Algarve, Boliqueime, Portugal

Charming property in Alcaria, Boliqueime.

I present this beautiful villa, which in its general setting has an irregular rectangular shape, develops in an east-west direction, with a slight upward slope in the same direction, presenting a flat platform in its central area.
Its fences are made of stone, topped with appropriate netting.
It is equidistant from Spain and Sagres, between the mountains and the coast, at an altitude of around 190 metres above sea level, with views of Vilamoura, Quarteira, Oura and Albufeira to the south and the Serra de Monchique to the west.
By car, the journey to the airport is around 25 minutes and 20 minutes to the beaches of Vilamoura and Falésia.

Main building:
This resulted from the rehabilitation and extension of a traditional Algarvian ruin, more than a century old, safeguarding its identity and original elements, such as the chimney, fireplace, structural stone walls.
Thus, from the original area, the main entrance, living room, old kitchen and new kitchen interconnected as well as a guest toilet were built.
To the east, two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms were built, one of which has a double floor where the mezzanine office/library is located.
Both bedrooms have air conditioning systems.
. A storage area and a traditional roof terrace with privileged views of Vilamoura and the ocean complete this area.
To the west, a living and dining area has been built, as well as a chimney with a wood-burning stove and an oven, plus a toilet, storage and a laundry room.
The floors are covered in ceramic tiles, except in the bedrooms where floating floors have been laid.
Some of the original walls have been cleaned and treated, while the rest have been insulated and painted white.
The ceilings are made of casquinha wood on a structure of beams of the same material, treated with colourless mineral glaze to ensure the stability of its natural colour.
The exterior window frames are in white lacquered aluminium, openable, sliding or hinged, fitted with 4x16x6mm double glazing, protected by shutters in the same colour. There are also ‘Velux’ windows to ensure ventilation and light in the guest toilet, kitchen and storage room.

Infrastructure:
The water heating is guaranteed by a solar thermal system, which is fully operational, with plans to interconnect other types of solutions.
An ited network provides internet access in all areas.

Outside area:
This space provides a pleasant spot on hot summer days, as well as space for two cars.
Led lighting, a water supply and sewage system, as well as watertight floor boxes, equip this area.
A traditional wood-burning oven with grill, as well as a tool storage area housing the main electrical panel and irrigation controller complement this area.

Swimming pool:
The 60m3 swimming pool, of the infinity edge type, has a rectangular shape.
Its maintenance is automatic and programmed with a robot connected to the suction system, which cleans leaves and deposited dirt whenever the system comes on. Likewise, saline disinfection and water pH control are carried out automatically via cells.

Garden:
The garden is structured by a Portuguese stone cube pavement path, measuring 11x11x11cm for car traffic and 6x6x6cm for pedestrian use.
It can be considered mature and is supported by an automatic irrigation system with 12 programmable stations, divided into grass, hedge, aromatic, succulent, fruit and flower areas.
The vast majority of species are native, including almond, olive, fig and carob trees, as well as oleander, rosemary and lavender.
