Santa Bárbara de Nexe - Traditional renovated 3-bedroom villa

This traditional Algarve villa has been fully renovated and sits on a quiet hillside plot in Santa Bárbara de Nexe, surrounded by mature olive and carob trees, with far-reaching views that stretch out towards the sea. The property has been rebuilt to a high standard, keeping the character of the original farmhouse while adding a clean, contemporary finish throughout. Pale blue window frames, a terracotta tiled roof and whitewashed walls give the house a calm, coastal look, and the plot itself, at 11,000 m², offers real privacy and space to enjoy the surrounding countryside.

Inside, the living areas are arranged in an open-plan layout, with the kitchen, dining and sitting areas flowing into one another under a vaulted, beamed ceiling that adds a real sense of scale. The kitchen is fully fitted and equipped, finished in a soft yellow with a Silestone worktop and central island. The villa has three bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, plus a separate guest WC for visitors. Bedrooms are bright and well-proportioned, with garden or terrace access, built-in wardrobe space, and a finish that feels comfortable rather than showy. Every room benefits from a ducted air conditioning system, keeping the house cool through the summer months.
Outside, the large south-facing terrace, finished in natural travertine stone, is where most of the entertaining will happen, with space for lounging, dining and a travertine-clad plunge pool, all looking out over the valley below. A separate covered dining area with a reed roof gives shade for long lunches, and there's a lower terrace with lounge seating set among gravel paths and drought-tolerant planting. The plot also includes a kitchen garden already planted with vegetables, gravel walkways bordered by dry stone walls, and good tarmac access right up to the entrance of the property, which is not always a given in this part of the Algarve. Practical details have been well thought through too, with fibre optic internet, mains water and sewage, and an alarm system already in place.
With 166 m² of built area set on a generous plot, this villa works equally well as a full-time residence or a rental investment, and it's being sold fully furnished, so it's ready to move into or start renting out straight away. The combination of a private, elevated position, sea views, and a short drive to golf courses, restaurants and beaches makes it a rare find at this level of finish.
