A newly furnished luxury family villa. Air conditioned, sleeps up to 8 people along with a private swimming pool. Sitting at the top of a small hill, the house has amazing views stretching to the hills and the sea. A view which is equally impressive at night with all the town lights and stars above across into the sea. The house is located no more than 15 minutes by car of some of the best beaches, golf courses, local markets, shopping centres and the old main town of Loule. The main road N125 and the A22 motorway, stretching the whole of the Algarve, are also both within 10 minutes’ drive of the villa. The heated/cooled pool make any time a good time for a dip. The back gardens of the property are maintained throughout the year with tropical plants, flowers and mature canopy trees, allowing for shady areas during the midday sun – a perfect place to relax in one of the hammocks. Bath and Swimming Pool Towles Provided

We are a family of four; Sergio, Sonia and our two rowdy girls, Amelie and Angela. We all currently live in London with our chocolate brown Labrador called Maia. Although we met in London both our families are originally from the north of Portugal, near a city called Braga, high up in the rural green mountains. Although it’s very different to the Algarve it’s an amazing area, with spectacular views, the weather is normally much cooler, although the summer can be just as hot as in the Algarve. As a family, we love our holidays and are fortunate to have travelled to many different countries and have stayed in many different places, and thus felt we wanted a holiday home from home. The Algarve is one of the sunniest places in Europe with over 300 days of sun a year, this together with the easy access from London, we felt that it was the perfect location. (Speaking the language also helped.) With a hectic lifestyle in London, running Absolute Translations Ltd our own translation services company , means we rarely get the chance to switch off, and coming here to Casa da Fonte does the trick!

Why this property? We recently purchased the villa in 2015, and completly re-furbished it in 2019. We fell in love with its character and charm. Sitting at the top of a small hill, the house has amazing views stretching to the hills and the sea. A view which is equally impressive at night with all the town lights and stars above, across into the sea. The location was always a big factor for us as we wanted a place with a view. We chose central Algarve because of the easy access to all different areas, restaurants and beaches. Santa Barbara de Nexe area offered us all this without being in the middle of traffic. The house is located no more than 15 minutes by car of some of the best beaches, golf courses, local markets, shopping centres and the old main town of Loule. The main road N125 and the A22 motorway, stretching the whole of the Algarve, are also both within 10 minutes’ drive of the villa. We also love that Casa da Fonte is a detached and contemporary villa with architecture that blends in with that of the traditional houses of the Algarve.
