This is a wonderful, spacious villa situated inland, on a hillside between the mountains and the ocean. It has breathtaking views across the Algarve countryside and to the coastal towns. The villa offers quiet seclusion, yet it is just 20 minutes drive from the beaches and golf courses. A wide choice of shops and restaurants can be found in the nearby market town of Loulé, 5 minutes drive away. Market day is Saturday and worth a visit. The villa is comfortable, and tastefully furnished throughout. The accommodation consists of a comfortable and elegantly furnished lounge/dining room with satellite TV, video, DVD, hi-fi and CD player. The modern, spacious kitchen is fully fitted with a dining area that seats ten. It is well equipped with dishwasher, American style fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine. The main house features two twin-bedded rooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, a twin-bedded room with an en-suite bathroom and a double-bedded room with an en-suite bathroom. There is a small room adjacent to the double bedded-room, which would comfortably accommodate a child. There are an additional two twin-bedded rooms, both with en-suite shower rooms on the lower floor at garden level (entrance is via the pool staircase and garden). All bedrooms are furnished to a high standard and all have ceiling fans. Patio doors lead from the lounge to a large shaded terrace overlooking the pool area and with stunning views of the countryside and coast. Terrace tables and chairs with seating for twelve make this the perfect setting for outdoor eating. The barbecue is in the garden, just a few steps down from the pool area. To help you relax, the housekeeper, Natalia, works five and a half days per weeks and attends to the cleaning, laundry and ironing. She is also happy to baby-sit.
