Description
Estoi Vistas certainly lives up to its name! This fantastic villa sits at the end of an impressive 150 metre long driveway, lined by over one hundred and thirty towering cypress trees in a sub-tropical garden full of colour, exotic mature plants, palms, bougainvilleas, fruit trees and yet more cypress trees. The countryside and distant sea views from its terraces are absolutely sensational. Guests enjoy the ever-changing views of the Atlantic Ocean and the twinkling lights of Faro once the sun has gone down. Estoi Vistas is a fifty year old, colonial-style luxury villa which is built all on one level within a spectacular, much loved garden. You will arrive at the villa in no time at all as it is situated just ten minutes north of Faro and five minutes from the historic town of Estoi, nestled amongst fields full of olive and almond trees. Many of the Algarve’s sensational sandy beaches are just twenty or twenty five minutes drive away.
Estoi is a wonderful location boasting its Milreu Roman ruins and one of the Algarve’s finest 19th century neo-Rococo styled palaces, the pink painted Palacio de Estoi, which is now a hotel. Guests enjoy trips into Faro Old Town or to pretty villages such as Almancil, Loule, Tavira and the fishing town of Olhao. Golf fans are in for treat with amazing, world class golf courses nearby. Guests can enjoy gastronomic feasts and superb entertainment in Vilamoura. Estoi is also within very easy reach of the sensational Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, a stunning natural park of sandbanks, barrier islands, salt marshes and lagoons. The reserve stretches 60km along the Algarve coast from Faro and the fishing town of Olhao to Tavira and beyond.
Estoi Vistas boasts five stunning bedrooms, four bathrooms and fabulous living spaces. The villa has been stylishly renovated, offering superbly comfortable accommodation decorated with a slight ‘Moorish’ touch. Under a very high, attractive, beamed ceiling, the main living space is open plan in design and full of exquisite furnishings. One wall boasts three sets of gorgeous, trendy, black framed doors drowning the space in natural light and offering access and views of the terrace and garden. The dining area enjoys beautifully upholstered chairs and a traditional wooden table with statement chandeliers above. The outlook is of the pool and garden. The living space boasts a lavish corner sofa and other comfy chairs, a feature fireplace, satellite television and a Sonos sound system. The generous galley kitchen offers outstanding appliances including a dishwasher, a microwave and a Delonghi bean to cup espresso and cappuccino machine.

The villa’s five bedrooms are comprised of three double rooms with ensuite bathrooms and two further rooms which share a bathroom. The rooms all have their own colour schemes, turquoise, yellow, orange and red with delightful vibrant colour pops in the form of curtains, rugs and other soft furnishings. Two of the bedrooms open to the pool terrace and another open to the morning terrace. There is a mix of double beds, twins and one room with bunk beds, ideal for children. The bunk bed room enjoys a unique wooden staircase to the upper bunk which also functions as a chest of drawers. The bathrooms are beautifully finished with a mix of baths and walk-in showers. Across the inner courtyard at the front of the house is an extension to the villa which is used as a games and playroom. It offers a snooker table for some family fun. There is also a table tennis table and to the east side of the villa, a petanque court.
