VILLA MOINHO
ALGARVE
36
This outstanding residence is set in the countryside and
ensures absolute privacy and discretion for the owner. The
villa’s elevated position is rewarded with 360-degree views
that take in the coast including Ilha Deserta and the Santa
Maria lighthouse, which marks the southernmost point of
continental Portugal. Inside, extended ceiling height, huge
picture windows and an open plan split-level interior create
a genuine sense of space. The dining area is set on a raised
terrace next door to a modern and dynamic gourmet kitch-
en, with access to an outside dining space. The lower level
features ensuite bedrooms, art gallery and cinema room,
wine cellar, laundry room and ample storage. The master
suite on the upper level has a shower room and Jacuzzi and
two dressing rooms. Outside, an old windmill has been care-
fully refurbished and imaginatively integrated into the ar-
chitectural footprint. A custom designed heated swimming
pool and Jacuzzi adds dramatic perspective to the expan-
sive grounds that surround the villa. A tennis court provides
further recreational opportunities, and a Helipad is available
to receive VIP guests. Despite its relatively seclusion, the
villa is just 12 minutes away by car from Faro airport and
only 20 minutes from the golf courses at Quinta do Lago.
