About this place
Outstanding contemporary villa with timeless charm in Vale Formoso Set within a beautifully landscaped plot, this recently built villa blends elegant design with modern comfort, striking the perfect balance between sophistication and relaxed Algarve living. Expansive terraces create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, while large windows invite an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The open-plan layout unites the lounge, dining area, and a beautifully appointed kitchen — the true heart of the home. Designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, the kitchen features a generous island with a breakfast counter and premium appliances from BORA, AEG, and Liebherr. These areas flow naturally on to the covered terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and gatherings. A separate laundry room, conveniently accessed from the kitchen, adds to the practicality of the layout. The villa comprises four well-proportioned bedroom suites, each thoughtfully designed with refined en suite bathrooms and soothing neutral finishes. Three bedrooms are located on the first floor, including the principal suite, which features a private terrace and a walk-in dressing area. The fourth bedroom, situated on the ground floor, is ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The welcoming entrance hall also includes a guest WC with a featured marble wall and vanity. Attention to detail is evident throughout, with a cosy fireplace in the main lounge, a beautifully designed staircase, and defined living areas that create warmth and character. Outside, manicured gardens with fruit trees surround a large heated salt-water pool and sun-drenched terraces. An outdoor cooking station enhances the setting for al fresco entertaining and tranquil evenings beneath the Algarve sky. Fully gated and fenced, with a private driveway and single garage, this villa ensures both privacy and convenience. Ideally located moments from Almancil and within easy reach of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, it offers modern living infused with timeless charm in one of the Algarve’s most desirable areas.
