The property is easily accessible both on foot and by car, directly from the public road, and includes parking for two vehicles. Inspired by traditional urban architecture, the villa occupies the highest point of a 950sqm plot, blending harmoniously into its surroundings. It comprises a main ground floor and an attic level. The main floor includes a living room with fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen with central island, two bedrooms, one of which is en suite, and a second bathroom. Surrounding this floor are a variety of outdoor spaces and secluded corners, most notably the large covered terrace to the east, which opens onto the landscape of the Algarve's foothills. At attic level, a mezzanine opens onto the living room, adding a distinctive dimension to the space and allowing for versatile use. From here, there is also private access to a rooftop terrace, offering panoramic views over the village and Salir Castle, extending further into the surrounding mountains. The ground-floor terrace also features a jacuzzi. Although predominantly east-facing, the villa benefits from excellent sun exposure. Built to a good standard, both in terms of materials and finishes, the property is in excellent condition. Additional features include electric underfloor heating in some areas, air conditioning, solar panels, double glazing and electric shutters. The particularly successful relationship between the interior and exterior means that the outdoor spaces function almost as a natural extension of the interiors, extending the usable living areas of the house and allowing its occupants to enjoy throughout the day the light, landscape and tranquillity that characterise this location. The combination of traditional-inspired architecture, a privileged position in the historic centre of Salir and its close relationship with the surrounding landscape gives the property a distinctive character that would be difficult to recreate in a recent construction.
