Green Reflection

Holiday Rental Description

This home is the true definition of a countryside retreat. Tucked away overlooking an orchard in Alte, you’re surrounded by nature here. Aside from the orchard, the villa is wrapped in a mature garden with trees, shrubs and flowers providing the delicate floral scent you’ll pick up on the breeze as you stroll around the outdoor space. You’ll even find fig, olive, almond and carob trees dotted across the land – this is a home that packs as much beauty into the outdoors as possible.

Inside, you’ll find just as much luxury. Light and bright with pops of colour in the charming bedrooms, the whole interior just oozes elegance. We love the round dining area which adds so much character, sandwiched perfectly between the kitchen and living room. Climb the turned steel staircase with its automatic lighting helping you to see every step in the dim light, and you’ll discover two of the five bedrooms, including the master suite.

Wander outside and there’s more to this villa than the gardens. A sparkling blue pool invites you in for a dip, the perfect way to cool off from the Portuguese heat. Surrounding the pool there’s a selection of seating areas, so you can tuck yourself away in a spot of shade and lose yourself in your holiday read, or stretch out on a sun lounger and enjoy the quiet of nature that surrounds you. All you’ll hear is the simmering of the barbecue in your outdoor kitchen, as someone rustles up a delightful dinner.
