Owning a property to use as a hideaway for some rest and relaxation has many advantages. You can rent out the property when you don’t need it and at the end of your working life, you might want to retire to your own private bolthole in the sun. With this in mind, you may not want to own an apartment, but have a sunny villa with a garden to come home to. The trick is to find somewhere that not only suits your pocket, but will be your refuge and your sanctuary. A location that’s not filled with tourists, but will still attract renters. We have found a few such properties for you to admire.
Unspoilt Aljezur
Situated in the Vale da Telha area, on the far west coast of the Algarve, is this single story, three bedroom villa with two bathrooms (one en-suite). The kitchen is modern and bright with a large breakfast bar. The spacious, open plan living and dining rooms lead to the terrace and swimming pool. A low maintenance garden which has its own water well, a BBQ with dining area and a garage, are all enclosed in a 770m2 manageable plot.
This is a perfect spot to escape to the country and relax.
Within walking distance of the town of Carvoeiro and its beaches, this villa is situated in a quiet, peaceful area. The living and dining areas feature a wood burning fire and lead onto the terrace and swimming pool, which has its own shower. The bedrooms are all a good size with fitted wardrobes. One bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a shower room is shared by the two remaining bedrooms. The kitchen is fully fitted and has direct access to a courtyard and outside storage areas.
A staircase from the courtyard leads to the roof terrace with its stunning views. There’s a poolside BBQ and terraces for dining and sunbathing. The fully fenced plot is 1,060m2, complete with garage and mature gardens.
Just minutes’ walk from Vale de Milho golf course, this area has the best of all worlds and is ideal for rentals.
This cosy cottage is set in the hills above Vilamoura, close to the village of Boliqueime. Featuring wood ceilings, this is a modern home comprising a lounge with a wood burning fire, dining room and fitted, airy kitchen. The two bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and air conditioning and are both en-suite. The gardens are partially landscaped and the pool has sunbathing terraces with a BBQ area for al fresco dining. There’s also a handy outside storage room for all those pool toys and garden furniture and cushions.
This lovely cottage is a snip for either the first time buyer or retirees and is great for summer rentals.
Tranquil spot close to the village – Querença, Loulé
The plot for this villa is 874m2, but comes with another plot of 1,565m2 which includes a borehole. The villa itself provides 194m2 of covered area and has three bedrooms with parquet flooring and three bathrooms (two en-suite). The rustic kitchen has a fireplace and is fully fitted with a beamed ceiling. The living/dining room has a wood burning fire and there’s a separate sitting room. There’s also a loft/attic for storage. Outside is a swimming pool, covered terrace for dining and a wood storage area. The garden has an orchard of tropical fruit trees with automatic irrigation.
Situated close to the village where there are cafes, restaurants and a supermarket, it is nevertheless a quiet and tranquil area in the countryside.
Nestling in the hills above the town of Tavira is a stone farmhouse that has been converted into a two bedroom cottage. Sitting on a 752m2 plot of land, this cottage is full of charm and character with many of the original features in place. There are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room with a wood burner, a dining room and a kitchen, all built on a split level. Outside is a lovely BBQ area with super seating on a large covered terrace.
Air conditioning and central heating make for a cosy cottage all year round.
With property prices in the Algarve set to rise, it’s a wise person who will make their investment now. Tourism is on the rise too in this popular sunny region, and will undoubtedly be a boon to help with your costs. Retirement may be in the distant future, but it will be a far safer and more comfortable retirement with a lovely home ready and waiting for you to enjoy.
These villas, ranging from west to east, are just a small selection from over 14,000 properties on Meravista and it is well worth your time to browse through them. There are many articles on the site to help you choose where you would like to settle and give you an idea of what’s on offer. Read them and you’ll be transported into the sun filled world that is the Algarve.
