This four-bedroom villa sits high above the sea on the coastal bluff of Cristo Rei, within a few minutes’ walk of the nearest beach and a short drive of the capital. Its accessible location with stunning panoramic vistas and ample room for a family or group of friends makes it a perfect base for anyone hoping to explore all this scenic island has to offer. Waking up to the sunshine glittering on the ocean, you’ll feel a sense of ease wash over you whether you’re sipping your morning coffee on the bedroom balcony or enjoying breakfast on the covered terrace. If you’re looking for a bit of adventure why not head out on a whale watching tour or make your way inland for a hike through the island’s lush interior with its cascading waterfalls and rocky peaks. Coming home, you’ll find this villa offers everything you need for a sun-filled afternoon. Pour yourself a cold drink and soak in some rays on the poolside sun loungers, then come evening serve up a tasty grilled meal to be enjoyed alfresco in the garden gazebo. Moving inside, the elegant interior with comfortable furnishings makes for the perfect place to rest and recover before another wonderful day.
