Aptly named “The Charming Villa with Stunning Valley Views,” this delightful abode is nestled in a picturesque setting, encompassing breathtaking panoramic vistas that grace the valley below. Designed and built in 1993 by an acclaimed architect, who continues to spend part of his time in the nearby Hortas, Algarve, this villa serves as a serene retreat for nature enthusiasts and anyone in search of peaceful refuge.

The villa with fully licensed swimming pool boasts a welcoming and functional layout, making it both cozy and practical. On the ground floor, a fully equipped kitchen provides convenient access to an adjacent utility and storage area, ideal for stashing gardening tools and supplies needed to maintain the enchanting surrounding landscape. The heart of the home features a living and dining area accentuated by a SPARTHERM wood fireplace that supplies warmth throughout, ensuring a snug atmosphere perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings. This level is home to two comfortable bedrooms, both equipped with built-in wardrobes, while one enjoys the additional luxury of an en-suite bathroom. A marble-walled bathroom completes this floor, with all rooms featuring thermostat-controlled marble wall heaters to deliver a personalized comfort experience.

Ascending to the upper floor, a versatile third room opens up a world of possibilities, serving as an office, art studio, or additional storage space to fit your needs. This room connects to a private terrace, ideal for unwinding amidst the breathtaking scenery, with air conditioning to maintain a perfect temperature throughout the year. The outdoor space mirrors the villa’s charm, with a covered terrace that overlooks a refreshing 3×6-meter swimming pool, its depth varying from 0.9 to 1.8 meters, built in 1995. The well-designed garden invites exploration, boasting numerous cozy corners perfect for enjoying stunning sunsets and appreciating the serene ambiance of the valley.

This property is not only visually appealing but also equipped with modern conveniences that enhance comfort and efficiency. Air conditioning units from Daikin cool or heat every room, while solar panels provide eco-friendly water heating. The DRYMAT system, designed to prevent rising damp, ensures a dry and healthy environment, which, combined with double-glazed windows and doors fitted with PVC frames and integrated mosquito nets, guarantees comfort throughout the changing seasons. The property is expertly designed for modern living, with satellite TV installed and a well-structured water and sewage system. A 15,000-liter cisterna collects rainwater, often meeting daily needs during winter, and the option for a borehole installation adds to its appeal.

Additionally, the villa includes a standard fossa system with two compartments and seven accessible manholes for maintenance ease. The entire estate is securely fenced, providing privacy and tranquility, with two entrance gates for convenient access. Ideally situated less than 2.5 kilometers from the village of Santa Catarina, the villa is also a stone’s throw from nearby towns—just 15 kilometers to Tavira, 10 kilometers to São Brás de Alportel, and a mere 30 kilometers to Faro Airport, making it an accessible sanctuary in the heart of the Algarve. This property is truly a unique haven, offering a perfect blend of traditional elegance and contemporary conveniences in a stunning natural setting.
