Edmundo

Overview

The buzzing town of Santa Eulalia is just a short walk away. A flower and plant-covered driveway lead guests to the beautiful Villa Edmundo. The villa shares its electric gates with another property but is otherwise private.

The villa boasts an unrivaled position on the cliffs above Praia da Oura beach. The beach can be accessed from the villa’s garden via the stairs. Please note that access to this beach can be difficult for those with poor mobility (nearby St Eulalia beach which is a short drive has better access).

The view from Edmundo is truly breath-taking. Various rooms have sea views including the living room, the large terrace, and the garden. When opening the patio doors, guests can enjoy the gentle sea breeze and the sound of the waves down below.

The living room is stylish and comfortable and provides access to the spacious terrace. From the lounge, an arch leads to the kitchen which has a breakfast room. All bedrooms have windows that open onto the garden and pool area.

It is hard to believe that this villa is just a short walk from Santa Eulalia with its variety of restaurants and bars. Some of these are visible from parts of the garden, whilst other parts offer complete privacy. The popular Areias de São João is also nearby, making this a good choice for groups with teenagers. On the other hand, why not choose this villa simply for its scenic position.

Accommodations

The entrance is to the upper floor, and the lower floor leads out to the pool and terraces. The sitting room seats 12 on modern and comfortable light-colored furniture, leading out to a large terrace and with fantastic views of the sea and coast. There is a separate home cinema room with a DVD player and surround sound.

The kitchen is new and modern, open plan with a large breakfast bar and granite worktops. It is excellently equipped with an electric cooker, stove, microwave, American fridge/freezer, toaster, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. The dining area with a large table and 10 chairs are adjacent. There is a second simpler kitchen on the pool level.

There are two double bedrooms and three twin bedrooms on the ground floor (pool level), all with en-suite bathrooms. The gym has a cycle machine, treadmill, sauna and Turkish bath (hammam).

Outdoors are terraces from which to enjoy the spectacular views. On the living room level are a wide terrace and a separate dining table with a built-in charcoal barbecue. The pool is small at about 5 m x 3 m approx and kidney-shaped with a ladder for access and a Jacuzzi. The garden has lawn, flowers, and shrubs, and a steep path leads down to the beach. Due to the layout of the garden, small children should be supervised at all times in the outdoor areas. While the garden is not large, the superb location and views make up for that. The hot water system is solar. There are an alarm and an electric gate.
