São Brás de Alportel, magnificent traditional quinta, carefully renovated, with 4 en-suite bedrooms, heated saltwater swimming pool

São Brás de Alportel, magnificent single-storey, 4-bedroom quinta, all en suite, completely renovated and modernised by an architect in 2016-2017, with lovely views of the valley and the sea, south-facing, with attractive outdoor spaces, beautiful heated saltwater swimming pool, set in a very attractive, carefully designed garden with numerous hedges and mature trees.

The electric gate opens onto a traditionally designed calçada parking area with space for three cars. The deliberate use of different textures in the design is immediately apparent: white-painted walls, hand-built natural stone walls, Algarve tiles on the terraces, wooden trellis panels, tall cypress trees, narrow-leaved palm trees and well-trimmed hedges.

You enter through double doors into the spacious, fully-equipped kitchen and breakfast room, adjoining which is a large utility room, equipped with a large fridge and freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, with a door opening onto a patio terrace,
Beyond the kitchen is the large, light and airy all-in-one dining room and living room, from which two large double bedrooms can be found.

The master bedroom, fitted with beautifully designed wardrobes, has a good-sized en-suite bathroom. The large rear bedroom, which is surprisingly bright thanks to its Velux windows, is also fitted with similarly designed wardrobes and has a bathroom right next door.

Separate from, but connected to, the main house, you round the corner via designed walkways to access two conjoined independent suites, large bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms. They benefit from a private terrace and superb patio with raised beds filled with flowering shrubs and a charming fish pond with the tinkle of running water. This area is deliberately designed to allow guests to relax and enjoy their own independent, private space.

One of the highlights of the garden, located just in front of the main house, is a spacious covered terrace equipped with an Algarve barbecue and offering, to the west, a breathtaking view over the orchard, with its mature citrus and fig trees, to the sea.

Under the pool terrace, as well as housing the pool house, storage rooms and a separate toilet for pool users, there is a large air-conditioned room offering the possibility of an additional bedroom, office or gym. It has its own shower room and the necessary infrastructure already pre-installed.
All the main house and the two independent suites have underfloor heating and air conditioning (Daikin), and solar panels are installed to provide domestic hot water.

Photovoltaic panels are also installed on the roof to reduce electricity bills.
The work has been carried out to the highest professional standards and the attention to detail is second to none: every tiled floor is different and attractive, the bathroom tiles are eye-catching and a range of matching textures and colours are used throughout the house. Fibre optic broadband internet is installed.

This magnificent traditional Algarve quinta is the ideal property for those seeking independence and privacy from family and friends,
Situated just west of the market town of São Brás de Alportel, away from the main busy tourist centres, but within easy reach of beaches, golf courses, international schools, the main town of Faro, the airport and all the other facilities the Algarve has to offer.
