Off the hall is a coat cupboard and a 5th bathroom (with shower and toilet).
Guests can also find a fully equipped kitchen (located just across the hall), a large and elegant lounge (with patio doors which lead out to the outside lounge area, the barbecue and the pool terrace) and a library/home cinema room (with hand made breakfront bookcase along the whole of one wall and a large selection of books) which is connected to the lounge by double glazed doors.

A fully equipped laundry room can be found in the basement.


Outdoors​ 

The property offers large professionally landscaped gardens, which have been designed in formal Tuscan style to compliment the classical design of the villa (calcada stone paths, box hedging, clipped bushes, Italian cypresses, colourful trees, shrubs and sub tropical plants, fountains, benches, numerous urns and statuary...).
The villa has extensive terrace areas both on the ground and first floor of the property, to enable visitors to enjoy outdoor living to the full.
Guests will appreciate the covered terrace furnished as an outside lounge, the large terrace surrounding the pool, the main dining terrace (incorporating a pergola with an electric awning, a built in gas barbecue and an outside kitchen) and the first floor terrace (with dining area).
From the top roof terrace, there are 360 degree views of the sea, the mountains and the surrounding Quinta do Lago estate.
They will also enjoy the pool (12 x 6 metres), located is in the garden at the back of the villa, with underwater lights and curved walk in steps at the shallow end. 
The pool can be heated as a optional extra but, as it has a solar heating cover, this is not usually necessary in the Summer months.

The price includes a maid service (5 days per week), the departure cleaning, the linen change (Tuesday and Friday except the Friday before the departure day). The rates also includes hotel style bathroom service with a selection of good quality soap, shampoo, shower gel, body lotion and boxed tissues, as well as air conditioning throughout, gas barbecue, and garden/pool maintenance (weekly).

You will also benefit from on site security and emergency medical support 24/7.
Pool heating is £800 per week extra between June and September and £900 all other months. It must be requested in advance as, because of the size of the pool, it usually takes between 3 and 4 days prior to arrival to heat up.
