In a grand project by Architect Manuel Aires Mateus, this spacious white house surrounded by rectangular shapes invites you to spend an unforgettable vacation.
As you pass through the design glass door, which becomes the most striking element of the house, you will find a spacious living room with large windows overlooking the fantastic garden with a private pool. On the right side, you will find a social bathroom, the dining room and then the kitchen with a fantastic island where you can prepare meals for the whole family.

On the opposite side, you will find spacious and bright bedrooms, separated by several storage cabinets arranged in the linear hallway. All of them have private bathrooms to provide you with all the necessary comfort during your stay.

In the garden, you can spend fun and relaxing afternoons in total privacy, either in the fantastic generously sized pool or in the leisure area where you can find sofas and loungers.
