About this place

Outstanding, tastefully renovated 4-bedroom villa in Fazenda Santiago

Tucked away within the exclusive, gated enclave of Fazenda Santiago, near the Vale do Lobo Golf and Beach Resort, this immaculately renovated villa offers a rare blend of authentic Algarve character, contemporary comfort and absolute accessibility.

Set across three floors, the property has been thoughtfully transformed to respect its traditional roots while delivering a rare level of modern efficiency. The result is a home that feels both timeless and quietly forward-thinking, equally suited to full-time living, multi-generational family use or a refined holiday residence.

From the moment you step inside, the villa’s personality is revealed. The entrance hall is defined by the striking double-height restored Portuguese brickwork ceilings, gently illuminated to highlight the craftsmanship and set the tone for the rest of the home, where original features and contemporary detailing sit side by side effortlessly.

The main living area is light, calm and welcoming, centred around a wood-burning fireplace and framed by sliding doors that open directly on to the pool terrace and gardens. The formal dining area flows naturally within the open-plan layout, leading through to the heart of the home, a bespoke Bulthaup kitchen, designed for both everyday living and relaxed entertaining. The kitchen extends into a breakfast and informal dining area with direct access to the outdoor patio, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Adjacent to the kitchen is a fully equipped laundry room with access to a private courtyard.

Accommodation is generously arranged to suit a variety of lifestyles. The principal suite occupies the first floor, offering complete privacy with a walk-through dressing area, en suite bathroom and two private terraces. Two further bedroom suites are located on the ground floor, alongside a third bedroom, which has been converted into a state-of-the-art home office/study.

The lower floor further enhances the villa’s flexibility, making it particularly well suited to hosting guests, extended family or staff without compromising comfort or independence. This level includes an additional bedroom suite with natural light and direct access to a patio, as well as a spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace, offering the option of a cinema lounge or an independent guest retreat. All benefiting from natural light and exterior access. A guest WC, generous storage areas and a double garage complete this level.

Versatility is a defining feature of the property, further enhanced by a full internal lift serving all three floors, a rare and valuable feature for properties of this type. Combined with the complete absence of steps or thresholds throughout the house, terraces and pool area, the villa offers true, future-proof accessibility for all ages and mobility levels.

Outdoors, south-west-facing terraces wrap around a newly installed heated swimming pool, complete with an in-pool deck and a safe, comfortable depth. The surrounding gardens have been landscaped with water-wise planting and low maintenance in mind, creating a private, elegant setting for al fresco dining, entertaining or quiet afternoons in the sun.

Energy efficiency has also been prioritised, with underfloor heating (where necessary), ducted air-conditioning, heat-recovery ventilation, solar hot water and an A-rated energy certificate, ensuring year-round comfort with reduced running costs.
