Villa Maren, quiet residential area, private pool

Villa Maren sits in an excellent, exclusive area above the Alvor sea lagoon and the A Rocha nature reserve, with views over the charming lagoon toward the kilometer-long Meia Praia beach, the Palmares golf course, and the silhouette of the fishing village of Alvor, near Portimão. The south-facing house is flooded with sunlight, with a spacious living-dining room, a generous kitchen, and two bedrooms and bathrooms (one en suite), finished with high-quality, comfortable furnishings for a pleasant atmosphere. To the side of the house, a large terrace with built-in, traditionally tiled Portuguese benches and a table sits next to the barbecue area, and sun loungers around the pool add another spot to relax. Villa Maren’s prime location — with beautiful views, the Palmares golf course, the lagoon, and kilometers of sandy beach all nearby — is its real draw.
