## Space

Set on a hillside, this exceptional holiday home is accessed from the upper north-facing level, where the living area enjoys breathtaking views. On this level, there is a spacious living room with a dining area and patio doors leading to a balcony – the perfect spot for summer meals while admiring the beautiful scenery. The kitchen is fully equipped with an integrated fridge-freezer, electric oven and hob, dishwasher, and washing machine. Off the entrance hall, there is a guest toilet and a storage cupboard.

Stairs lead down to the two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master suite features versatile 'zip & link' beds, a private en-suite bathroom, built-in wardrobes, and patio doors opening to a private terrace. The second bedroom also has access to the terrace and built-in storage. Additionally, there is a spacious family bathroom with a bathtub and overhead shower. The private terrace, accessible from both bedrooms, is surrounded by hedges for privacy and includes a generous cobbled area with a stone table and benches, complemented by beautiful bottlebrush trees at the rear.

Winding pathways meander through the mature gardens of the property, leading to the communal pools, which are heated for most of the year. The Santo António Golf Course is just a 2-minute drive away, and the stunning beaches of Salema and Boca do Rio can be reached in under 5 minutes by car.

This property is ideal for those seeking a relaxing getaway close to a golf course and only 3 kilometers from Salema, a coastal village known for its golden sandy beach. Other nearby resorts, such as Burgau and Praia da Luz, are a short 10-minute drive away, as are the beautiful surfing beaches of Portugal’s West Coast. For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding Costa Vicentina Natural Park is perfect for hiking, horse riding, mountain biking, and more.
