Algarve, Lagos, Portugal

Tucked away behind a charming courtyard, this hidden gem reveals itself as soon as you step inside. The entrance opens into a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with natural light and connect seamlessly to the outdoor terrace. Here you’ll find a private swimming pool and sunbathing area, a perfect oasis right in the city. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered – from the top-quality appliances to the original stonework that hints at the home’s past life as a ruin.

On this same floor is a beautifully appointed bedroom with en-suite bathroom, along with a guest toilet. A striking open staircase then leads you to the first floor, home to the main living room with direct access to a large balcony overlooking the sea. The living room also hosts a gas fireplace, perfect for those winter evenings. The master suite is also on this level, complete with walk-in wardrobe, luxurious en-suite bathroom, and its own balcony with lovely views over the city.

The second floor offers yet another living space, cleverly equipped with a kitchen and access to another balcony, where the sweeping sea views become even more spectacular. This level also includes an additional bedroom and a family bathroom.

At the very top, the roof terrace takes your breath away, delivering panoramic views over Lagos, the bay of Meia Praia, and out to the ocean – the perfect place to watch both sunrise and sunset.

On the lower ground floor, the home offers practical yet flexible space, with a laundry room and an office that could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom if desired.

The balconies and terraces throughout the house gives 135m2 of additional outdoor living space.

This property is simply breathtaking, with every detail carefully curated to balance contemporary luxury and timeless charm. Features include underfloor heating throughout and full air conditioning, ensuring year-round comfort, as well as a solar system for the hot water.
