About this place

Spectacular, elegantly renovated 4-bedroom villa in Vale Formonso, Algarve Set on a landscaped corner plot within The Crest development in Vale Formoso, this thoughtfully upgraded three-plus-one bedroom villa offers space, privacy, and everyday comfort just minutes from the heart of the Almancil–Loulé Golden Triangle. Renowned resorts, local amenities, and the area’s leading international schools are all within a short drive, making this an ideal location for families, retirees, and international buyers seeking a well-connected Algarve base. Recent improvements have transformed the home. At its centre is a newly fitted, contemporary kitchen, complemented by refreshed bathrooms and a completely redesigned pool terrace with a re-tiled swimming pool. The open-plan dining and living area on the ground floor flows naturally to the BBQ terrace, equipped with a drinks fridge, pizza oven, and generous al-fresco dining space overlooking the pool, an inviting setting for long summer evenings. This level also includes a bright guest bedroom with built-in wardrobes, positioned beside a modern shower room that doubles as the guest cloakroom. Upstairs, the principal bedroom and third bedroom, both en suite and equipped with fitted wardrobes, offer access to a private terrace featuring distant sea views across the Algarve coastline, as well as a practical study area on the same floor. The lower level adds versatility and space. Here you’ll find the garage, an equipped laundry room, a comfortable fourth bedroom with wardrobes, a spacious shower room, and a light and bright snug opening directly to the pool terrace, making this an ideal room for both summer and winter living. Outside, the generously sized pool is framed by sun terraces, seating areas, a calming water feature, and mature hedging, while the fully fenced boundaries enhance the sense of seclusion. The property combines quiet surroundings with excellent rental potential and year-round liveability within one of the Algarve’s most established neighbourhoods.
