This week the property we will be looking at is a stunning villa in the Quinta do Lago resort, in the heart of the Algarve. Barely a stone's throw from the beach, with magnificent views of the sea and the Ria Formosa, this property embodies the luxurious life in the sun that this stretch of southern Portugal is famous for. With space to spare and an amazing array of amenities, this home would be perfect for a large family to enjoy the life that the Algarve has to offer. 

There are many reasons to consider a home in this part of Portugal, and you can be sure that with over a 1,000m2 of space over the two floors, and over 8,000m2 of land surrounding it, whatever reason it is that compels you to buy it, this villa will satisfy. The property offers it all; from health and relaxation in the gym, sauna, and turkish bath, or some sports on the tennis court, to the simple pleasure of the Algarve: a walk to the beach.

As you enter the property you will find a cavernous, open-plan, living area and dining room, boasting a stone fireplace, excuisite chandeliers, and impressive columns gently dividing the space, while several sets of double doors leading to the terrace and gardens flood the room with natural light. Off of this entrance we can find a separate leisure room, set up with couches, an elegant bar, and a pool table. Completing the ground floor, there is a gorgeous, fully equiped kitchen which also leads out to the outdoor space.

Climbing the stairs by the main door leads to a beautiful landing, with a walkeway above the entrance to a terrace that looks out on the fountain in the driveway. The landing connects to the ten bedrooms in the house, each an impressive size with its own bathroom, and several with their own terraces. In addition to all of the mentioned amenities, the outside space has a phenomenal terrace with an infinity pool, well kept gardens, covered areas for outside dining, a playground for the children, and even a tennis court. The home also boasts a top quality automation and surveillance system, so you can stay in complete control of the property at the touch of a button. 

What more could you ask for in a family home, than sunshine, space, views, and all the amenities you would expect in a luxury home. So if a life in the Algarve is for you, have a look at this property: it is for sale on idealista for 14,500,000 euros.
