Plot 10
The renowned architect Siza Vieira, responsible for the project of this villa, highlighted the connection of the villa to the east orientation, recognizing that it is in this direction that the relationship with the Óbidos Lagoon is established.
The view from the main rooms of the villa naturally directs towards the Lagoon and the Golf Course, thus giving meaning to the geographical order and the concept of the Resort – the symbiosis between architecture and nature.
Enjoy this charming private villa, spacious and bright, consisting of 3 bedrooms overlooking the garden and pool, and decorated in a modern and contemporary style. Fully equipped and with a private pool, this villa offers the ideal setting for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
