Villa Amethyst is a charming luxurious country home set within a gently undulating vineyard situated in the heart of the Golden Triangle, close to the golden beaches of Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago Resorts, the Ria Formosa nature reserve and the prestigious golf courses.

Villa Amethyst whilst being located next to the resorts and nearest towns and their many facilities benefits from the peaceful bliss and privacy of the Algarve countryside. The property has been converted from an original Algarvian home to which an industrial style extension has been added with iron-framed floor-to-ceiling glass windows, stunning wooden floors and plenty of natural light, completing the elegant and stylish atmosphere of this luxury holiday villa.

An ideal villa for family holidays in the sunny Algarve, Villa Amethyst accommodates up to 12 guests,  and is ideally set within a single level with 6 en-suite bedrooms including a children's room. The spacious chef's kitchen opens onto the modern and spacious open-plan lounge area incorporating the dining room and the TV lounging area, surrounded by glass windows looking out onto the beautifully kept grounds and gardens, outdoor decked terrace with a fire pit and the children's playground.

Nestling in the center of the vineyard the circular swimming pool is located approximately 150 meters from the villa.
