Casa Barbara

Once an old ruin at the end of a dirt road, this stunning villa is completely encompassed by nature, nestled among hundreds of olive, almond and cork trees.

Designed by Pedro Domingos arquitectos, the same architect as our sister house Casa Nexe,

the modern architecture is dominated by strong lines, white walls and concrete, creating a bold effect in the natural environment.

The construction opens itself to its surroundings through the use of large windows and doors, rooftop terraces, multiple patios and a large courtyard that contains a semi-enclosed pool.

Local materials were sourced for the handmade doors, windows and shutters, in addition to the use of natural stone for the pool, kitchen counters, sinks and benches.

Located in the Algarve, known for the Ria Formosa nature reserve, beaches, wine and ceramics, there are many attractions to make it a perfect destination for a holiday with friends or family
