Description
Casa Arte, as described by Condé Nast Traveler, is:
“...the antithesis of many people’s idea of the Algarve, a tiny gem with crisp white lines on a country hillside far from the coastal crowds. It's the kind of place that feels like it's dropped off the edge of the world, where days come suffused with heat-induced idleness.”
Designed by an architect deeply in love with the Algarve, Casa Arte was conceived as a family retreat that honors the natural landscape and its Moorish heritage. The vision: a home where children, grandchildren, and friends could gather to enjoy the Algarvean summer.
Fully renovated between 2012 and 2014, the villa now blends traditional architecture with modern elegance.
The original whitewashed walls and domed archways remain, while polished concrete finishes, striking black, white, and grey tiled details, under-floor heating, and double glazing bring a contemporary edge. Casa Arte remains one of the most stylish and distinctive properties in the Western Algarve.
The layout includes generous suites and guest apartments, all connected through open-air corridors and peaceful courtyards. At the heart of the home, a spacious living room with a fireplace opens onto a stunning terrace. Here, a bioclimatic pergola offers a seamless extension of the living space, ideal for entertaining, or other activities like yoga, etc.
The kitchen has been professionally designed for gourmet cooking and hosting large groups.
The pool area offers yet another private leisure space, complete with a second bioclimatic pergola for alfresco dining and long summer afternoons.
The expansive plot is effortlessly maintained through minimal landscaping, while a borehole supports a lush garden surrounding the house. A wide variety of mature trees offer natural shade, privacy, and a deep sense of place. Despite its secluded feel, Casa Arte is only a few minutes by car from the historic town of Lagos and all its shops, restaurants, and activities.
Once run as a boutique luxury B&B, the property is now rented as a whole and achieves an exceptionally high return. Whether you're looking for a private home, a business opportunity, or both, Casa Arte is a rare and special find in the Algarve countryside.
Additionally, the touristic license allows for the doubling of the existing built area.
