Casa das Rochas is situated on the desirable Cumeada ridge. This elevated position gives stunning views of the rolling countryside offering complete privacy and tranquility.  The historic town of Silves is just a short drive away and the seaside resorts of  Carvoeiro and Armação de Pêra 25 minutes away by car. The driveway and parking area go from the front entrance and around the villa, down to the extensive pool area and gardens. The entrance hall invites you into the comfortable open plan living and dining room with several sets of patio doors opening up to a large south-facing balcony from which to take in the beautiful views.  The kitchen gives access to a cosy outdoor dining terrace overlooking the pool area and the gardens, situated on the lower part of the property. There is a large portable (gas) barbecue which can be used on this terrace or on the spacious pool terrace, that also boasts al-fresco dining facilities.   The pool area can be reached via the barbecue terrace by the kitchen or from the front door, going around and down via the driveway/parking area.   Parasols, a canopy and lots of comfortable seating and sun loungers make this area the place to be, from early morning to the time for a sunset drink, followed by a tasty barbecue. A table tennis table is also available for guests on the outside terrace. The garden contains its own orchard with Olive and Carab trees overlooking an orange grove together with terraced gardens planted with a large selection of palms, trees and flowering shrubs. If you like a bit more rural areas to get a glimpse of a different Algarve, yet not wanting to be too far out from the coast for the occasional day at the beach, then this is the villa for you.
