Many people say that the best thing about living in the Algarve is being outside, with this property that notion will seriously be put to the test. Once you see the stylish interiors and statement finishings inside this villa, you may never want to go outside again. But if you do, the gardens, pool and views will also have you saying wow for years to come.

Located in a peaceful, hillside location, this south-facing, family villa is within walking distance of the village of Santa Bárbara and all its amenities, restaurants and bars. As you enter the plot of the property through the electric gates the calçada driveway has ample parking for a number of vehicles and ends with the double garage. Entering the villa itself the hallway is impressive and sets the tone for the rest of the property.

The large open plan, south-facing living room and dining area are flooded with natural light, thanks to large picture windows and patio doors on both sides of the space. As a focal point on one side of the living room is the glass-fronted, Fogo Montana wood burner, and on the other are the large statement patio doors which open out onto the impressive covered terrace, garden and pool beyond. The dining area is large and is the perfect spot to entertain family and friends. Moving into the fully fitted, equipped kitchen via a set of double doors, there is a large central island which offers everyone a great spot to have breakfast or just catch up after a day on the golf, at the beach or chilling by the pool. Cooking in this kitchen will be a chef's dream with plenty of granite work surfaces, storage and top-of-the-range integrated appliances on hand.

Also on the ground floor is the guest wing of the villa - housing 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a fully equipped laundry. Two of the bedrooms are ensuite and the third has use of the large family bathroom. All have fitted wardrobes and are light, bright and airy.

However, wait until you see what we have in store for you upstairs. On the first floor of this property is the master bedroom with its stunning ensuite bathroom. The bedroom itself is large and has a myriad of fitted wardrobes as well as a private south-facing balcony so that you can soak up the amazing views while you are getting ready to go out, relaxing after coming home, or getting ready for bed after another great day in the Algarve. The en-suite bathroom is fantastic. Its dark granite statement wall and walk-in shower ooze with style and sophistication. The twin vanity units, bath set in granite and ceramics and the wall-mounted towel rail finish the ensuite perfectly.

Outside, the covered terrace area is striking and is ideal for entertaining and enjoying some alfresco dining or just getting out of the Algarve summer sun for a few hours. The walkways down to the pool are immaculate and are surrounded by green, artificial lawns and landscaped trees. The pool has a tile surround and has plenty of space for sun loungers, towels or a table and chairs. It also has an electric solar cover. There is also a shady seating area under the trees next to the pool if you need a rest bite from the heat.

With the hills of the Algarve as your backdrop and sweeping vistas down to the coast in front of you, this property is in a prime location. Completely walled, private and with only a few neighbours dotted around this is the perfect family forever home.

With air conditioning throughout, mains water, underfloor heating, double glazing, an alarm, BBQ and an electric intercom system this villa is simply stunning.
