open sides, and views over the garden, it's the perfect space for summer nights, winter gatherings, or simply watching the landscape change through the seasons. A hot tub completes the sense of indulgence, and the mist-cooling system ensures even the warmest afternoons stay comfortable. Sustainability has been seamlessly built into the lifestyle here. Eighteen solar panels, producing around 5kW, are connected to the grid, and a 300-litre solar hot water system with Wi-Fi control and immersion backup supports efficient living. Water is supplied by an approximately 80-metre borehole feeding a cisterna, with salt treatment, UV sterilisation, filtration, and Wi-Fi-controlled irrigation keeping the gardens thriving. It's a home that feels luxurious, but also smart, self-reliant, and future-ready. Security and peace of mind are equally well considered. Electric entrance gates with intercom and remote fobs, a full Ajax alarm system, and an eight-camera CCTV setup protect the property quietly in the background.
