What outside spaces and facilities are there ?

The house offers lots of outside options making it ideal for outdoor living in the Algarve climate. In front of the house is a roofed - and so shaded - area for dining and relaxing, ideal during the summer heat. There are newly landscaped gardens to the front and east of the house, containing a small games area for playing petanque (boule), badminton or volley ball. The pool - surrounded by terraces and flower beds - is 10 x 5 meters and has a long submerged bench with jacuzzi jets at the shallow end. To the rear of the house is a large terrace which is always partly shaded and which may also be used for dining. Adjoining this terrace is a 'wild' garden with old stone walls. On the west side of the house, steps lead you up to a long roof terrace which is ideal for private sunbathing during the day and star gazing at night. There is a shaded car port with space for two cars.
