Algarve, Vila do Bispo, Portugal

Casa Matoso is part of As Vicentinas, a collection of homes by award-winning studio Anarchlab. Rebuilt in the centre of Vila do Bispo, it combines a stone façade, traditional clay roof tiles, and exposed timber structure with handmade Santa Catarina terracotta floors, microcement, marble, and lacquered joinery throughout.

The property comes with entirely new infrastructure: new electrics, new plumbing, a 100-litre water heater, and preparation for wall-mounted heating units. 

Upon entering, you're welcomed into an open living and kitchen area, connected as a single space. The kitchen is functional and contemporary, fitted with built-in appliances, a countertop, sink, and backsplash, designed for practical everyday use. The bathroom is fully equipped, with a comfortable shower area and a closed storage unit built in for practical use of the space. The 100-litre water heater is installed here, offering a discreet, space-efficient solution.

Upstairs, the mezzanine holds the bedroom, set apart from the living space below while remaining easily accessible.

The garden is ideal for morning coffee or evenings outdoors, including white marble gravel beds, bougainvillea, loquat trees, and an outdoor shower.

Vila do Bispo sits at the western edge of the Algarve. The village is tipically quiet with a whitewashed square, several excellent restaurants, and access to some of Portugal's most stunning beaches, including Castelejo, Cordoama, and Zavial. Lagos is just a 30 minutes drive away.

At Exclusive Algarve Villas, we've been guiding buyers through the western Algarve since 2006, with offices in Lagos, Lagoa, and Vilamoura. Our personalised approach and reliable assistance through the buying and selling process has earned us multiple International Property Awards.
