Having grown up in Scotland and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1982, I subsequently worked in various locations around the world before settling in London in 1994. Currently based in Walton on Thames with my partner and our black labrador , we love to enjoy our villa several times per year , being very easy to escape from the fast paced London environment , and be in paradise after a short 2 1/2 hour flight from London. My four grown up children love to travel to the villa each year with their friends to enjoy the sunshine , beaches and local activities and nightlife. The villa location is truly stunning which you can only really appreciate when you are there with 300 metres of vineyard and villa grounds ,with the ocean coming up to the cliff edge at the end of the garden. We have enjoyed the villa very much over the last 18 years and my intention is to spend a substantial amount of time in the sunshine there in my retirement.

Having travelled the world extensively on business,I never ceased to marvel at an outstanding ocean view wherever I went. When we decided to buy a second home we looked at properties in several countries including Turkey , Croatia, Montenegro ,Italy ,Portugal ,France and USA and ultimately chose the Algarve and this property for its outstanding view and natural beauty, with the ocean view being absolutely stunning. With it's close proximity to Burgau and Praia da Luz (walking along the cliff top ocean path ) and the medieval town of Lagos (10 mins drive) together with the world class surfing beaches and golf courses nearby the villa was the ideal location for all of us. The villa has the perfect combination of as much peace and tranquillity that anyone would want to recharge their batteries from a tiring lifestyle at home ,bathed in sunshine. However with a large garden ,swimming pool and multiple beaches including surfing , golf courses and fantastic restaurants and bars nearby ,to enjoy your holiday at as fast a pace as you would like in the glorious sunshine. The summer temperature averages between 20 and 32 C , with the Algarve getting over 3000 hours of sunshine throughout the year. Many of the beaches are busy but there are also several remote ,less frequented beaches to be discovered . In addition there are local nature reserves where you can enjoy the local tranquillity together with the local wild life.

Stunning cliff top location with vineyard looked after by a private gardner and maid , with a large area of private grounds with private swimming pool overlooked by mature palm trees. If it's peace and tranquillity that you crave , and to escape from the 'rat race'the villa is ideal . If it's fun you are after ,it's a short walk to the coastal resorts of Burgau and Praia da Luz complete with beautiful beaches and multiple amenities, and a short drive to the world class surfing beaches and golf courses nearby . The medieval resort of Lagos is an easy 10 minute drive away with many historical points of interest ,marina and fantastic beaches complete with watersports, restaurants and other extensive local night life. All of these can easily be reached by local bus or taxi service.In addition any other part of the Algarve can be reached by car in 30 -60 minutes with Lisbon and Seville in Spain being approximately 2 and 1/2 hours away by car.
