Authentic Quinta with Soul, Style and Coastal Views, for sale in Vale Formoso | Algarve

Tucked away behind a long, private driveway, this beautifully restored traditional Quinta immediately captivates with its sense of charm and timeless authenticity. Set in the tranquil hills of Vale Formoso, just ten minutes from the Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo resorts, this residence is the perfect balance between countryside seclusion and convenient access to the Algarve’s most prestigious amenities.

Set on an expansive 2,225m² plot, the farmhouse sits in an elevated position with panoramic views stretching across the Algarve countryside to the coastline. It’s a timeless retreat that exudes character from every corner - an idyllic escape for those seeking something truly unique.

Step through the grand, antique wooden front door into a stunning double-height entrance hall where character meets craftsmanship. Soaring ceilings with exposed wooden beams frame the space, while a well-positioned picture window draws the eye to the hillside beyond. Natural light floods the home, revealing terracotta and original stone flooring, hand carved stone cornices, and textures that tell a story of thoughtful restoration. This is enhanced by wooden ceiling beams, arched brick surrounds and traditional Portuguese elements dating back to 1894, which echo the home’s heritage and create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The heart of the home unfolds in the kitchen area, a charming yet highly functional space featuring a range cooker with gas hob and a Shaws sink looking out toward the sea. Traditional archways lead through to the sociable breakfast bar and snug area, creating a perfect hub for everyday living and informal gatherings. From here, the home opens into an expansive living and dining zone with one of the property’s most impressive features: a large window offering uninterrupted vistas to the coast. This space effortlessly extends onto a shaded terrace, complete with a Beefeater BBQ, alfresco dining area and exterior lounge. Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying quiet family evenings, the atmosphere is effortlessly relaxed and inviting.

The main living room showcases a spectacular original fireplace, now fitted with a log burner set on a grand stone surround, a perfect centrepiece for cosy winter evenings. A separate utility room by the rear entrance, underfloor heating, central radiator heating and solar panels ensures practicality and year-round comfort.

The property comprises 4 bedrooms, with a layout that is ideal for hosting guests or family. An upstairs bedroom captures expansive countryside views, while there are three further bedrooms on the ground floor. One spacious bedroom offers direct access to the garden and pool, whilst a cosy adjoining lounge creates a comfortable guest suite, or could easily be converted into a fifth bedroom if needed.

Outdoors, the home presents a serene retreat for relaxation. A heated 9m x 5m private swimming pool with an electric cover is framed by manicured gardens, an exterior lounge pergola and breathtaking countryside views, whilst two gated entrances enhance both privacy and convenience.

The setting in Vale Formoso is peaceful yet connected, providing the perfect balance of seclusion and access. Vale Formoso is a sought-after hillside enclave, appreciated for its natural beauty and proximity to golf, beaches, and world-class amenities - all of which are just a short drive away. Here, you’ll find a lifestyle of quiet sophistication.
