Villa of 3 bedroom in luxury condominium, closed, with beautiful gardens and large pool, in the final stages of construction.

The property is located in a quiet and privileged area of the Algarve, between Alcantarilha and Silves, 1 km from the Golf course, 7 km from the beach, 50 km from Faro airport.

The villa is composed as follows:

In the RDC you will find a hallway, service bathroom, large living room, fully equipped and modern kitchen, private terrace with barbecue and with access to the garden and swimming pool.

A beautiful staircase leads to the first floor where you will find 3 bedrooms {1 en suite} with built-in wardrobes, bathroom with bath, balconies and small hall.

All villas have a closed basement with parking and storage room and are equipped with air-conditioning, electric shutters and double glazing.

The condominium consists of 22 semi-detached villas, distributed over 3 separate blocks, providing greater privacy.

The Algarve borders the Alentejo region (Alentejo Litoral and Baixo Alentejo sub-regions) to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the south and west, and the Guadiana River to the east marks the border with Spain. The highest point is in the Monchique mountains, with a maximum altitude of 902 m (Pico da Foia).

Besides Faro, the towns of Albufeira, Lagoa, Lagos, Loulé, Olhão, Portimão, Quarteira, Silves, Tavira and Vila Real de Santo António are also classified as towns. Of these, all are county councils with the exception of Quarteira.

The western part of the Algarve is called Barlavento and the eastern part Sotavento. The name is certainly due to the prevailing wind along the southern coast of the Algarve, and the historical origin of this division is uncertain and quite remote. In ancient times, the Romans considered the region of Cape Tunnel - which ran from Mértola through Vila Real de Santo António to the inlet of Armação de Pêra - and the region of the Sacred Promontory - which covered the rest of the Algarve - to be in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
