Villa Cento

Located in Lagos southwest of Portugal, the villa has countryside views but it is also very close to the historic town centre (only three kilometres away) and some of the Algarve’s best golden sandy beaches (the nearest is at three and a half kilometres). Modern and minimalist in style yet very well equipped, all 10 bedroom suites are air conditioned and individually furnished and have either a private balcony or a terrace, TVs, mini-bar, hair dryer, telephone and safe. But the property also boasts a communal bar area, a modern and fully equipped kitchen with open plan dining room, an outdoor terrace with barbecue for 'alfresco dining', a wine cellar where it is possible to arrange private wine tastings, a fully equipped gym, pool table/table tennis, an outdoor Jacuzzi and a sauna. The landscaped garden surrounding the villa totals 2,500 square metres and looks especially attractive when floodlit in the evenings, with the cascading Jacuzzi feeding into the swimming pool.

The town of Lagos and village of Praia da Luz nearby have a good choice of restaurants, bars and extensive nightlife. There are some lovely beaches to choose from in the area - the sunny Algarve coast (south and west) is the perfect location for practicing water sports from surfing, water skiing and windsurfing off the beach, to sailing, diving, deep-sea fishing, motor and sailboat cruises, centered round the bustling star Marina de Lagos. Golf is available close by at Boavista, Palmares and Parque da Floresta courses, as well as others further afield. Alternatively, jeep safaris, horseback riding, tennis, clay pigeon shooting, lawn bowling or micro-light flying can also be arranged.
