Arriving at the entrance to this secluded villa it is easy to feel the outside world slipping away as you step into the peaceful courtyard and through the large Moorish entrance doors into the cool hallway. The entrance offers first-time visitors a glimpse and feels for the house, with tranquil fountains and organic wood sculptures, leaving the outside world behind, peaceful, restful, and calm within the house. The surrounding countryside is also peaceful and quiet with its own private land covering over five acres, and sea views visible down the valley. The villa benefits from ownership of large swathes of virgin agricultural land surrounding the property and providing the uncommon additional elements of both space and privacy. The land could be used for growing olives, citrus fruits, or as a vineyard. The soil has been tested and proven to be suitable for several grape varietals. Every public room in this stunning villa enjoys a South classical view down the valley overlooking Faro beach and the ocean in the distance. Internally the house is developed on two floors. The lower garden level floor contains 3 guest bedrooms, each ensuite and with access to the pool terraces.
