Built on three sides of the rectangular pool, with doors opening from the main corridor onto the terrace, this impressively designed four-bedroomed villa is an ideal choice for a group of sun-loving friends. Light and airy and privately set in a quiet cul-de-sac on the Quinta do Lago estate, it is just four kilometres to the sea and half that to the shopping facilities. With its large landscaped and terraced garden, this is a villa for outside living - you will probably want to spend much of your time on the pool terrace, with its sun-loungers and parasols, occasionally repairing to the separate barbeque area or perhaps mustering the energy for a wander around the garden, with its ornamental lily pond. Inside, there are two twin bedrooms on ground level off the main corridor, with a master suite with a separate living room up above. The fourth en-suite bedroom has separate access from the pool terrace. The spacious living and dining areas (the table seats 10), are decorated in stylish creams and off-whites, they are adjoined at a right angle to the main house, hidden behind white columns and underneath a red tiled roof. When you and your friends congregate for drinks in the evenings, you can make your selection from the bar, which is discreetly hidden away.
