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

A long, open sweep of sand running east from Lagos — room to walk, swim and find a quiet stretch in high summer.
The wild Atlantic shore of the Costa Vicentina, with surf beaches such as Arrifana and Amado and some of Europe's most unspoilt coastline.
Approx. 19 km to Aljezur Castle
A whitewashed hill town below a Moorish castle, gateway to the western beaches.

Arriving
Faro International Airport serves the Algarve with direct flights from across Europe. Lisbon is an alternative for long-haul arrivals, followed by a scenic drive south.
The villa lies in open countryside beyond the village of Bensafrim. The final approach is along a quiet rural track; detailed directions are shared with guests before arrival.
A car is the easiest way to enjoy both the countryside and the coast — Lagos, the southern beaches and the west coast are all a comfortable drive away. Free private parking is available at the villa.
Detailed directions and arrival information are shared with guests once a stay is confirmed.
