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. 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.

Located between Silves and Messines, it is at roughly a 12mins drive to either side. Several café/restaurants are in the vicinity at a 5mins drive away. A wider choice of restaurants and several supermarkets are to be found in Silves and in Messines. The closest beaches are those of Armação de Pêra and of Carvoeiro at about 20kms. If travelling in August, the Silves Medieval Festival takes place from the 10-23 August 2023. The entire old town is a giant medieval market, with Silves Castle at the centre of the activities. Well worth a visit!
