Algarve, Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo, Portugal

Set in the hills above Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo, this T2+1 peaceful property offers a quiet escape surrounded by open countryside and complete privacy on a generous 9,580m² plot. South-facing and immersed in nature, the home combines traditional Algarve character with thoughtful modern updates. Originally built in 1991 and renovated in 2008, it provides a rural setting just 10 minutes from Santa Catarina and within easy reach of Tavira, São Brás de Alportel and Faro Airport.

The main house includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, a fitted and equipped kitchen, dining room and a welcoming living room with fireplace and wood burner. Original details such as cane ceilings, exposed wooden beams, terracotta tiles from Santa Catarina and the traditional bread oven have been preserved, maintaining authenticity throughout. Double glazing and wooden shutters enhance comfort, while natural light gives each room a warm, relaxed feel.

In addition to the main house, there is a self-contained studio with its own bathroom, making this a T2+1 villa. This independent space offers flexibility for guests, creative use or potential rental income. Outdoors, several terraces, a covered patio and a roof terrace provide different areas to unwind. The above-ground round swimming pool, set within a wooden deck and landscaped garden with pond, reinforces the sense of calm and privacy.
With easy access via tarmac road and only 10 minutes from local amenities, this peaceful property in the hills is well suited as a permanent residence, a holiday home or an investment with rural tourism potential (subject to licensing). The size of the plot allows for further landscaping or leisure areas while preserving the tranquil setting. A viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the atmosphere and versatility of this countryside retreat.
