A beautiful newly renovated property that has all the modern conveniences whilst retaining many charming features of a bygone age. A property of distinction that would serve as a large family home, a business opportunity for rural tourism or even a retreat.
Located in a pretty village of Amorosa (which translates as loving) and just 5 minutes from the market town of São Bartolomeu de Messines and less than 15 minutes from the former Algarve capital of Silves, this unique cluster of accommodations have been wonderfully restored with style and great attention to detail. It is literally a work of art!
On entering one is immediately struck by the vintage tiles in the hallway and original internal doors which has now been complimented with brand new brushed aluminium doors and windows throughout.
There are two ensuite bedrooms one of them having a rolltop bath as a centrepiece. The beds, like all the furniture, are brand new and look well-proportioned in the room and even the linen has been embroidered with the original name of the property adding a classical touch. A guest toilet is conveniently located in the hall.
The kitchen is a cooks dream with plenty of workspace and fully equipped. There is a door that leads to a section of the garden where an old barrel recovered from the outbuilding acts a drink and snack table shaded by the orange trees. This part of the house has been opened up to create an open-plan living space thats flooded with natural light and that has defined lounge and dining areas. The double doors alongside the dining room give access to a covered terrace and to the rest of the accommodation.
There are stairs that lead to a large roof terrace with views of the surrounding countryside a great spot for star gazing. Below a technical room that houses the solar hot water tank and doubles up as a utility room with ample storage for laundry and cleaning products. There is a toilet for general outside use.
There are 4 accommodation units, one of them is a duplex apartment with a connecting door to a bedroom suite with an upper level with another bedroom and bathroom and downstairs it has a built-in kitchen with lounge and private sun terrace. The quality and execution of finish is continued through these guest accommodations with designer touches here and there.
A barn that once housed the tractor and is currently set up as a games room offers an opportunity to add to the outside space, such as an outside lounge or cinema room.
There is a great swimming pool converted from the water tank that has generous areas for sun-bathing and is closed off with a gate for safety. An impressive commissioned mural adorns the wall inspiring one to play and have fun.
The property is fully enclosed and has traditional cobblestones that have been laid to connect all external areas. A large table sits right in the middle of the courtyard, shaded by a sturdy pergola and served by the outside kitchen and BBQ.
These kinds of property, lovingly restored and with understated taste, dont come along very often. This is indeed a rare find.
