Casa Bavaria - A Single Storey Haven with Views That Take Your Breath Away - €725,000
THE PROPERTY
As you turn off the village road and pass through the electric gates onto the calçada natural stone driveway, you immediately sense something special. The approach to Casa Bavaria is calm, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. Set in the peaceful hamlet of Corotelo, just outside São Brás de Alportel, this single storey villa offers something increasingly precious in the Algarve: tranquillity, stunning views, and a home that's been thoughtfully upgraded to the highest standards.
The first thing that strikes you is the view. From almost every angle, you're greeted by sweeping vistas across the coastline to the east and the majestic Monchique mountains to the west. This is a property where the light changes throughout the day. Morning sun rising over the hills, golden afternoon light flooding the terraces, and sunsets that paint the sky in shades of orange and pink. It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself pausing, coffee in hand, just to take it all in.
This isn't just a house. It's a sanctuary. The current owners have cared for it deeply, upgrading over the years with new flooring, UPVC double glazed windows with mosquito screens, a modernized fitted kitchen, and a beautifully renovated en suite bathroom. Everything has been done with quality and comfort in mind, and it shows. This is a home that's ready to welcome you, with nothing to do but move in and start living.
The Heart of the Home
Enter through the covered main entrance, and you step into a large, fully fitted kitchen with a breakfast dining area. This is a bright, practical space where morning coffee and casual meals feel effortless. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, with plenty of storage and workspace. An archway leads you seamlessly into the open plan lounge and dining area, the true heart of the home.
The lounge is comfortable and inviting, with a fitted fireplace and log burner that makes winter evenings cosy and warm. Air conditioning ensures comfort year round. But the real magic happens when you open the patio doors and step out onto the southeast facing covered terrace. Suddenly, indoor and outdoor living merge. The terrace overlooks the swimming pool and gardens, with those incredible views stretching out before you. This is where you'll spend your mornings with breakfast, your afternoons with a book, your evenings with friends and a glass of wine.
The Bedrooms
To the right of the lounge, an inner hallway leads to the first bedroom. It's a good sized room with fitted wardrobes, a window overlooking the pool, and air conditioning. Adjacent is the family bathroom, well appointed and practical.
To the left of the lounge, another inner hallway leads to bedroom two and the master suite. The master bedroom is a private retreat, with fitted wardrobes, a window overlooking the pool, and a fully renovated en suite shower room. This is a space designed for relaxation, for unwinding, for starting and ending each day in comfort.
All three bedrooms are generously sized, light filled, and thoughtfully laid out. The single storey design means no stairs, no levels, just easy, accessible living that's perfect for retirees, families, or anyone who values comfort and practicality.
The Roof Terrace
Outside the house, an external staircase leads to one of the property's standout features: a large roof terrace with 360 degree views. From here, you can see the coastline stretching to the east, the rolling countryside in every direction, and the Monchique mountains rising to the west. This is the kind of space where you'll host sunset gatherings, enjoy morning yoga, or simply sit and marvel at the beauty of the Algarve. It's a private observation deck, a meditation space, a party venue, whatever you need it to be.
Outdoor Paradise
The property sits on a fully walled 2,340m² plot, offering complete privacy and mature, easy to maintain gardens. The swimming pool (8x4m) is perfectly positioned to catch maximum sun throughout the year, southeast facing and usable even in the cooler months. Around the pool and throughout the gardens, you'll find multiple seating areas, shaded spots, and sun drenched terraces, different settings for different moods.
There are two outdoor BBQs, making entertaining effortless. Whether you're hosting a casual lunch or a full dinner party, the outdoor space here is exceptional. The mature gardens provide shade, privacy, and a sense of being surrounded by nature, yet everything is easy to maintain.
An additional building currently serves as a workshop and storage area, but it could easily be converted into a studio apartment or guest accommodation, perfect if you're planning to rent, host family, or simply want extra space.
What Makes This Property Special
The calmness. The views. The feeling you get when you arrive. Casa Bavaria has been lovingly maintained, and it shows in every detail. The upgrades are high quality, the layout is practical and comfortable, and the setting is simply stunning. This is a property where you can truly relax, where the stresses of daily life melt away, where every day feels like a holiday.
The single storey design is increasingly rare and highly sought after, especially among retirees and those seeking accessible, easy living. The views are exceptional: sea, mountains, countryside. They change throughout the day, offering endless beauty and inspiration.
The Location & Lifestyle
Corotelo is a peaceful hamlet just outside São Brás de Alportel, known for its tranquillity and sense of community. The property is within walking distance of a local café that serves food throughout the day and hosts special evening events, a lovely touch that adds to the village atmosphere.
You're 20 minutes from Faro Airport, 20 minutes from the beach, and just 10 minutes from shopping and amenities in São Brás de Alportel. It's the perfect balance: peaceful and private, yet close to everything you need.
Imagine your mornings: coffee on the terrace, watching the sun rise over the hills. Your afternoons: a swim in the pool, lunch under the pergola, perhaps a walk to the local café. Your evenings: sunset from the roof terrace, dinner with friends by the BBQ, the sound of crickets as the stars come out. This is Algarve living at its best.
Perfect For
This property is ideal for retirees seeking a permanent home in the sun. Single storey, easy to maintain, with stunning views and a peaceful setting. It's perfect for those who love to entertain, with multiple outdoor spaces, two BBQs, and a layout that flows beautifully from inside to out.
It's also an excellent investment as a holiday rental. The combination of sea views, pool, roof terrace, and tranquil location makes it highly attractive to discerning guests. The property is turnkey, recently upgraded, beautifully presented, and ready to generate income immediately.
Investment & Value
At €725,000, Casa Bavaria is competitively priced to sell quickly. Single storey villas with sea views in this area are highly sought after, and properties of this quality don't stay on the market long. The recent upgrades (double glazing, new flooring, renovated en suite, modern kitchen) add significant value, and the potential to convert the workshop into a studio apartment offers even more flexibility and income potential.
The energy rating is D (representing the property before the recent renovations), but with the new double glazing and upgrades, efficiency has improved. Running costs are reasonable, and the mature gardens mean low maintenance.
