One of our most popular villas!
High above Vale de Parra, this is one of the most comfortable and attractive villas in our portfolio. Every detail and item of furniture and equipment as been chosen with care. The design encompasses both modern and Moorish; graceful archways and thick, whitewashed walls; a wide spiral staircase topped by a domed ceiling; beautiful fabrics enhance marble floored bedrooms. The fitted kitchen/utility/breakfast room is well equipped and the spacious sitting room has patio doors leading out to the terraces and pool, as do each of the downstairs bedrooms.
The pool dominates the colourful, landscaped garden and there are views over the surrounding valley to Galé Beach from both the pool area and the secluded roof terrace - we should warn you that this terrace has been the setting for three marriage proposals (all accepted!).
The garden has a tropical feel with extensive lawns and various exotic plants and trees. On several different levels, there are areas of privacy and the thatched pergolas give welcome shade to the swimming pool terrace. There is a gas barbecue at the side of the house with a sheltered dining area and views over the surrounding countryside to the Monchique Mountains. Numerous good restaurants are within a five minute drive of Terras Altas, for example São Domingos and O Marinheiro (both with vegetarian dishes available).
There is a garden fence separating the main house from the pool area making it safer for families with little ones.
Things we love...
"Terras Altas holds a special place in our villa collection, standing as one of our most popular properties since 1988! With so many clients who have adored and enjoyed it over the years, we’re confident you’ll fall in love with it too" - Ginnie, Managing Director
