About this property

Ideal peaceful oasis, high on a hill just outside of Lagos, with fabulous views.

HIGHVIEW VILLA is a charming property located high on a hill just 5 minutes drive outside of Lagos – with stupendous views over the Atlantic ocean to the south and over the Monchique hills to the North. It is a very special place for those looking for a peaceful oasis, appreciating an established garden and being just that little bit away from the rest.

In addition, a special feature of the Villa includes the “Cathedral” wooden ceiling in the lounge (with great acoustics for music lovers) it also allows for a cool natural environment during the summer months as the air circulates freely throughout the house. In winter, a large log fire provides heat and that very special feeling of comfort.

High View Villa is in alle opzichten 'hoog'.
Zoals de naam suggereert, ligt High View Villa wat hoger. Op de op top van een heuvel (prachtig uitzicht op Lagos en Meia Praia) springt de roze villa er uit aan het eind van een doodlopende weg. Geen grote muren met toegangshekken, maar een uitnodigende open oprit naar de voordeur. De eigenzinnigheid van het exterieur wordt voortgezet in het interieur. Zowel het interieur als de tuin zijn, naar wij hoorden, ontworpen en ingericht door de eigenaresse (beeldend kunstenaar en architect) en haar man. Zij hebben een duidelijk stempel gezet op het aanzien en sfeer van villa, die wij als bijzonder - en als bijzonder plezierig - hebben ervaren. De ruime villa beschikt over een enorm hoge 'woonkamer' (veertien - twintig meter?) met vide en een in het oog springende trap naar boven. Het huis is ruim, was brandschoon bij aankomst, de (slaap)kamers en vertrekken hebben allemaal een eigen sfeer, faciliteiten als badkamers en keuken zijn van alle gemakken voorzien en patio en tuin lenen zich voor buitenshuis eten en lezen. Mensen die huur overwegen raden we wel aan een auto te huren, want zonder auto is het lastig boodschappen doen en lopen naar het stadje Lagos (een van de mooiste stadjes van de Algarve) en naar de stranden, vergt al snel drie kwartier (naar beneden) tot een klein uur (weer naar boven). We hebben drie weken in High View Villa gewoond en kunnen op grond daarvan niet anders concluderen dan dat niet alleen de locatie ‘hoog’ is, maar ook de kwaliteit en ook de aandacht van de eigenaresse voor het welzijn van de bewoners (we werden laat 's avonds hartelijk ontvangen met wijn en een hapje en ze bleef permanent standy voor vragen). We kunnen HIgh View Villa van harte aanbevelen (en denken daarbij in eerste instantie aan een gezin met kinderen) of een groep mensen die het samen goed kunnen vinden. Maar ook voor stel, dat gesteld is op privacy en rust, is dit zespersoons huis - zo is ons gebleken - een warm (en ruim) huis. Verblijven in High View Villa was een feest.

About the host

Hosted by Bernadete Bishop

Host profile image
I was born in Brazil, where I qualified as an architect before moving to Europe 26 years ago. I have a Masters in Creative Techniques which I achieved at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. I have always been involved in several art forms including painting, dance, theatre and marionettes.
While in Portugal I developed activities including teaching art, exhibiting my art work, plus stage production and directing, as well as involving myself in many community projects.
I have a very keen interest with environment issues, and I found Lagos to be a perfect place to be in contact with nature, with its wonderful weather, throughout the year. Another attractive point about Lagos, is that I have the opportunity to meet people from all parts of the world, and I love to learn from different cultures.
I’m happy to be in such exciting place, surrounded by culture and nature.

What makes this property unique

As a qualified architect I designed and built this villa in a traditional style, at the same time aiming for comfort. It is a unique property with a charming character. Many of the features were made by myself and husband, and over the years have developed a garden that is now well established with fruit trees and lawn areas. It has been a happy place where we have had many moments of sharing and celebrating with friends.
