Here you have a low-lying Algarvian farmhouse in grand style, a stylish retreat for a gathering of the clans. The entrance sets the tone: impressive gates smothered in white azalea, a driveway edged by lush hedgerows, a carport under great palms. You will love the spacious interiors: the beamy old-fashioned country kitchen perfectly equipped, the sofa'd sitting room, the TV study, the antique-furnished corridor off which three bedrooms lie (two further rooms are by the pool). More treats outside: the gardens are lawned, secluded, surrounded by big trees, the swimming pool is gated and there's a lavishly furnished double veranda, a delicious spot for a lazy jug of Pimm's. Pretty mirrors, Sant' Anna tiles, cast-iron bedsteads, duck egg-blue shutters, statues of elephants on the terrace, a 17th-century well that supplies the house with fresh water… there's an atmosphere of faded splendour here, as much Anglo-French as Portuguese. The English manager runs the show, organises the gardener, the maids, the complementary first-night dinner, knows all the best restaurants, markets, beaches: his inside knowledge is invaluable.
