Monte Zurappa

Approach

Surrounded by hilly fields of pine and almond trees, Monte Zurappa is located along the country road from Bolimeque to Loule City. From the road, the driveway leads to parking space outside the attractive, wheat-coloured villa. Without neighbours, Monte Zurappa enjoys uninterrupted views across the countryside.

Ground Floor

The dark-green front doors open to an entrance hall. Inside the rustic villa are plenty of traditional features, such as real stone and terracotta floors, and exposed stone walls. The villa is beautifully decorated, and furnished to a high standard throughout.

On the right is the inviting living and dining room, with warm yellow walls and terracotta floors. The traditional arched windows are complemented by gothic iron chandeliers and exposed stone. In the corner is an attractive open fireplace built in the traditional Portuguese style, with comfortable armchairs and a wooden coffee table arranged around it. You will also find satellite TV and a DVD player, ideal for restful moments indoors.

Beyond the living area is a spacious dining area, with a solid wooden dining table to seat eight. The dining table looks out through French windows that open to the terrace. From the dining area, double doors open to a sunny, country-style kitchen with wooden cupboards and forest-green tiles. Spacious and fully-equipped, the kitchen has a hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and breakfast table. The washing machine can be found in a separate utility room, beside the guest cloakroom.

The bedrooms are located down the hallway. All the bedrooms are beautifully decorated, each in its own individual colour-scheme. The master double bedroom has a beautiful dark-wood bed, with matching bedside cabinets and wardrobe, and an en suite bathroom. Beside it is a twin bedroom with twin nightstands, fitted wardrobes and en suite bathroom. The remaining double bedroom and three twin bedrooms all have an en suite shower room and doors to the terrace. Every bedroom looks out over the gardens, with views of the surrounding countryside.

Outside

From the villa, there are a few steps down to the pool area. Because the property is set on a hill, there are panoramic views of the countryside in every direction. Outside is a summer kitchen - a shaded area with preparation surfaces meals to be cooked on the stone barbeque. Looking out across the beautiful countryside, al fresco dining is sure to be a memorable family experience.

The large pool is set in spacious terracing with sunloungers and parasols. Beside the pool is a pool house containing a shower and w/c. Surrounding the pool terrace are attractive lawns, with plenty of room for the children to run around and play. If your idea of the perfect holiday is relaxing by the pool to the sound of birdsong from the idyllic country surroundings, then Monte Zurappa is the perfect choice.
