Echoing the traditional red tiles of Portuguese architecture, this impressive villa features a stunning crimson façade that's especially captivating thanks to its abundantly vivacious, contrasting green surroundings. Encompassed by verdant fauna, sprawling gardens and an emerald-green infinity pool, we might just define this home as bliss itself. Inside, you'll find a tranquil yet modern interior, with a sociable open-plan living space bathed in natural light thanks to its concrete-vaulted ceilings and expansive windows. Minimalist designs have been accentuated with thoughtful touches and plush furnishings – bright white walls are softened by warm light fixtures – creating an ambient space to spend memorable moments in. There’s something undeniably cosy about the sociable living room – an idyllic place to spend game nights, nestled in the huge sofa. The sleek concrete dining table is the perfect spot to host decadent meals with your guests, whilst the gallery window overlooking the illuminated pool creates a striking mood. We think you’ll love this home’s outdoor terrace – thoughtfully designed for you to spend nights with your loved ones, sharing glasses of port after a day stretched out poolside. Fall into peaceful slumbers from your plush and spacious bedroom, ready to open your eyes to rich green views. If you fancy wandering off-site, there are gold sand beaches surrounded by red cliffs in Melides, and if you’re seeking a day in the town, drive a short distance from your countryside oasis to Grandola where you’ll discover quaint streets and local restaurants.
