Property Description

Casa Oleander is built on two levels with the kitchen and living room areas and two bedrooms on the upper level and two bedrooms and a family room on the lower level.

The villa has just been completed and is furnished to a very high standard with most rooms having a coloured feature wall in bright and modern colours. The living room and dining room area are open plan and offer spectacular views to the sea. There are full sliding patio doors off the living room and dining room allowing access to the long, narrow, modern swimming pool and terrace areas. The kitchen can be open plan or closed off using the glass sliding doors and is stunning in black and white with black granite work surfaces. It is fully equipped to the highest standard with AEG appliances and also has doors leading off to a small decked area next to the pool.

One of the bedrooms on this upper level is a twin room with a bathroom ensuite with a large walk-in shower. This bathroom also has access from outside the bedroom making it available as a service bathroom as well. The second bedroom has a double bed and and a complete bathroom ensuite with a large bath and a seperate walk-in shower and two vanity sinks. This bedroom has sea views as well as access to the pool and the twin bedroom has access to the large back garden.

The wide wooden staircase is naturally lit by a large feature skylight and leads down to the lower level where the very spacious master bedroom is located. The master bedroom has a glass window covering the whole wall at one end of room which allows natural light into the room but offers privacy at the same time as it backs onto a feature wall in natural stone. The ensuite bathroom has a big walk-in shower and there is also a seperate walk-in dressing room area. The second bedroom on this floor is furnished with twin beds and also boasts its own ensuite bathroom.

The utility room is also located on this lower level and the usual mod cons such as washing machine, tumble drier etc can be found here out of the way.

At the end of the corridor on the lower level is the family room where children and adults alike can go to watch TV, play games etc in a relaxed and safe environment,

Casa Oleander has magnificent sea views from the front of the property as well as the back of the property. The very large enclosed garden at the back has been tastefully landscaped and allows views out to the famous black rock of Praia da Luz. There is also a roof terrace which again affords almost uninterrupted sea views along the coast to the bay of Praia da Luz and out to the vast Atlantic Ocean. It is a short drive to the local beaches, or a short walk along the cliff top. Several golf courses are within a short distance and it can be reached within 10 minutes after coming off junction 2 of the motorway.

The villa offers luxury in relaxed surroundings and is ideal for both families, or couples, seeking peace and quiet yet is still within easy distance of the cosmopolitan and vibrant town of Lagos, or the sleepy old fishing villages of Luz and Burgau.

Area Description

Situated in the extreme Southwest of the Algarve, region of Portugal, Lagos was born under the sign of the sea.

This settlement, whose origins are lost in the far distant past, has been determined by the geographical shape of its bay. In fact, the first inhabitants probably come as far as the Neolithic period. People came from the Mediterranean basin - Phoenicians, Greeks and even Carthaginians.



The ancient city centre would have already emerged in the time of the Carthaginians bearing a definitive name Lacóbriga.

Various coins, remains of town walls, beautiful floor tiles prove the military, economic and cultural importance that Lacóbriga attained during the peak period of the Roman Empire that dominated the whole Mediterranean Sea.

The fall of the Roman Empire and after the conquest of the south of the Peninsula by the Arabs veiled this town with an obscure mystery; they called the city of Zawala.



In 1332 the Portuguese king D. Afonso IV ordered the restoration of the town walls and placed the Algarve Military Government Headquarters within in it.

It is in Lagos that the famous scion of the Portuguese Royal Family, Infante D. Henrique or Prince Henry the Navigator chose to settle and from it the great adventure of the Portuguese Discoveries began.

In 1434 Gil Eanes sailed from Lagos, to surpass Cabo Bojador and in 1441, the first African slaves were brought in creating the first Slave Market, which building is still standing today in central Lagos.



In 1504 D. Manuel I gave to Lagos a new city charter and later, in 1578, D. Sebastião raised Lagos to the status of a city, and from its harbour left on a fatal expedition against the Moors in North Africa from which he never returned.

In 1755 the city was almost destroyed by an earthquake; however it re-emerged from its ashes and ruins.

Today, the town still retains the atmosphere of its great cosmopolitan heritage, a fact readily visible to the visitor in its wealth of architecture and monuments.
