Drop-dead Gorgeous Algarve Country Retreat
Luxurious country house estate for vacation rentals in the Algarve located on a 92 private hectares laden with fruit trees and private gardens.
This exquisite villa in the heart of Portugal’s Algarve boasts approximately 300m2 (3,200sqft) of luxurious tranquillity on a 92-hectare private estate peppered with fruit trees and gardens. Although you enjoy quiet seclusion around your private pool, in just 15 minutes you can be at the beach or tucking into sardines in Portimão.
The stunning 17th-century countryside retreat has remained in the same family for over 360 years. Recently renovated, the home makes a perfect VIP retreat.
Besides the main house — with 5 bedrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, living and dining areas and staff quarters — there are two guest houses and a lovely private chapel, where you’ll find a beautiful altar crafted with traditional Portuguese carvings.
Surrounded by acres of well-tended gardens, the pool area offers an idyllic, sheltered area to spend leisurely days soaking up the tranquility, playing with the kids or dozing under a shady umbrella or centuries-old tree.
The two guest cottages are a stone's throw from the main house, each beautifully appointed with fresh, fun furnishings, spacious living/dining rooms cozy with a wood burning fireplace and TV, a small, but well-equipped kitchen with breakfast veranda and two full bathrooms.
With plenty of spaces to come together – including an area for BBQs and al fresco socializing – you may be tempted to spend your whole getaway within its beautiful confines. Enjoy leisurely walks through the vast estate full of fig, walnut and orange trees. Horse lovers will be happy to know that there is a riding centre nearby.
In these surprisingly peaceful surroundings, you are sure to experience a relaxed and memorable stay in this authentic Algarve retreat.
