An enchanting and timeless villa located on the outskirts of Almancil, just 3km from of Vale do Lobo and just 6km from Quinta do Lago. Villa Bispo allows guests to deeply unwind in a minimalist yet intriguing property. The exterior of this villa maintains a peach colour scheme, seen by the matching walls and tiles. This space is also home to a considerable swimming pool that also offers guests a spectacular landscape that sits before them. There is also a broad porch area that is equipped with multiple outdoor seating arrangements. In turn, guests are free to sit back, relax, and become more mindful of their blissful surroundings whilst on holiday.
Moving inside the property, you will first see the expansive and off-beat living area. This area is truly remarkable, making use of a variety of bright orange seating arrangements. These vibrant sofas are expertly contrasted with the plain white walls and off-white flooring. This also helps to create an attractive and striking contrast. Next to the living area is the combined kitchen/dining area, which adheres to a more simplistic theme. The kitchen uses a plethora of white cupboards and surfaces, helping to build a cohesive style throughout the space. Moreover, this area comes fully furnished so guests can prepare and serve a wide assortment of delicious meals whenever they please. The dining area uses a large table with a set of matching chairs, meaning that guests can enjoy every meal in a communal and desirable environment.
Travelling up to the first floor, this is where you’ll find three of the property’s bedrooms. The first bedroom includes a large double bed that is fitted with plump and decorative linens. Also, this room also leads out to an outdoor terrace, again giving amazing views of the nearby scenery. The second bedroom contains a pair of single beds and also gives access to the outdoor terrace. This room makes use of multiple natural light sources, offering guests a tranquil place to rest each night. The third room also uses a pair of single beds and follows a deep and rich purple colour scheme. Finally, the fourth bedroom uses a spacious double bed that also looks out upon the outdoor terrace located on the ground floor.
In addition to Villa Bispo’s stunning features, this villa is also placed in the prime region just 6 minutes drive form Vale do Lobo. This exquisite location attracts a wide selection of guests every year due to its energetic atmosphere and exhilarating attractions.
If you are looking to explore the awe-inspiring landscape that Algarve has to offer, horse riding offers guests the chance to explore the region in an entirely unique way. Top Hipico is an acclaimed horse riding school in Algarve and is less than half an hour away from the centre of Vale do Lobo. During your time here, guests will travel around the magnificent landscape alongside a beautiful horse, allowing guests to see all of the sights with ease and grace. Each guest will also receive a safety briefing to ensure that both you and the horse feel safe and comfortable at all times. Prices for this activity are very reasonable with a 1-hour lesson costing just €30.
Just 3 kilometres or a quick 6-minute drive from Vale de Lobo lies Cappella dos Ossos, also known as The Chapel of Bones. Despite being a bit off the beaten path, this chapel is a must-visit for enthusiasts of macabre European history. Built in the 16th century, it presents a stark contrast between its seemingly typical 19th-century exterior and the chilling sight of human remains embedded within its walls, a grim solution to overflowing graveyards.
While Vale do Lobo is known for its premium golf courses, such as Vale, do Lobo Royal Course and Vale do Lobo Ocean Course, which offer an authentic 18-hole golfing experience with varying difficulty levels and stunning views, Cappella dos Ossos offers a unique glimpse into the region's past. After a round of golf, guests can explore this eerie yet fascinating chapel, making it a well-rounded experience for those visiting the area.
