Villa Riba Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
A spectacular two-storey, five-bedroom villa set in a quiet corner of the luxury Quinta Verde resort in the Algarve.
The tiled roof, large balconies and expansive cobbled driveway leading to the property give the impression of arriving at a Mediterranean chateau. Stepping through to a marble-tiled foyer with floor-to-ceiling doors, you’ll be greeted by a cool elegance that continues as you head through to the ample living room with sofa, fireplace and satellite TV. Prepare your meals in the fully equipped, cutting-edge kitchen with a breakfast bar and access to the terrace, or continue into the dining area, which seats eight people for a more intimate gathering. The ground floor has a bedroom with two single beds and an en-suite shower, perfect for privacy.
From the ground floor, head through the foyer to the patio and enjoy the private blue-tiled outdoor pool surrounded by an immaculate piece of green lawn and sun loungers, perfect for the sun worshippers of the group. The covered bbq area makes a great venue for al fresco dining.
On the lower ground floor is the bar with it’s own sink, fridge, dishwasher, ice machine and pool table. You’ll never be short on entertainment options at Villa Riba when you can choose from a media room with comfortable seating and satellite TV as well as a cosy cinema room. Those who choose the bedroom on this floor will enjoy a double bed with its own en-suite bathroom. A well-equipped fitness area with a cycling machine is available for guests who want to continue with their fitness and training.
No architectural attention to detail has been spared in this villa, with an elegant spiral staircase winding up to the first floor. Elevated above the stunning greenery, this floor features a master bedroom with a double bed, satellite TV, dressing area, access to a balcony and a chic en-suite bathroom with double sinks, a bath and a walk-in shower. A second bedroom boasts a double bed, access to a balcony and an en-suite shower room, and a third bedroom has two single beds and an en-suite shower room. All rooms come with air conditioning, guaranteeing full comfort during your stay.
The villa features natural stones and woods running throughout, with plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows to let the sunlight stream through. The peaceful location of the villa and the bright and airy environment mean you’re certain to leave feeling rejuvenated. Villa Riba is situated in the exclusive Quinta Verde resort. The resort provides everything you need for a comfortable and luxurious stay and sits within the famous “golden triangle” of the Algarve, known for its luxury resorts and Michelin star restaurants. The resort is set on the pristine Portuguese coast, and its warm Mediterranean climate makes it an excellent location for families and friends wanting to enjoy the wonderful attractions of the region.
Quinta Verde has an array of leisurely features such as a state-of-the-art gym, health spa and beauty salon, tennis courts and a golf course. Security is no issue here as the resort is secured by 24 hour CCTV monitoring and manned guarding.
Being close to the prestigious resorts of Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago, the resort is never far from dining, golfing, and shopping hub. For those wanting to venture out to the Algarve, there is a lively region full of surfing, wind sports and sailing. Visitors to the Algarve are spoiled for choice when it comes to seaside towns and stunning natural coastline. Head to the old town of Faro (and the capital of the Algarve) and spend a day exploring the winding, cobbled roads of the old town which is surrounded by historic Roman walls. Daily markets sell fresh local produce, as well as handmade crafts and clothing specific to the region. Grab a picnic and head to Praia de Faro for a change in beach scenery, or take a walk along the award-winning marina and soak up the European cafe culture.
Further out is the Ludo Hiking Trail, a stunning nature track that gets you up close to the salt pools of Unesco-protected Rio Formosa lagoon and all its wildlife. The track is a birdwatcher’s paradise with flocks of flamingos and Spoonbills year-round, but the natural sanctuary is home to more than 250 species. The track is relatively easy, coming in at 7km and will take approximately three to four hours. Conde Nast traveller declared local restaurant Gigi Praia as the ultimate lunch experience, serving up fresh seafood and locally grown vegetables with spectacular views of the Rio Formosa National Park.
