This week the property we have chosen is an exclusive lakeside villa in Quinta do Lago, in the Algarve. The stunning architecture of Vasco Viera gives the home a unique façade and an awe-inspiring interior with staggered levels, floating staircases, and walkways overlooking the living area. Close to coast, but also built up areas with plenty of amenities, this property is perfect for a life of relaxation and luxury on the southern coast of Portugal.

With just under 1,000m2 of built space, eight bedrooms suites and a total of nine bathrooms, the villa has more space than almost anyone could need, and yet, outdoors it offers even more, with 2,450m2 of gardens and terraces, leading right down to the lakefront. The white walls, broken only by stunningly finished wood and floor to ceiling windows around most of the exterior and even some interior rooms, light not only reaches every corner of the house, it bouces around and makes the space feel truly expansive.

On the ground floor we can find a bright entrance hall from the main door, with an attached cloakroom, a fully fitted & equipped “Valcucine” Italian kitchen with glass walls on two sides giving stunning views of the lake, a formal dining area, and a double height living room, all on slightly different levels which helps to differentiate between the sections of the open plan space. There is also a small TV "snug" and three of the bedroom suites with their own terraces on this floor.

Upstairs is the large master suite as well as a guest suite, both with astounding views over the lake. There is also access to the roof terrace which boasts a plunge pool with lake and sea views, a lowered sitting area and an outdoor kitchen/bar. The remaining bedroom suites are situated on the lower floor along with a gym, spa area (with sauna, Hammam & massage room), indoor pool, a spacious games room with bar, an office, a laundry room, and the garage.

It doesn´t come much better than this if you are thinking about a life in the Algarve. Why not choose to live in a house that is practically a work of art in and of itself. This villa is for sale now on idealista for 12,500,000 euros.
