A Açoteia is located in a peaceful location 4 kms from the sea and 7 kms from Tavira, one of the most architecturally attractive towns in the Algarve, with origins dating back to around 2.000 BC. The area is popular for its beautiful unpopulated, sandy beaches that seem to go on forever, fields of orange trees, heavy with the scent of blossom, and houses with dazzling whitewashed walls and distinctive chimneys decorated to resemble fine lace. The only possible disturbance here could be the infrequent service from the small railway line which runs approximately 150 meters away from the property.
The property is set within a small plantation of fruit trees with distant views of the Ria Formosa estuary (a natural park in south-eastern Algarve). The grounds are totally enclosed, with a secure gate entrance, and thee villa is surrounded by decked terraces and a rock garden. The cascade swimming pool (10 x 4m) is accessed by Roman steps. A charming round 'gazebo' provides a spacious, shaded and cool area for relaxing by the pool, with curtains for keeping the heat out during the hottest hours of the day, and lighting for spending the evenings outdoors. Due to some unprotected drops around the swimming pool, very young children would have to be watched carefully.
The comfortable interiors are decorated in blue sea and sky colours, and the outdoor areas have been designed for enjoying the great Algarve weather. There is a shaded sitting/dining terrace with barbecue area on the ground floor, plus a covered roof terrace on the first floor. There are two bedroom suites on the ground floor, the master bedroom and a twin bedroom, with garden access. There are 2 further bedrooms upstairs (one twin and one with double bunks) sharing a bathroom. The beds have mosquito nets and the house is fitted with ceiling fans and air-conditioning/central heating throughout. Further amenities include , satellite TV, DVD player, surround sound system and hair dryers in all the bathrooms.
