Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated in a quiet residential area in Sesmarias, this home will tick all of your Portuguese holiday boxes. Charmingly furnished, the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is the heart of the home. Here, you can gather with loved ones to relax on the comfortable sofas after a day out enjoying the sun, or gather around the dining table as your nominated cook rustles up a delicious dinner. Step out onto your terrace, and this home springs to life. Multiple seating areas offer places to eat, drink and relax. Just picture yourself settling down on a chair with your morning coffee, as the just-risen sun shines softly down upon you. With views towards the sea and the mountains of Monchique, you’ll feel calmness wash over you. As the weather warms, don your swimsuit and cool off in your pool’s refreshing waters. With evening calling, we’d recommend firing up the barbecue for a little alfresco dining, enjoyed with a bottle of wine and those dearest to you. If you're itching to get out and explore the local area, there are restaurants and shops within walking distance and a couple of beautiful golf courses within easy reach. Further afield, you can visit the stunning coastline of Carvoeiro, around 4km away – something that should definitely be on your to-do list while you’re in this lovely part of Portugal.
