Algarve, Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Portugal

This beautifully presented hilltop home is set within an exclusive cluster of just five villas, offering exceptional privacy in a quiet and tranquil setting. It enjoys panoramic sea views from most parts of the house—including the garden, lounge, bedrooms, and study—and is a short drive from Santa Bárbara de Nexe and Loulé, and just 15 minutes from several of the Algarve’s finest beaches.

Renovated in 2018, the villa combines modern comfort with elegant design. Manicured gardens with mature trees, a water feature, and a full irrigation system greet you on arrival. A spacious driveway provides ample off-street parking alongside a double garage with electric car charging points and additional storage.

The main level offers a bright, spacious living and dining area that opens onto the garden and pool terrace for seamless indoor-outdoor living, with stunning south-facing sea views. At the rear, the kitchen is practical and inviting, fitted with high-quality appliances, generous storage, and a large pantry.

The property has five bedrooms, four en suite. On the ground floor, there are two en suite bedrooms and a third bedroom used as an office. Upstairs, the primary suite features a spacious en suite with dual vanity sinks, two walk-in showers, and a separate freestanding bathtub, plus a dressing area, creating a luxurious spa-like retreat. Another upstairs en suite bedroom includes a bathtub.

The home has air conditioning, water-based underfloor heating, and electric shutters, with ten already integrated into a home automation system. All shutters, picture lights, and garden lighting can be controlled via remote or app, with the option to unify all shutters into a single system. Two separate water meters—one for household use and one for irrigation at a reduced rate—offer practical savings.

Outside, the infinity pool overlooks landscaped gardens and countryside. Located in a well-established hillside community near Santa Bárbara de Nexe, the development has quiet roads, panoramic views, and access to a tennis club, café, and walking paths, making it ideal for year-round living or a tranquil retreat.
