3 Bed Villa for sale in Algarve, Portugal

The villa enjoys panoramic and far reaching views of the countryside and more than just a glimpse of the ocean. Located just 2km from the nearest beaches that offer a plethora of beach bars, with exquisite fresh fish on offer daily, the property offers easy access to this dramatic part of the Algarvian shoreline. Fully air conditioned and double glazed, this property offers comfort, convenience and the traditional style most people seek when searching for a perfect home in the sun. Vivenda Vivo has been used mainly as a family home but has excellent holiday rental potential too, with a successful first season in 2011. Access to the property from the road is down a pretty lane, lined with a dry stonewall to one side and fields on the other. This creates a first impression of a rural and peaceful home from home in the sunny Algarve, although the old town of Albufeira is in fact within walking distance. Fruit orchards of almond, olive, fig and citrus trees border the property and for intrepid explorers and lovers of the countryside, a footpath in any direction will take you to something new.
