Casa Nitta Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
This spectacular villa is set within magnificent landscaped gardens at the entrance of Vale do Lobo, next to a golf putting range. Enjoy amazing views that stretch across the pine trees and olive groves all the way to the glittering sea from the mezzanine gallery area. Sunsets are especially glorious from this vantage point.
The villa – which is brand new for 2020 – is set behind an electric gate for optimum privacy. Framed by palm trees, the exteriors are luxurious and made up of many cream coloured pavilions, with traditional tiled roofs and pillars. A balcony runs across the front, providing additional relaxation space.
The sprawling gardens have a path that winds through it, around the shimmering private pool which has plenty of space for the whole family to swim together. The pool even has heating, if required, and an electric cover. There are countless spaces to enjoy the outdoors around the property, from outdoor lounge sofas to the hexagonal pergola containing a barbecue and seating area.
On entering the villa, look up to the feature ceiling and chandeliers that hang from it. There is a beautiful seating area and even a stylish bar. Access the grand living space through the patio doors, which is furnished with a juxtaposition of antique and modern handicrafts.
There is an exquisite Hollywood-style red carpet throughout and even a stage with a glossy piano atop it. Glossy black leather armchairs and sofas are arranged around a flat screen television. A wall of mirrors opens up the space and makes it appear even bigger.
There is a fully equipped kitchen decked out in red, white and black, with a glossy kitchen island and American-style fridge. Dine alfresco in one of the many outdoor lounges or around the circular table with statement spotted chairs. Elegant curved furniture features throughout the villa, such as the marble bar and curved wooden headboards in the bedrooms.
Ascend the spiral staircase with a swirling wooden design feature to reach the second floor, which houses most of the bedrooms. Each has its own individual design style, ranging from mauve walls to monochrome with cityscape art. Large windows allow plenty of natural light to stream through. There are a mixture of double and twin beds with crisp linen, providing lots of flexibility.
For downtime, choose between table tennis by the pool or in cosy basement games room, which also has a billiards table. The space is decorated with framed football shirts and superhero art, which adds plenty of character.
Vale do Lobo is one of the most exclusive areas to stay in the Algarve. Famous for its world-renowned golf resort, the location makes up one point of the Golden Triangle. Vale de Lobo golf course was designed by legendary British golfer Henry Cotton among a beautiful setting. Breathe in the sea air while playing on the Royal or the Ocean 18-hole championship course. There are year-round tournaments and competitions and a Golf Academy, as well as a lovely clubhouse.
Praia de Vale do Lobo beach is a short drive from the villa, which is a captivating, lesser-known beach ideal for those who love unspoilt landscapes. The beach has a backdrop of fabulous sandstone cliffs and warm azure waters for swimming. Another jaw-dropping beach is Praia do Ancão, which is regarded as the most exclusive beach in the Golden Triangle.
Dolphin spotting will be an unforgettable experience for the whole family. The majestic dolphins are curious and friendly towards humans – up to 50 can be seen swimming happily in the wild. Some companies even bring a marine biologist on board, so guests can learn all about the dolphins. Many other boat trips can be taken around Vilmoura, which has a world-famous marina filled with luxury yachts and Michelin-star restaurants.
Guests looking for an authentically Portuguese town should visit Loulé. Here, you’ll find a Gothic-inspired church and several bustling markets. Saturdays are a particularly interesting time to visit, because there is a lively gypsy market in town.
Rio Fermosa National Park is within walking distance of Vale do Lobo and provides unmissable hiking and limitless bike trails that pass through salt pans and beautiful lagoons. The park is home to an array of wildlife and stunning natural beauty.
Quaint Almancil is just a short drive from the villa, where guests will find the Church of São Lourenço, which has stunning blue tiles on the inside. This style is known as azulejo and the Baroque church dates back to 1730. Nearby, there is a cultural centre that hosts a variety of art exhibitions and musical performances.
Faro is also a great day trip from the villa – sightseeing includes the Arco de Vila, a neoclassical waterside gateway and the Milreu ruins. After 10 minutes’ walk up a hillside you will be rewarded with amazing Roman-era mosaics and baths, including a very well-preserved fish mosaic and the inner workings of the ancient baths.
Vale de Lobo has a charming, family-friendly atmosphere in the evenings, with ice cream parlours open in the evenings and lots of cafes with live music.
