Within a leafy enclave of villas and just 10km from fabulous beaches, Casa Cristina sits handsomely in the centre of a generous plot, bursting with lush Mediterranean vegetation and offers eye catching vistas across undulating hills to the heights of the Monchique mountain range. 

Charming, simple and secluded, Cristina is a fabulous private hideaway in a semi-rural setting, within an easy drive of golden beaches (Praia de Alvor 10km) and an array of local attractions and amenities. From the gated entrance, traditional calçada paving provides ample parking and a car port. Steps lead to the entrance hall from which the galley kitchen, with convenient yard adjacent, and first twin bedroom with en suite radiate. The expansive living and dining space features an impressive high beamed ceiling, fireplace and patio doors, both south and north facing. There are two further bedrooms, one double en suite with dressing area and one twin.

Outside, enclosed mature gardens feature carob, eucalyptus, pine and palms together with indigenous shrubbery, while an abundance of pretty pot plants keep watch over the large centrepiece swimming pool, adorned with Santa Caterina tile surround.

Nearby Alvor (10km) is famed for its pretty waterfront and fine beaches, while larger Lagos (18km) boasts a rich seafaring history and several stunning cove beaches. The cooling forest clad hills of the Monchique range (25km) are a delight to visit on hot days for outstanding vistas across a swathe of the Algarvian coastline.
