Fully renovated, it combines traces of the 19th century with a refined contemporary language, ideal for up to 4 guests who value authenticity, aesthetics and functionality.The space was designed to surprise: the high ceiling, the wide arched windows and the wooden floor create a luminous and elegant environment, where each detail reinforces the balance between the past and the present. The two bedrooms invite tranquil rest, and the living area, with a window facing the view, invites you to enjoy time with lightness and relaxation. The kitchen is fully equipped, perfect for both quick meals and longer dinners.The decoration, made with simplicity and good taste, favours natural materials, functional pieces and a subtle artistic touch. High-speed internet, air conditioning and television complement the experience for relaxed stays at any time of the year.Beyond the inner experience, guests have access to common outdoor areas and a swimming pool installed on the top of the rear building — a unique space to relax and enjoy the sun. However, given access only by open stairs, this space is not suitable for guests with reduced mobility or small children.Immersed in the vibrant gastronomic scene of Vila Real de Santo António, you will have the opportunity to easily explore the rich tapestry of flavours that defines the region, from fresh seafood to traditional Algarve sweets, all just a few steps away. Close to golden sandy beaches, it offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy the Algarve sun and the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic.Get ready to fall in love with Vila Real de Santo António and experience unforgettable moments in this unique apartment, where history, culture, exceptional gastronomy, and natural beauty come together to create an unparalleled holiday experience.Note: The decorative elements visible in the images were used exclusively for the photographs and may not be available on site.
