Accommodation and Facilities for the villa in Estoi, Faro region, Algarve, Portugal

The property

The villa is set in over an acre of landscaped and irrigated gardens. Whilst the lower terraces have retained their traditional agricultural appearance, the land surrounding the villa is now lavishly planted with an abundant array of plants and mature trees and shrubs. The garden and pool are professionally maintained. The property naturally lends itself to outdoor living with its large Moorish pillared veranda and ten meter swimming pool, which can be illuminated at night, and a games area. Pool heating may be requested in advance as an optional extra. A tiled dining table conveniently placed by the barbecue, ideal for taking meals al fresco, completes the recreation area. A roof top patio is available for private sunbathing. Out of season, comfort is assured by full gas fired central heating and by double-glazing throughout the villa. A wood burning stove adds cosiness to the sitting area as does a gas log fire in the dining room.

The Algarve

The Algarve has a relaxed and historic character quite distinct from other Mediterranean resorts. Many visitors are attracted by the many superb golf courses of international standard. Others come for the sunshine and the miles of unspoilt sandy beaches. Monte das Figueiras is for the discerning visitor, those who enjoy quiet idyllic days in the complete privacy of their own country house, with easy access to all the area's holiday facilities. The property is located near Azinheiro, a village approximately thirty minutes drive from Faro International Airport. Estoi is the closest town to the villa. Within five minutes drive, it offers a variety of small shops, a country market, Roman ruins and an 18th century palace. Faro Old Town and the delights of Olhao - a fishing town famous for its Moorish architecture - are within easy reach.
