Set in a peaceful rural location just north of São Brás de Alportel, the house is accessed via a scenic drive through the hills of the Serra Algarvia. South-facing and bathed in natural light, the property enjoys sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. Extensive works were completed in 2022, including updated electrical and plumbing systems, a new kitchen and bathrooms, alarm systeem and partial roof renewal.

A charming porch provides a shaded area for relaxing, and a few steps lead up to a large terrace and the main entrance to the house.

Upstairs, the home features a second guest bedroom, a separate shower room, and a bright master bedroom with en suite bathroom. The ceilings feature whitewashed wooden beams with cane inlays, enhancing the airy, traditional aesthetic. Throughout the home, wooden shutters, doors, and handcrafted Santa Catarina terracotta tiles preserve the propertys authentic character.
