Villa Daiane is an impressive, elegant home within its magnificent grounds within the prestigious Quinta do Lago golfing resort, just outside Almancil on the Algarve coast. Casting a majestic sight, this villa is every inch the classic, elegant stand-alone holiday home. Framed by fragrant flowering plants, smart facade with beautiful first-floor balcony, pillared entrance and shutters - this home is opulent without being ostentatious. Guests will enter this secluded, vibrant oasis and immediately relax into the “easy luxury” feel of the villa. Villa Daiane can accommodate up to eight guests across four prettily decorated suites. The villa provides every comfort, within a classical-refined finish, while retaining a very home-like feel. Understated luxury encapsulates this home - laid back opulence! The living spaces are airy and spacious, providing natural flow between indoor and outdoor living - very much a la Algarvean way of life. The comfortable living room is bright and infused with light, via the French windows; ideal for relaxing in the evening, with those traditional touches such as original tiled flooring and open fireplace. Thoughtfully finished with buttercup yellows and dusty blues, the villa is warm and welcoming. With heating and air conditioning, warm rugs and curtains as well as ample outdoor dining space, Villa Daiane provides a pan-seasonal holiday home. The open plan dining space is ideal for relaxed family meals, while the kitchen is bright, modern and well-equipped. Each bedroom suite has its touch of design flair, giving this home so much character. Retaining the traditional design feel, there are two double bedroom suites on the ground floor, each with high-quality finishes by way of crisp bed linen, soft lighting and pretty accents of colour, framed by beautiful shuttered windows. Both provide large bathrooms. The first floor accommodates the living spaces and a further twin bedroom with bathroom - perhaps the latter is an excellent choice for children in the group. The annexe offers a fourth twin bedroom, providing both privacy and group living, making this ideal for families travelling with grandparents or a nanny/au pair, or couples holidaying in a group. The first-floor terrace offers fragrant outdoor seating, with beautiful views across the golf course. Guests will enjoy their morning coffee and pastries reclining here, or an evening glass of wine as the sun softens. The chic outdoor spaces make this villa truly special. Finished in the tone of the villa with touches of character, and timeless classic design; beautiful statues, abundant greenery and tropical plants - the gardens provide a refreshing, green idyll. The outdoor shower, barbecue and pool make an outdoor living so effortless.
