About our home
This minimalist hideaway in the Algarve is set at the end of a natural road lined with gnarled olive, almond and cork trees, and includes a 15 meter swimming pool, several patios and a rooftop terrace. The house was designed by award winning architect Pedro Domingos Arquitectos and was published in many books and magazines.
Once a rundown traditional Algarve house, the property has been rebuilt and transformed with modern spaces, seamless flow and large gardens with picture-perfect views. The minimalist interior design, concrete flooring and linear shapes create a beautiful contemporary space. Sunbathe and relax on the rooftop terrace with views of the hills and a nearby nature reserve; spend days at the local sandy beaches, and buy local food from the nearby markets to take home for alfresco dinners on the patio.
The house is cool and inviting at the same time. The rural surroundings and the proximity to the many attractions of the Algarve make the house a perfect destination for a holiday with family or friends.
The villa is located in a nature reserve at the end of a dirt road, with absolute peace and quiet all around. It is 5 minutes’ drive from Santa Barbara de Nexe, which has supermarkets, grocery stores, a bakery and restaurants. The best beaches in the Algarve are a 20-minute drive away, there are several world class golf courses 10-15 minutes’ drive away and there is a huge shopping mall with a kids playground 10 minutes away. The Algarve is known for the Ria Formosa nature reserve, beaches, wine and ceramics, and it is known for being family friendly. Faro airport is 20 minutes away. The villa is set in a 2,500 square metre plot within a nature reserve, surrounded by greenery, olive, almond and cork trees.
