Holiday house

126097/AL

Villa A Vida is located in a quiet, hilly part of the eastern Algarve, which has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. It is a traditionally built house in Portuguese style, overlooking a beautiful valley. Everything in and around the house exudes peace. The house has two spacious double rooms with a spacious double bed and 2 single box springs. Adjacent to the bedrooms you will find the bathrooms with a walk-in shower. The spacious covered terrace offers a beautiful view of the valley and gives access to the private swimming pool of over 8 x 4 meters with a sloping depth of 120 cm to 200 cm (not fenced) with plenty of privacy. The house is equipped with all amenities, including air conditioning in the master bedroom and living room, satellite TV, (moderate) WiFi, washing machine and dishwasher and beach towels for all guests. A large fireplace forms the heart of the house, making the house suitable for both the summer and winter months.

The house shines from a great distance on top of the mountain. You arrive at the electric entrance gate via an easily accessible unpaved road. The house is completely fenced and surrounded by a fantastic Mediterranean garden, fruit trees, cork oaks and almond trees. An ideal destination for people who love peace, space, privacy and nature. A lovely breeze in the summer ensures wonderful summer evenings on the veranda.

Porto Carvalhoso is located near Santa Catarina da Fonte Do Bispo, a small village in the municipality of Tavira, lying between Tavira and São Bras de Alportel. The area is fantastic for walking, (ATB) cycling and horse riding. And... the hustle and bustle of the beautiful fishing villages of Olhao, Tavira, Fuseta and Santa Luzia and the beaches are only a 20-minute drive away. A car is necessary.

We, Anne-Marie and Marinka are the proud owners of Villa a Vida. The motto Viva a Vida (Live Life) inspires us to chase our dreams every day. The dream of living and doing what it's all about… pure happiness. A long time ago we lost our hearts to Portugal; to the purity of this country, the nature and the people. Our dream was to be able to live here one day… in a valley surrounded by silence and nature.
