They are set in a very central, practical and easy to access location, close to Santa Catarina and Sao Bras de Alportel. They have been carefully restored 5 years ago by their current owners keeping traditional features such as high beamed ceilings, local Santa Catarina tile floors and an old bread oven.
The 2 properties are set in a 2-hectare plot with plenty of indigenous trees such as almonds, carobs and olives. The elevated position affords beautiful views over the valley. There is a pool above ground with an attractive decking area perfect for relaxing while enjoying the Algarvian countryside and bird watching.

Off the living room, going up a few steps is an en suite bedroom; there are a further 2 bedrooms, one larger one with studio kitchen and en suite bathroom; there is also a third bathroom.
The cottage is semi-detached. Entrance through a fully fitted kitchen and beyond a utility room. There are 2 other French windows leading onto the front terrace; one from the living room and one from the main bedroom.
