Casa Cabanas - Sette Camere da Letto Villa, Ospiti Massimo 15

Perched high and solitary on a stunning cliffside overlooking the azure Atlantic Ocean, Casa Cabanas is an exquisite seven-bedroom retreat generously accommodating 15 guests. Spread over three floors, this Algarve getaway was designed by renowned Portuguese architect Frederico Valsassina and is the epitome of a coastal haven, complete with direct access to surfing beaches and scenic surrounds.

Entering the villa on its central floor, guests are greeted by spacious interiors made sleek by minimalist design and bright by panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows ushering in floods of natural light – hereby establishing Casa Cabanas's characteristic blend of architectural sophistication and oceanic beauty. Immediately, guests will find an L-shaped living and dining room which also incorporates an open-plan kitchen. With plush sofas just waiting to be sunk into, expansive dining table, and tasteful touches of modern décor, this space with its seamless interconnection to the terrace and swimming pool is the throbbing hub of the house.

The open-plan kitchen comes complete with a range of modern appliances and ample counterspace, making it ideal for culinary enthusiasts. Whether you’re tossing together a summer salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends, this fully equipped kitchen is primed to source the delicious meals over which unforgettable memories are made.

On this central level guests will find the first three of the villa’s seven well-appointed bedrooms. These include two bedrooms boasting double beds and ensuites, as well as a twin bedroom suite featuring two single beds and an ensuite shower bathroom. Descending the stairs to the lower level reveals another living room including a TV and games and access to the garden. The lower level also includes a double bedroom with queen-sized bed and shower bathroom, and a twin bedroom suite including two single beds, ensuite, and garden access. Two sofa beds on this floor provide the opportunity to sleep a further four guests.

Returning up the stairs to the upper level reveals another spacious TV and lounge area opening onto a panoramic terrace. Here guests will find the master bedroom complete with closet area, shower ensuite and terrace access. The top floor also boasts a triple bedroom suite ideal for children with three single beds, shower ensuite and roman bath. This level is made complete by a separate office/workstation perfectly suited to anyone who still needs to dash off the odd work email while on holiday.

Tastefully furnished with a raft of comforts and amenities, each bedroom is a private and restful retreat. However, it is the villa’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle and stunning exterior spaces that make this property a unique coastal experience. Immerse yourself via the roman steps in the opulent infinity pool, or set yourself up on a sun lounger on any of the various terraces and al fresco dining settings to enjoy this villa’s unbeatable views.

Location:

Floating serenely on the headland overlooking Praia das Cabanas Velhas, Casa Cabanas offers unrivalled views across the Atlantic Ocean and along the serrated Algarve coastline.

For the adventure seeker the area offers innumerable hiking and bicycle tracks which wind through the undulating scenery. Make sure to check out the stunning ruins at neighbouring Forte de Almaden and for those with an itch to escape dry land, the villa’s direct access to convenient beaches makes for a quick and relaxing escape at any time of day

The village of Salema (8-minute drive, 20-minute cycle) is one of the few communities that has a small indigenous fishing fleet of traditional colourful boats, still launched from the beach (now with the help of a tractor) to catch snapper, mackerel, sardines and octopus that you can taste fresh off the grill at local restaurants.

The wonderful city of Lagos is just 15 km away (20-minute drive). There you can find sandy beaches stretching down the cliffs for miles. The region’s stunning caves and rock outcrops along the shore provide excellent opportunity for exploration. Who knows, maybe you’ll find a private cove all to yourself. These caves and pristine snorkelling spots can also be accessed via boat trips from Lagos which often include the bonus of dolphin sightings!

If you want to do more than just lie on the beach the Old Town is fantastic to experience by day with its range of restaurants, bars, cafes and activities such as golf, tennis courts, spas, horseback riding, and boat hire. Information-hungry visitors should be sure to take a tour of the city’s walls, which date back to the Romans and connect nine towers and seven gates. Don’t forget to buy some honey and figs too! By night Lagos is just as lively, with a host of renown hotspots where you can dance the night away.

Carrapateira (30-minute drive) is a tranquil, pretty, spread-out village. Its two beaches with strong swells attract a hippy, surf-dude crowd. The coast is wild, with copper-coloured and ash-grey cliffs speckled with yellow and green shrubbery blooming out of creamy white sand.

Cape St. Vincent (30-minute drive) is the southern-most part of Europe. This wind blasted and storm pounded headland boasts a lighthouse that can be seen from 60 miles away, and an interesting museum. You will see the most spectacular sunsets at nearby Sagres (not to mention its historical fortress), best washed down with a Sagres beer!

There are also several very impressive golf courses close to Luz (14-minute drive). Boavista is an 18-hole championship course and Gold Santo Antonio is another par 71, 18-hole course set within Parque da Floresta.

The Algarve is also an ideal region for hot air balloon flights (bookable from Lagos) because of its 300 days of sunshine and absence of clouds. They offer breath-taking views from the air, taking you over rolling hills and valleys.
