VILLA SERNADINHA
Wide aerial view of the villa on a rise of land surrounded by open countryside

Location

Between countryside and coast.

In the hills above Bensafrim, around fifteen minutes from the historic centre of Lagos.

The setting

Secluded, yet never far.

The villa occupies a private rise of land in the rural parish of Bensafrim, within the municipality of Lagos. The approach is along a quiet track through the hills, and from the house there are no neighbours in sight.

It is a rare position in the Algarve: a true countryside retreat with the coast close by. The beaches and restaurants of Lagos are a short drive south, the Atlantic surf of the west coast lies beyond the hills, and the rest of the Algarve is easily explored by car.
