Villa Quinta

Unusually for Quinta do Lago, the design of this villa is more akin to the traditional architecture of an Alentejo farmhouse. But therein lies the appeal. This charming one-storey property is built to a U-shaped configuration, with floor plans based on a series of inter-connecting rooms that face a central courtyard with a fountain. Bougainvillea and other flowering plants add colour and verve, and the rural signature is tangible. A warm, rustic ambiance radiates from the lounge, a quality enhanced by the signature fireplace set in a hearth of polished granite. The adjoining library is remarkable for its expanse of natural wood shelving, where there’s space for 2000 books! The master bedroom features twin double beds and ensuite bath and a shower room adorned with decorative tile panelling. A walk-in wardrobe is large enough to be converted into a second shower room if so desired. A second ensuite bedroom is reached via a connecting door and leads to an office. On the other side of the courtyard is a brightly decorated guest apartment. The heart of this rustic home is the country-style kitchen – a robust and professional cooking environment fully equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and authentic coppers utensils that ably serve the dining room. An enticing swimming pool lies in a mature garden that has access to a private lake at the rear of the property. A border hedge affords a good degree of privacy.
