A typical characteristic Algarvian villa, tucked away in the valley of Quinta do Paraiso, Carvoeiro. The house has been remodelled with all of nowadays comfort.

A pool has been added and a dry garden has been designed around it.  On the roof we created a "Açoteia” which is a terrace on top of a building, replacing the roof.

These are particularly common in Algarve houses and can have multiple uses, from collecting rain water to drying out fruit or use as a recreational space.  It was the Arabs who introduced  this architectural feature.
