Villa Marina Vicentina, Aljezur, Western Algarve, Portugal Vacation Rental

 

A magnificent modern-styled villa, the cliff-top Villa Marina Vicentina boasts stunning, uninterrupted ocean and river valley views. Situated in one of Europe’s most pristine nature reserves – the Parque Natural da Costa Vicentina.

Remote, serene, picturesque, you can simply delight in nature at its most unspoiled, soak up the sun by the private pool or wander down to the beach and enjoy the spectacular Atlantic surf – all are directly accessible from your doorstep. Inspired by the image of a modern cruiser rounding the Ribeira de Aljezur’s headland on its way out to sea, the Villa Marina Vicentina was designed by renowned local architect Joao Fonseca.

Recently completed to the highest build standard, it occupies four levels – the upper two floors offering expansive deck areas with four discreet outdoor dining spaces. Two of these areas are sail-shaded and sheltered from prevailing winds.

The upper deck's outdoor dining area comfortably seats twelve and basks in panoramic views.

The private 10m x 5m, ionized (non-chlorinated) main and children’s pool overlook the surf, nature reserve and beach. The outdoor decking area also features a separate 4 person heated Jacuzzi and shower.

Given its exposed location, the Villa Marina Vicentina was designed to the most thermally and acoustically efficient build standard. A steel-framed structure is encased with polyurethane ensuring it is cool in summer and warm in winter. Solar panels provide all the hot water, underfloor and pool heating, as appropriate.

Further up the spiral staircase from the bedrooms, is the main open-plan living area. Flooding the lounge, dining and well- appointed kitchen areas with light, expansive glass windows dramatically frame the captivating seascape, valley and mountain vistas.

The interior is all wood-floored (bathrooms are tiled) with all rooms offering under-floor heating and custom-built features. The sauna and mini gym bathroom share a separate shower, wc and wash basin. All have heated towel rails.

All 5 double bedrooms have deck access (3 river valley views, 2 overlooking the ocean), en suite bathrooms, electrically adjustable beds, under-floor heating, air-conditioning, custom wardrobes, floor-to-ceiling mirrors and dressing tables.

The kitchen features a breakfast bar, cooker, induction hob, ceramic grill, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, a dumb waiter servicing the roof deck, electrically operated cocktail bar and wine rack. The units are hand-painted by a local artist.

In Aljezur, walking distance to the beach, close to shops and restaurants and approximately an hour and twenty minutes from Faro airport.
