A recently renovated gem, Vista Azul is a beautiful villa to unwind and relax in tranquil authentic Algarvian countryside whilst still being close to essential amenities, local highlights and transport links. With views to the distant sea, spacious outdoor stone terraces to snooze or sunbathe, combined with a good sized pool from which to relax, Vista Azul is a quintessentially Portuguese family holiday villa. Three modern bedrooms in the main house are comfortable and fashioned with beautiful tiled floors. The living space features high whitewashed wooden beamed ceilings and clever use of natural and inset lighting to help create a sumptuous atmosphere both inside and out.
