It has amazing views over the country side down to the coast, and is just fifteen minutes from the glamour of the beaches of Quinta do Lago, Dounas Douradas and Vale do Lobo.
There is a small,very friendly, riding school next door, which welcomes children of all ages, to ride, or groom the horses.
A heavenly setting from which to enjoy the nearby beaches, restaurants, nature reserve, golf, villages and fabulous shopping of the central Algarve.
This stunning house has the most wonderful outside space with large areas of lawn with lots of shady enclaves, from which you can gaze out at the sea and country views. There is a large pillared shaded terrace, which is perfect for al fresco dining, as well as a shaded outdoor lounge area, which enjoys views of the garden, pool and sea.
The large modern kitchen has sea views and leads out to the garden and pool. It is equipped with everything you could need, including a Nespresso coffee machine, an American fridge freezer with drinks and ice dispenser and large television and a second lounge area. The kitchen flows into the separate dining room, seating 10, also with sea views and French doors to the garden. It is a beautiful place from which to enjoy an evening meal with friends.
