Quinta Santos - 4 bedrooms

Approach

The impressive Quinta Santos is a large, villa with a great range of modern features and facilities. Its huge landscaped grounds also offer plenty of space to enjoy outdoor living in the warm sunshine and indulge in leisure activities. Perfect for a large party of friends, this stunning villa is sure to provide a memorable holiday experience. From the lane that winds through this semi-rural area, a turning leads to electric gates and through to the fenced estate. A large driveway and parking area at the front, lead to the front door and main entrance hall.

Ground Floor

The spacious and sprawling ground floor features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two kitchens and two sitting rooms. The large main living room is light and bright, with patio doors opening onto the sunny gardens. This room has a large snooker table in the centre, satellite TV, sofa and armchairs. To one side is an open-plan kitchen with a breakfast bar and barstools. Well-equipped, this kitchen provides an alternative cooking space to the main kitchen – a good set-up for large parties of friends.
A door leads from this living room to another sitting/dining room with two sets of patio doors opening out on to the garden terraces. Along one wall is an attractive fireplace with wood-burner and two cosy sofas. There is also a coffee table and satellite TV. On the other side is a dining table and six chairs, beside a large side dresser.
A doorway opens to the large fitted kitchen, which has a modern country-style with pale green units, stainless steel accessories and fresh white worktop. This well-equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, oven with ceramic hob, free-standing fridge/freezer and microwave. There is also a small breakfast dining area with a table and four chairs.
Every downstairs bedroom has a set of patio doors opening directly to the sunny gardens. The first double bedroom has a blue metal bedstead, bedside cabinets with small reading lamps and a large built-in wardrobe. It also has a door opening to a tiled en-suite shower room. The second has a large double bed with padded headboard, two large bedside cabinets, an armchair, wardrobe and door opening to an en-suite shower room.
There are two rooms furnished with twin beds. The first is decorated in sunny orange and yellow with a small bedside table, dressing table and chair beneath a wall mirror and large built-in wardrobes. A door opens to an en-suite bathroom. The second twin bedroom has a bedside cabinet, and a large wardrobe with a central mirror. Adjacent is a tiled shower room with shower cubicle, toilet and washbasin.

First Floor

This floor has a further three bedrooms, used for larger parties. The attic games room is set beneath a sloping roof with a large skylight window. There’s plenty to keep you amused, including a darts board, table-tennis table, table football, a satellite TV, wireless internet access and the old-fashioned fun of a selection of board games.

Outside

The estate surrounding Quinta Santos is largely laid to lawn, interspersed with pathways and the shade of tall spiky palms. The private roman-ended pool is set into a paved sun terrace, with plenty of room to stretch out on a sunlounger and soak up the sun. The large pool has integral steps to lead you gradually into the water and there is also a poolside shower – which doubles as a handy ‘rinsing off’ point when you return form the beach.
If you get tired of lazing in the warm sunshine, why not enjoy a friendly game of badminton in the sand-covered badminton court. And for kids there is a large swing-set.
Another source of fun in the garden is the gyroball; a human-sized version of a swingball.
Along the side of the house are shaded terraces where garden tables and chairs invite you to sit and enjoy a long, lazy lunch. Set away from the villa is another dining area with a patio and large built-in barbecue; an ideal place for cooking up a storm in the later, cooler sunshine.
