This luxuriously appointed Algarve villa is available for rental for the first time and is furnished to a very high standard of design and comfort.  It is located on a hillside and offers lovely views of the Algarve countryside and the distant coast line towards Faro and Quinta do Lago.

Leading from the spacious hallway are 2 of the double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom.  The other large bathroom is detached.  There is a separate TV lounge and a beautifully furnished open-plan dining and living area with French windows leading onto the dining terrace overlooking the inlaid mosaic pool.

Upstairs are a further 2 double bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms, and a large garden terrace commanding wonderful views.

The large, extremely well-equipped kitchen  has its own small dining area, as well as an adjacent utility room with fridges, freezers, washing and drying machines and dishwasher.

The pool is large and has a salt water system, which is much kinder to the skin and hair than the standard chlorine system.  It is surrounded by a large terrace and beautifully maintained gardens.

There are generous parking areas entered through two sets of electronic gates and the whole property is enclosed, but not overlooked.

The villa is 5 minutes drive from the village of Santa Barbara which has a choice of restaurants, cafes and bars, as well as banking and postal facilities, an English-speaking medical centre and pharmacy.
