Algarve, Almancil, Portugal

Set in Varandas do Lago, between Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, this contemporary villa combines clean architectural lines with characterful interiors, generous living spaces and carefully selected design details. 
Built by the current owners with considerable attention to detail, the villa has never been rented and reflects the considered approach they brought to its design, finishes and functionality. A double-height entrance creates an immediate sense of space, with a direct sightline through the main living areas to the swimming pool and protected landscape beyond.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area spans the width of the property, with large pocket doors opening onto the covered terrace and pool. The bespoke kitchen combines a minimalist design with a functional layout, featuring a central island and Siemens appliances, with an outdoor dining area positioned directly alongside. A gas fireplace defines the living area, while two en-suite bedrooms with built-in wardrobes are positioned on opposite sides of the ground floor, together with a guest cloakroom.
Upstairs, the principal suite features a dressing room, spacious bathroom with bathtub and shower, and direct terrace access. A further en-suite bedroom and separate office are also located on this level. The first-floor hallway flows between the bedrooms and incorporates a dedicated bar and coffee area, opening directly onto the terrace. A large bioclimatic pergola extends across the outdoor space, creating a generous setting for relaxing and entertaining while enjoying the open outlook.
The lower level provides extensive additional living space, including an open-plan games and TV area, gym and a bright additional room with a full-size window. The room has its own bathroom with dual access, allowing it to be accessed privately from the room while also providing direct access from the games and TV area. A utility room and several storage areas provide excellent practicality, while the garage includes an electric vehicle charger and further storage.
Outside, the saltwater swimming pool is surrounded by terraces and enjoys a private outlook towards the protected landscape beyond, with pre-installation already in place for pool heating. Comfort throughout the villa is supported by ducted air conditioning and wall-mounted heating panels. Combining contemporary living, flexible leisure spaces and generous terraces, the villa enjoys a sought-after position in Varandas do Lago, within easy reach of the beaches, golf courses, restaurants and amenities of both Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo.
