This home is a truly exceptional residence set in the enchanting village of Vale Judeu, Central Algarve. Ideally positioned just minutes from the "Golden" coastline and Faro International Airport, this captivating 5/6 Bed villa with 3/4 reception rooms combines timeless Portuguese charm with refined, bespoke design.
As you arrive, a striking white wall and elegant entrance gates reveal a tree-lined driveway, setting the scene for the serenity that awaits. There is a truly traditional Quinta feel to the Courtyard which is finished in traditional calçada, a spacious double garage with cupboard storage, and a practical log store. Mature tree specimens, sculptural olive pots, and multiple secluded garden nooks surround the property, all within a securely gated plot – ideal for those with pets. Just off this area there is also a separate household laundry room and an additional separate outbuilding, away from the main house.
Step through the main Villa entrance into a welcoming hallway, where traditional cane ceilings immediately evoke the essence of traditional Algarvean architecture – a feature carried throughout the villa. A stylish guest cloakroom and separate coat room are neatly tucked away, while the crisp white plaster walls and thoughtfully curated interiors reflect a tasteful blend of styles.
Double doors open to a breathtaking open-plan Living Room and entertaining area, bathed in natural light, which also leads straight out to the stunning garden. To the left, a cosy yet sophisticated sitting area with a wood-burning closed fire. There is also air conditioning. On the right, a few steps down lead to the formal Dining Room area, framed by panoramic patio doors also opening to the lush gardens. The space is beautifully anchored by solid wood ceiling beams and the signature cane finish above.
From here, a few steps guide you to the show-stopping Master Suite (Bedroom 1), a private sanctuary thoughtfully designed to offer complete privacy even when the home is full of guests. With its own Sitting Room area, dual dressing rooms and spacious, light-filled en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating, the suite flows seamlessly to its own private courtyard, as well as the main garden and pool area, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor retreat. There is air conditioning in both rooms.
To the opposite side of the villa, just off the dining area, lies the heart of the home – a stunning, fully equipped Kitchen. Traditional brick vaulted ceiling craftsmanship steals the show here, enhancing the room’s warm, welcoming ambience. Whether hosting a summer barbecue or a cosy winter dinner party, this kitchen delivers on both form and function. A linked separate pantry, American-style fridge, additional dishwasher, two double larders, and an extensive wine storage area make entertaining a dream. Both Kitchen and Pantry have underfloor heating and air conditioning.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, step through the kitchen patio doors to discover a generous, covered outdoor dining space, running the length of the house, the perfect spot for al fresco living. Here, the authentic character of this Portuguese Quinta becomes even more evident, with charming stone-framed windows and rustic finishes. Off this covered terrace sits a large Library/Study or office with air conditioning, wooden floor and ensuite shower room. It is currently used as a tranquil workspace, but easily convertible into Bedroom 2.
A few steps down reveals a beautifully arranged guest wing, comprising several inviting bedroom suites.
· Bedroom 3 is a spacious double and ensuite bathroom with direct access to the garden and pool
· Bedroom 4 mirrors this layout, offering a serene and elegant guest retreat.
· Bedroom 5, tucked beneath the poolside terrace, with ensuite bathroom and air conditioning , opens directly onto the pool area.
· Bedroom 6 - Main Guest suite with ensuite bathroom and air conditioning opens directly onto the pool area.
Adding even more flexibility, a guest annex currently designed with fitted Kitchen and Sitting Room with air conditioning could provide you with Bedroom 7 option, complete with panoramic countryside views and patio doors leading to the poolside.
Throughout the villa, traditional terracotta tile flooring is complemented by modern air conditioning/heating. Each space has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners, showcasing an evident pride of ownership.
This is more than a home – it’s a private haven, a true Algarvean gem and a place where unforgettable memories are made.
We warmly invite you to explore this beautiful home, wander the magical gardens, feel the calm of the countryside, and soak in the views over the sun-drenched orange groves.
In addition to the 3,850m2 of the villa & gardens there is a further piece of agricultural land, approx. 4,500m2, which comes with this property. This gives you a total sqm of 8,350m2 by having this additional land it further provides you with the ultimate private residence.
Vale Judeu offers a rare blend of authenticity and accessibility – a peaceful village nestled among rolling hills and citrus groves, yet only moments from the prestigious resorts of Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, and Vilamoura with its harbour, international school and private hospital.
