Ferragudo Beach used to belong the the next door Castle of Ferragudo. In 2016 the current owners started the transformation of the carriage house into a first class, luxury villa. The villa sits next to the beach at the foot of the castle and is only a five minute walk into the centre of Ferragudo. Ferragudo is a picturesque fishing village with a good selection of charming restaurants, bars and shops. It lies at the mouth of the Arade River, opposite the sensational beach of Praia da Rocha and the tourist hotspot of Portimao. The village is a hidden gem that has retained its traditional charm and boasts a beautiful palm-lined riverfront, the splendid Praia Grande and a gorgeous village square.

The restoration of Ferragudo Beach is highly impressive. It now boasts spectacular, seamless living space, eight bedrooms, all with ensuite shower rooms and beautiful outdoor space. The double height living space features a superbly comfortable living area with a gorgeous, oversized, mustard coloured corner sofa and trendy chairs, a stylish dining area, a small bar and the most amazing kitchen. The kitchen is sensational with a large induction hob, wine fridge, double hot air oven, two fridges, a dishwasher, coffee machine and everything else you could possible need. It boasts a central island and stools so that guests can keep the chefs in your group company. The dining table is oversized and seats all sixteen guests at once. Guests can relax on the lavish sofa and chairs enjoying the smart television or Sonos sound system looking up above at the incredible beams or out to the pretty garden. The colour palettes and diverse materials are stunning, beautiful blends of dazzling white, wood, brick and lavish velvets. Four of the bedroom suites are located on the ground floor, all heavenly nests with beautiful features, luxury linens, gorgeous garden views and immaculate ensuite shower rooms.

A trendy, contemporary staircase takes you up to the large mezzanine level which functions as another relaxation area and offers the most spectacular views of the living space. The remaining four bedroom suites are located on the upper level. All in dazzling white, they boast divine beamed ceilings, minimalist styling, lavish beds dressed in hotel quality linens and superb, contemporary shower rooms with the very best of fittings.
