Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This four-bedroom Portuguese home’s impressive exterior, outdoor amenities and stunning sea views really caught our attention. Although light-filled, the interiors feel a little dated and yet with so much on offer outside – including a private pool, two alfresco dining areas and a rooftop terrace – in the sunshine is where you’ll want to be. What’s more, this villa’s location will suit those wanting to spend time out and about. Situated in Sao Rafael, within a short walk of the beach and local eateries, you’re also a 5-minute drive from Salgados Golf Course and approximately a 10-minute drive from the popular resort of Albufeira.
