A luxury villa par excellence, enjoying a fantastic seafront location in Algarve

Villa Alegria is a charming four-bedroom luxury property situated in Salema, a picturesque village in the most western part of Algarve in Portugal. This premium property enjoys a commanding cliff-top position overlooking the endless ocean. Built over several storeys, Villa Alegria boasts a contemporary design combining elegance, sophistication and deluxe facilities.

Among the outdoor amenities are the several terraces overlooking the ocean and the beach; however, the highlight has to be the rooftop terrace which boasts a heated swimming pool, as well as an outdoor dining and living area – an inviting place for guests to spend their mornings sipping coffee and watching the sea, or eating their alfresco dinners gazing at the stars while being caressed by the gentle breeze. The rooftop terrace is the perfect place for entertaining and hosting intimate mini-parties.

The interior of this luxury villa is decorated in a charming Mediterranean style featuring whites, blues and lilacs. There is an abundance of light flooding the interior thanks to the multiple sliding glass doors which blur the division between the indoor and outdoor environments.

The entrance level boasts two double bedrooms with en-suite facilities and individual dressing rooms. A staircase connects this level to the lower and first floors. On the lower floor, there is the third bedroom which boasts a double bed, en-suite facilities and a separate dressing room.

The first floor houses the open plan living, dining and kitchen area, as well as a beautifully appointed master bedroom. The entire space boasts aquatic accents, modern facilities and comfortable furnishings easing guests into a relaxed holiday state-of-mind.

Alegria is a superb villa where the beautiful views and the luxury facilities unite to create a unique backdrop for happy holidays.

About the area

Villa Alegria is located in Salema, a small village in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, in western Algarve. Salema is part of the Natural Park of south-west Alentejo.

The pretty village has sandy beaches and the descent into the water is gentle, making it a safe place for children to swim.

Salema has a couple of restaurants and bars serving local produce and there are also some gift shops and convenience stores.

The nearest towns are Sagres and Lagos. Sagres is sought out by tourists who wish to surf, hike or cycle because the conditions are great for such activities. Lagos, on the other hand, is famous for its walls which date as far back as the Roman times, when they were built by the Arabs to serve strategic security purposes.

Hiking enthusiasts should make it to Rota Vicentina, a pedestrianised area comprising 350 km of hiking routes, fully marked and divided into manageable 15-25 km paths.

In terms of sporting activities, the area is rich in opportunities both on water and on land: from surfing, diving, fishing, dolphin watching, boating, hiking, or cycling, there is something exciting for everyone to do.
