Beehive Farm
Loule, Portugal

Beehive Farm is a beautiful four bedroom villa with private heated pool and air-conditioning situated in a secluded area in the hills north of Faro, offering complete privacy and comfortable accommodation for up to eight people. It is a twenty minute drive from the beaches and golf at Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo. It is tucked away in an elevated position on a hillside with stunning, panoramic views. The interior of the villa has been tastefully furnished to retain a traditional feel with bamboo ceilings and painted Portuguese bedroom furnishings, yet contains all the mod-cons to make your stay very comfortable.

The villa is approached down a cobbled driveway and through some gates to a large area which provides enough space to park several cars and is surrounded by pretty flower beds and a grass lawn containing fruit trees. There are two doors leading to a large garage underneath the villa which contains a table tennis table and two washing machines. From this paved parking area, there is a gate and some steps leading up to the villa which is all on one level surrounded by a large terrace containing the heated swimming pool (10m x 5m with walk-in steps), built-in barbecue and plenty of sunbeds and hammocks.
