## Space
Set on a picturesque hillside, this stunning holiday home is entered from the upper north-facing level, where the living area offers spectacular views. This level features a spacious living room with a dining area and patio doors that open onto a balcony – an ideal spot for al fresco dining while soaking in the scenic beauty. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with an integrated fridge-freezer, electric oven, hob, dishwasher, and washing machine. A guest toilet and a convenient storage cupboard are located off the entrance hall.
Descending the stairs, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms. The master suite includes flexible 'zip & link' beds, a private en-suite bathroom, built-in wardrobes, and patio doors leading to a secluded terrace. The second bedroom also opens onto the terrace and features ample built-in storage. A spacious bathroom with a bathtub and overhead shower is also on this level. The private terrace, accessible from both bedrooms, is surrounded by lush hedges for added privacy and features a cobblestone area with a stone table and benches, enhanced by vibrant bottlebrush trees.
The property’s mature gardens are threaded with winding pathways that lead to the communal pools, heated for much of the year. For golf enthusiasts, the Santo António Golf Course is just a 2-minute drive away, while the pristine beaches of Salema and Boca do Rio are reachable in under 5 minutes by car.
This home is a perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility near a golf course and within 3 kilometers of Salema, a charming coastal village with a golden sandy beach. Other nearby destinations, such as Burgau and Praia da Luz, are just a 10-minute drive away, along with the stunning surfing beaches of Portugal’s West Coast.
