EXCLUSIVE- Arriving at this property you feel the outside world slip away before you've even reached the gate.
Set in the hills inland from Tavira, this well-built 380m2 villa sits on a sprawling 8,000 m² plot rich with olive, citrus, grape, pomegranate, and quince. Birdsong, distant donkeys, the evening call of owls, frogs after rain — the soundtrack here is entirely natural. Sunsets are vivid and unreasonably beautiful; mornings bring soft mist settling in the valleys below, the hills emerging through it slowly, unhurried.

CHARACTER & INTERIOR
A donkey-brick arch announces the entrance, leading to a deep ocean blue front door. Inside, ceilings are panelled in powder blue — a deliberate nod to the sky and landscape beyond the windows on every level. Traditional Santa Catarina tiles ground the home in its Portuguese roots.

The country style kitchen features an open fireplace that once was a bread oven. It flows naturally onto a spacious covered terrace, shaded and set for long lunches. The generous living room has its own fireplace and frames an uninterrupted view over the heated infinity pool to the valleys and, beyond them, the sea. The master suite on the ground floor is completely separate for the 2 further bedrooms which are on the first floor and have their own access - perfect for guests and teens. There is the possibility to install a spiral staircase to link the 2 floors internally
