Plot 153

With a sublime view of the plot’s garden and swimming pool, the one-bedroom villas on two floors, designed by architects Madalena Menezes and Teixeira Bastos, are decorated in a sophisticated and comfortable way and fully equipped to welcome you.

On the main floor is the entrance to the villa with a small garden, leading inside to the kitchen, living room and shared bathroom. In the living room you’ll find a wood-burning stove that provides a unique atmosphere on cooler days, as well as a balcony with a table and chairs for two, where on summer days you can enjoy a drink while taking in the colours of the sunset.

On the lower floor you’ll find a large suite with a bathroom, dressing room and balcony, through which you can access the garden and pool.

Open the window and breathe in the incomparable fresh air for a feeling of connection with the outdoors. Take a dip in the pool on the plot, relax on the lawn and enjoy an unobstructed view of the resort landscape.

Plot 215D

When you arrive at this plot of townhouses, you’ll find fully furnished terraces, providing an ideal space to relax and enjoy the gardens surrounded by nature. Next to the terrace you’ll also find a covered area for parking cars, which also provides access to the plot’s swimming pool and communal garden.

Inside the villa you’ll first find a large living room, with access to the dining room only separated by two steps. Through the entrance hall or direct access from the dining room, you’ll find the fully equipped kitchen, which also offers access to the pool and garden, which has been phenomenally landscaped.

On the upper floor of this villa designed by Madalena Menezes and Teixeira Bastos, there are three bedrooms, two of which share a bathroom. The third has a private bathroom, but all of them have generous areas and are decorated in warm, sophisticated colours.

These villas are similar to the villas on plot 215 by the same architects, but in this case in duplex format.

Plot 215S

In the townhouses designed by Madalena Menezes and Teixeira Bastos, simplex version, the architects sought to create a more cosy and functional villa.

Upon entering, you’ll find the living room and dining room, decorated in soft, uniform colours, conveying a unique sense of harmony.

The fully equipped kitchen is separate from the other rooms and also has a storage area and a pantry. Opposite these rooms are the three bedrooms. Two of them share a bathroom, while the third has a private bathroom.

The spacious terrace, located at the rear of the house with access from the living room, is furnished for dining outside or simply relaxing, offering access to the plot’s communal swimming pool. Enjoy a swim and soak up the sun, immersed in the natural beauty around you.
