Location: Casa de Sonho, nestled in the beautiful hills of Eiras Altas at the tip of a ridge above the small village of Hortas, near the small town of Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo and the picturesque city of Tavira.
The spacious villa is situated on high ground in a tranquil setting with mature gardens surrounded by extensive natural grounds (12,500 m²). Large sun terraces with a swimming pool invite visitors to admire magnificent views of the Algarve landscape, including views of the sea. The property offers complete privacy, allowing you to enjoy the peace of the countryside in its unspoiled surroundings, surrounded by olive, carob, and medronho trees. The area offers excellent hiking and cycling opportunities, and in the spring, the hills are covered with an abundance of wildflowers.
Casa de Sonho combines modern architecture with the use of natural decorative stones. Upon entering the house through the south-facing living room, visitors are greeted by elegant, sculptural lounge furniture in a modern, retro style that creates a light and natural atmosphere. The room features a fireplace and satellite TV. In an open-plan layout, a well-equipped, spacious kitchen opens onto a large dining area where light, contemporary furniture sets the scene for breathtaking views of nature—facing south, over the hills towards the sea.
A bathroom with a shower and a hidden utility room adjacent to the kitchen complete the upper level. Air conditioning and free Wi-Fi are available throughout the entire property. One level down, you’ll find a spacious hallway leading to the three bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower, tub, and bidet. The master bedroom, furnished with modern wild oak designer furniture, features an en-suite bathroom with a shower and a large two-person bathtub. Another bedroom of equal size is furnished with a king-size bed and a small dressing table. The third bedroom is smaller and has two single beds. All bedrooms feature spacious closets. The three bedrooms open onto the large south-facing terraces and pool area, which feature a large granite outdoor dining table under a custom shade sail and a built-in BBQ.
The property, located at the tip of a ridge, welcomes visitors via a spacious, traditional Portuguese cobblestone driveway. It features a shaded carport and parking for 6 cars. Access to the property is via a paved road from Route N270; the final section is a 1-kilometer dirt track leading to the villa. A car is recommended for this location.
The house has its own solar panel and solar hot water system, thereby helping to protect the Algarve’s environment.
