At Villa Lage, we privilege the simple pleasures; those simple things that bonds us with the surroundings creating emotional and cultural links. Here you may flow with the seasons enjoying the warmth and cosiness of wintertime or the freshness and joy of summertime. 

Algarve is one of the few countries in Europe to enjoy 300 days of sunshine per year. Hiking, cycling, bird watching among other activities may be enjoyed even during the winter. As a private-owned villa you have access to a library filled with books written in English and Portuguese, including fiction, travel and lifestyle, cooking, architecture and design as well as a collection of Classic DVD films to play on the TV screen. 

Enjoy tranquil mornings and have breakfast graced by the scent of jasmine and lavender from the manicured gardens surrounding the villa. Bask in the quietude and allow yourself to connect with the garden, the sea, and your inner serenity.

Or, savor some fresh oysters and indulge with a bottle of Rosé to anticipate an eventually festive night with your friends that may drop by for a visit.

Dig into Algarve’s gastronomic and agricultural heritage. Delight in the smell of figs, olives, honey, oranges, and lemon trees. The region is very well known for its wines, oysters, and fresh fish.

This is a timeless Place with no obligations. You set the pace for how you would like things to be done.

At any time an exclusive dinner in the garden can be arranged - we will set the candelabra and twinkling lights to illuminate the scene. Should you wish, a private butler is available to serve dinner and drinks (price under request).

The house is located in a quiet area but if you would like to do more than relax there are plenty of activities available in at moment’s notice. Arrangements may be made for a private concierge to plan and coordinate various experiences and activities:
