007 | Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Algarve.
Sleeps 7 - 4 bed - 2 bath
Crafted by the acclaimed architects Pedro Domingos Arquitectos, based in Lisbon, this residence is nothing short of extraordinary. Its unique layout, combined with a refined color scheme and custom furnishings, has transformed what was once a dilapidated structure at the end of a dirt path into a vibrant living space. Surrounded by wildflowers, olive, and almond trees, the home is set within a sprawling 26,000 square feet of nature reserve. To celebrate the stunning natural environment, the garden has been thoughtfully designed by Sigmetum, a Lisbon-based firm, allowing wild flora to flourish and reflect the untamed allure of the Algarve region.
This residence is not only visually striking—though it certainly is—but it is also conveniently located within a twenty-minute drive of some of the most stunning beaches and even closer to premier golf courses. Whether you choose to spend your day by the sea or on the golf course, you will find shops and dining options just five minutes away in Santa Barbara de Nexe for any necessities.
Upon returning home, we recommend exploring each room barefoot to experience the cool concrete beneath your feet while appreciating the various textures and hues of the interior. From the dining area, you can savor a cup of coffee while observing the sunlight streaming through the window, creating intricate geometric patterns across the space.
As the day heats up, you can access the pool via the steps and relish the refreshing sensation of cool water against your warm skin. To bask in the sun, retreat to the rooftop terrace with a fine bottle of wine in hand.
Enjoy outdoor dining beneath the trees, take leisurely naps with the expansive windows wide open, shower under the stars, curl up with a book by the fireplace, and take in the beauty of both the home and its surroundings. Most importantly, allow this serene space to rejuvenate your spirit as you unwind.
