Tavira Villa €595,000 | Sta Catarina Fonte do Bispo Rustic Single Storey 2+1 Bed Studio Annex 148m² Plot 9,432m² Borehole Cistern Views | Property by Calvin ACPS - ACPS10879 - Faro - ACPS10879

Anyone looking for a true heaven away from the rush, where you can simply sit and absorb the moment this is the property. Just a short drive from the village of Sta Catarina Fonte do Bispo with its selection of amenities, you arrive to a hillside setting with magnificent open views and a home full of authenticity.

Dating back over 100 years, this traditional single-storey cottage retains its rustic charm with character windows, rustic beam ceilings and the warmth of an open log burner. It is the kind of place that feels instantly peaceful—private, creative, and designed for outdoor living, entertaining and slow Algarve evenings.

Layout
The main cottage offers an inviting lounge with a dedicated dining area, flowing directly onto a covered terrace—ideal for long lunches and sunset drinks. A traditional fitted kitchen makes the most of the original character of the home.

An inner corridor leads to a large family bathroom, the master bedroom, and an interconnecting bedroom. This second bedroom also benefits from separate access, creating excellent flexibility for guests or potential Air B&B use.

A major bonus is the conversion of the old adjacent outbuilding/garage into a studio space, including a kitchenette, lounge area with pull-out bed, a log burner and a shower room - ideal for visiting family, independent guests, or creative use.

The owner has also created a large covered and glazed connecting room currently used as an art studio. This space has strong potential to become an additional bedroom connected to the studio, depending on your needs.

Outside
Outside is a journey in itself—an abundance of love and art, with pebble paths leading through mature planting that gives the feeling of walking through a tropical forest. There are multiple covered terrace settings designed to embrace the views, plus an above-ground “chilling pool” for hot summer days.
You have private parking for many cars, and while the setting offers total privacy, it is not isolated—there are full-time residents nearby, so you never feel alone if you want to socialise.
