Entering through the electric gates to the traditional calçada driveway with carport, and following the steps and pathway to the front of the Quinta, you enter either into the large, fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room or the light and spacious sitting/dining room. A master bedroom with a spacious en-suite bathroom, and a further large double bedroom, both with fitted wardrobes, and separate family bathroom, are to be found immediately off the living space.

Leave the main Quinta, and following the path around the corner, you will find two independent suites, both offering a large room with fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower rooms, perfect for when friends and family come to join you. A private terrace, adorned with a raised fishpond, allows your guests to relax in privacy with the tranquil sound of running water from the fountain. The centre piece of the garden, a fine example of Algarve alfresco living, is the covered outside kitchen/dining room with BBQ and far-reaching views down to the sea. Take a few steps down from here to the large, heated swimming pool and surrounding extensive terrace, the perfect place for sunbathing. Explore the garden more and you will find a well-stocked orchard area. All the pathways and raised boarders showcase fabulously crafted stone and traditional Algarve tiles. A further gated driveway leads to the area under the pool terrace. Here there is a further spacious room with the option to install a bathroom. This sizeable room offers versatile additional space, whether it be extra guest accommodation, a gym or home office. In addition you will also find the pool room, technical room, further storerooms & separate wc. The integrity of the Quinta has been maintained beautifully whilst offering the conveniences of modern life with air-conditioning throughout, underfloor heating and solar for the domestic hot water.
