Property Details

Your own piece of heaven, unlike no other, the villa has the feeling of being one of a kind, a true oasis for the body and mind, an excellent place to relax from the stresses and strains of the workplace. More of a relaxed country house feel, this villa's mature garden, double ended roman swimming pool and orchard are completely secluded behind its own walls. Original features, like exposed beams, terracotta floor tiles and antique marble fireplace, have been retained while all the modern amenities have been added for your comfort. On the outskirts of Lagos, the view from the roof terrace is over Meia Praia and Palmares Golf. Getting around could not be easier whether to the beach, into town, or to the 4 nearby close golf courses as access is child's play from your own front gates to practically everywhere! This bewitching country house is for all seasons; enjoy your rose garden in the Spring & Summer and a cosy fire in Autumn & Winter. Squeeze your own oranges from the orchard for breakfast and relax with a glass of excellent wine at the end your day – pure pleasure!

Sunny and south facing, the villa is beautifully appointed with a mix of antique and modern pieces. The large sitting room opens directly on to the pool as do 2 of the bedrooms; one is completely self-contained with its en-suite bathroom giving a bit of privacy to teenage or older members of your family. The third bedroom looks out on to the rose garden. The double-ended Roman 5 by 9 metre pool can be viewed via a security camera and seen from the TV in the lounge - great for keeping an eye on children of all ages. There is an outdoor barbecue plus plenty of pool recliners, chairs and parasols.

The roof top terrace has great views to the sea, mountains and your own orchard of oranges, grapefruit, lemons, fig and almond trees, while your private entrance is lined with a Rosemary hedge. The mature garden is large enough so that everyone can have their own space, whether its reading a book in the rose garden, splashing in the pool under the palm trees, enjoying the view sipping gin and tonics on the roof terrace or just picking herbs and oranges.

Country kitchen fully equipped with fridge/freezer, cooker with 4 burner hob and full electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine, Iron, microwave, electric toaster, electric kettle and juicer, wand blender and food processor, filter and espresso coffee machine crockery, glassware, pots and pans, serving dishes and utensils. Luxuries: Log fire, DVD player.

Set on the edge of Lagos, the villa looks east to wide expanse of Meia Praia beach with Palmares Golf above it, north to the mountains in the background, south to the Flags of BoaVista Golf course and to the west is Praia da Luz. Close by is the A22 that leads in 20 minutes to Park da Floresta golf and spa and in the other direction to Eastern Algarve, Faro airport and even north towards Lisbon. Within walking distance is a good typical restaurant and cafe. A 3-minute drive will take you into Lagos, with its 3 large supermarkets, historic centre and marina. The villa has its own drive and parking for at least 4 cars.

Lagos is the best liked of all the Algarve towns being lively it as well as laid back. It boasts 5 blue flag beaches, Meia Praia, Batata and Dona Ana, to mention the closest. The historic castle walls date from the 13 century and the beautiful "golden" church of Santo Antonio should not be missed because it is a masterpiece of gilded carvings. The amazing choice of places to eat and drink offer you a wide range of dishes plus in the squares you will find cafes and ice cream shops and there are all sorts of shops in the old town not to mention the 4 large supermarkets with plenty of parking. Many sea sport activities are available including windsurfing, sailing, boat trips, deep sea diving, fishing and those unforgettable boat trips around the caves.

Golf
Parque Da Floresta Golf
Just 15 minutes beyond the historic town of Lagos, this is the most westerly of the Algarve courses. The land here is totally different; hilly and with cistus bushes as far as the eye can see. In early spring the area is blanketed with white flowers. The resort offers not only golf, but also archery, bowls, horse riding, mountain biking, tennis and of course, Spa Floresta the fabulous new health & beauty spa.

Boavista may be one of the newest courses but it is a real cracker. Set overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the historic town of Lagos, and inland to the Monchique hills, Quinta da Boavista In addition to the 18-hole championship golf course and driving range, there is a teaching academy. It's a benevolent start. The opening hole gently slopes away downhill and a generous fairway instils a sense of well-being. The panorama adds to this feeling with views over lakes and tumbling waterfalls. Sounds wonderful but this is no time to be bemused; remember this is all part of the golf course designer's art.

Palmares
spectacular views out over the Bay of Lagos, Palmares is noted for its breathtaking scenery and splendid views across the bay of Lagos.The course has a pleasing mixture of woodland and links holes, with the upper holes winding through groves of almond and fig trees.

Penina
The Championship Course is the masterpiece of Sir Henry Cotton and that by which he wished to be remembered. 'The Penina' as it is reverentially known, was originally laid out on land used from growing rice. Eucalyptus trees re now here in abundance. The course has been carefully upgraded over recent years. If recognition were needed, the decision to hold the Portuguese Open here in 1998 and again in 1999, must surely be recognition enough.
