In a hillside setting behind Olhos de Agua, this welcoming house enjoys huge panoramas across miles of countryside to the coast beyond. Within the villa there is a well equipped kitchen, and a spacious dining area is open-plan to the sitting room, where comfy sofas cluster around a fireplace and TV.

Three double bedrooms include the master suite, complete with large Jacuzzi bath; and there is one twin room and a fifth bedroom flexibly furnished for twin or double use. All are stylishly uncluttered and have en suite bath or shower room; and the house has WiFi, air conditioning and central heating throughout, terracotta tiled floors liberally sprinkled with rugs, and contemporary décor in cool neutral tones.

An airy games room completes the picture, with TV, pool table and table football; complemented outdoors by a size able swimming pool, children’s pool and private tennis court. And al fresco living is enhanced by lawned gardens, a dining terrace and a summer kitchen.

The smart and stylish Vista Bonita is just 1.5 km from shops and restaurants, 14km from beaches along the Albufeira shoreline, and 7km from the nearest golf course.
