Nestled in the heart of Vale Judeu, a picturesque village in Central Algarve, this remarkable residence offers an exceptional blend of traditional Portuguese elegance and refined, bespoke living. Just minutes from the golden coastline and Faro International Airport, this captivating 5- to 6-bedroom villa with multiple reception rooms invites you into a lifestyle where timeless charm meets contemporary comfort.
From the moment you arrive, a striking white boundary wall and elegant entrance gates welcome you down a tree-lined driveway, instantly evoking a sense of serenity. The courtyard, finished in classic calçada stone, evokes the spirit of a traditional Quinta and is flanked by a spacious double garage with built-in storage, a practical log store, and lush, mature landscaping that surrounds the securely gated plot – a true sanctuary for those with pets or a desire for privacy. Nearby, a separate laundry room and an additional outbuilding offer further convenience and functionality, discreetly positioned away from the main home.
Entering the villa, you're greeted by a bright hallway where traditional cane ceilings immediately transport you to the architectural soul of the Algarve. This design detail, present throughout the home, enhances the warm and inviting atmosphere. A stylish guest cloakroom and coat room are tucked away, while clean white plaster walls and carefully selected furnishings strike a balance between rustic charm and sophisticated design.
From here, double doors lead into a stunning open-plan living area, flooded with natural light and seamlessly connected to the surrounding gardens. To one side, a cosy sitting room features a wood-burning fireplace and air conditioning, creating an ideal space for year-round comfort. A few steps down, the formal dining area is framed by large patio doors that open onto the gardens, with exposed wooden beams and the signature cane ceiling tying the space together.
Adjacent to the dining room, a few gentle steps lead to the show-stopping master suite — a private sanctuary with its own sitting room, two walk-in dressing rooms, and a bright, spacious en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating. The suite flows effortlessly into a private courtyard and further onto the main garden and pool area, blurring the boundaries between indoor comfort and outdoor living. Air conditioning in both rooms ensures maximum comfort.
Opposite this wing of the villa, the kitchen forms the heart of the home. Crafted with a traditional brick-vaulted ceiling, it radiates a welcoming, rustic ambience. Fully equipped and designed for effortless entertaining, the kitchen features a walk-in pantry, an American-style fridge, an additional dishwasher, double larders, and a generous wine storage area. Both the kitchen and pantry benefit from underfloor heating and air conditioning, ensuring practicality meets style in every detail.
Step through the kitchen doors and discover a generous, covered outdoor dining terrace running the full length of the house — the ideal setting for al fresco meals and relaxed gatherings. Stone-framed windows and rustic finishes reinforce the home’s authentic Quinta character. Off this terrace sits a versatile room currently used as a library or study, complete with wooden floors, air conditioning, and its en-suite shower room — easily transformed into a comfortable Bedroom 2.
Descending a few steps leads you into the guest wing, designed with privacy and comfort in mind. Bedroom 3 and Bedroom 4 are both spacious doubles with en-suite bathrooms and direct garden and pool access, offering peaceful retreats for visitors. Bedroom 5, positioned beneath the poolside terrace, also includes an en-suite and air conditioning, with direct access to the pool area. Bedroom 6, the main guest suite, shares similar features, making it a luxurious and inviting stay for guests.
Adding yet another layer of flexibility, a self-contained guest annex features a fitted kitchen and sitting room with air conditioning. This space could easily serve as a seventh bedroom and offers stunning countryside views through patio doors that open to the poolside.
Throughout the home, traditional terracotta tile floors blend seamlessly with modern comforts like air conditioning and underfloor heating. Every room has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, reflecting the current owners’ impeccable care and attention to detail.
This is not just a house — it is a peaceful, private retreat where every corner tells a story. A place where the soul of the Algarve is felt in every breeze and sunset, where gardens invite quiet reflection, and where moments with family and friends become cherished memories.
In addition to the villa and landscaped gardens spanning 3,850m², the property features an adjoining agricultural plot of approximately 4,500m², bringing the total area to 8,350m². This added expense enhances the sense of exclusivity and seclusion, offering the ultimate in private, countryside living.
We warmly welcome you to experience this exceptional home for yourself — to wander its gardens, feel the tranquillity of its spaces, and embrace a lifestyle defined by beauty, peace, and understated luxury.
