Villa Miami is an architectural gem, protected under Portuguese Heritage. Villa Miami is considered one of the best examples of forward thinking modern design emerging 30 years ago in Portugal.

Villa Miami is a large welcoming family villa all on one level, so it's nice and easy for families with children and the older members of the family who may not like to deal with too many steps.

The exterior

Enjoy lazing on a sun lounger by the private, gated sunny swimming pool. The pool is a very generous 9.5 x 7m, maximum depth 1.65m, and can be heated (charges apply). Villa Miami is surrounded by mature gardens and has extensive paved terraces all across ground level over the landscaped garden and grassy areas off the bedrooms.

There is a terrace with an outdoor fixed charcoal BBQ and dining table perfect for alfresco evenings. A portable gas BBQ is also available. Note, there are some steps down to the pool area.

The living areas

Enjoy relaxing in the evening in the formal living room - or set up the games table and the billiard table and enjoy challenging the family to some games in the parlour! There is a formal dining room to enjoy large family get-togethers and a small breakfast morning room off the kitchen where you can sip a quiet coffee in the morning. Or why not take your coffee into the little open air courtyard that is located here too?

The bedrooms

There are 4 bedrooms in the main villa - two double and two twin rooms with en-suite bathrooms. All rooms are fully reverse cycled air conditioned and are tastefully decorated with modern furnishings. There is an additional 5th bedroom with a sofa bed, located off the courtyard of the morning room and with independent access. This room is air conditioned.

In the rear wing of Villa Miami are three spacious bedrooms with direct access to the grassy lawns. At the other end of the villa are two further bedrooms. The 4th bedroom is off the morning room off the kitchen and has its own en-suite bathroom.

The 5th bedroom is located off the morning room near the kitchen and it is accessed by an internal courtyard. The 5th bedroom also has independent access from the main entrance of the villa. This bedroom has its own en-suite shower room.
