Description
Fabulous villa nestled amongst bountiful orange groves in a peaceful rural hamlet. The spacious, contemporary interior is embellished with light furnishings, polished wooden floors and magnificent full-length lounge windows opening to wooden decking overlooking a sparkling swimming pool, embraced by granite terraces and mature gardens. A 5-minute drive takes you to the traditional daily market town of Vila Nova de Caçela and the beautiful beach of Fabrica with its golden sands and warm waters.
The villa interior is tastefully furnished, and perfectly appointed with bright and spacious rooms, ideal for a family to enjoy a combined pool and beach holiday. Mornings are beautiful in this villa where you can wake up to the lovely aroma of orange blossom, followed by a leisurely poolside breakfast.
GROUND FLOOR – a beautiful lounge with 2 soft sofas and a comfy armchair where the light beams through the large windows running the entire length of the room, and lead to a shaded poolside patio. Facilities also include a marbled shower room /Guest WC and a well-equipped kitchen ensuring that catering at home is a joy, accompanied by a large white dining table for 8 guests. An adjoining annexe thoughtfully offers a spacious ground floor bedroom with twin beds, and a marbled ensuite shower room.
FIRST FLOOR – 3 king size bedrooms occupy the entire first floor, each with their own marbled ensuite bathroom facilities, and with orchard and farmland views. The mysterious door at the end of the hallway leads to a fabulous sun terrace with comfy seating and table flaunting glorious land and sea views, perfect for daytime relaxation, or later, to enjoy a wine or 2 under the stars.
OUTSIDE – Outside living is a joy in this villa! The beautiful decking area has a solid wooden “al fresco” dining table coupled with elegant rattan seating –perfect for lazy lunches followed by repose in the soft chairs enjoying the warm summer breeze. The poolside covered terrace is perfect for outdoor living under the famed Algarvian blue skies, and the traditional charcoal BBQ will no doubt entice foodies in the party to test their fish cooking skills. A non-slip granite terrace embraces the sparkling swimming pool, along with sunbeds for the sun worshippers, and the adjacent grassy space provides a perfect play area for children with the treelined house perimeter offering privacy and security for all.
This is a private accommodation and guests will be able to access all advertised areas and use all advertised facilities. There is 1 bedroom on ground floor, so guest with walking difficulties are well catered for. Parking is available within the grounds of the property.

Pros: Very well equipped villa with AC in very room and 3 suites plus an extra suite at garage level. The kitchen has everything you may need with an American style fridge.
The communication with Smartavillas staff is easy and kind. We are in the countryside but really close to the beach. It has a garage for two cars,. Cons: The cleaning is OK but I guess that there’s some room to improvement. Lots of dust below the living room sofas. The swimming pool is large and with clean water. However its design looks ancient and the access is through vertical steel stairs less suitable for children and elder people. |
