Modern and bright, this home in Algarve sure knows how to make an impression. Inside, you’ll find big statement pieces like the UFO fireplace and the crackled black wall alongside marble and leather furnishings that add a sophisticated touch to beach living. Though the inside is beautiful and spacious enough to give everyone the room they need to unwind, the outdoors is where the true magic happens. Find yourself outside early morning so you can claim the sunbed and spend the day reading your favourite holiday romance novel. When temperatures soar, the private swimming pool welcomes you in with a refreshing embrace, giving you the necessary reprieve to go back to sunbathing in one of the sun loungers right after. Dine alfresco out front and socialise on the covered terrace mere steps away from the pool. Get cosy in the egg chairs when you’re not defending your title on table football, and stay outside long after sunset to enjoy balmy evenings with a touch of stargazing. The beach lies a short drive away, and so does the Salgados golf course. Visit Portimão for the day and explore the marina and old quarter.
