Infused with natural light courtesy of the stylish wall of glass stretching along one side of the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, this villa is a contemporary dream. We love the vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, adding character to the space, and the double-sided fireplace promises a cosy atmosphere in colder months. With its hillside location, you can swim in the private pool, soaking up the Portuguese sun as you enjoy views across the countryside and down towards the coast. With an abundance of outdoor seating areas to enjoy, find your very own quiet spot and settle down with your book and a glass of wine to while away a few lazy hours in true holiday style. The sleek kitchen will have you donning your chef’s hat in no time, but for evenings where you’d prefer a night off cooking, a short twenty-minute drive will take you to Loulé where you can sample the local cuisine. With its peaceful location and serene atmosphere, this home will provide the perfect backdrop to your Portuguese adventure.

Local guide
About São Bras de Alportel
Tucked between the hills of Serra do Caldeirão and the Atlantic Ocean, you'd hardly believe sleepy São Bras de Alportel is just a short drive from lively Faro. Barely touched by tourism, a picturesque central plaza dotted with a handful of cafes and restaurants is the hub of the town.
