The living and dining area flows into an Italian kitchen fitted with BOSCH appliances and opens to a private pool and a landscaped garden with automatic irrigation.

Specification includes solar panels and a BOSCH solar hot water system, ducted air conditioning, mechanical ventilation (VMC), REHAU double-glazed windows, a CORTIZO security door, electric shutters, a video intercom, automatic gates and smart home controls.
The villas are built with the AMVIC insulated concrete form (ICF) system: concrete walls with continuous insulation cast in place. In practice that means steady indoor temperatures through the Algarve year, a noticeably quieter interior, and lower energy use, which is what supports the energy rating of A. It is a build quality you feel in comfort and running costs rather than see.
