Red Chalet Information

Built at the turn of the 20th century, the Red Chalet is a historic luxury villa in the Algarve that showcases the elegance of the Belle Époque Era, inspired by the grandeur of the South of France. Set within a 1,100 m², this exceptional villa is made of two main buildings, the Main House and the White House, creating a unique retreat for families or groups of friends of up to 8 guests. With direct access to golden sands, this property is ideal for groups seeking both privacy and shared experiences while immersing in the authentic charm of the Algarve.

Once a cherished family summer home, the Red Chalet has been meticulously restored and listed as a historical building. The renovation has preserved many of its original architectural details, from the elegant Moorish-inspired geometric designs to the unique wooden floors and antique chandeliers. As you step into the main house, a large open-plan living and dining area encapsulates the charm of the past while offering modern comforts. Here, tiled floors and colourful antique furnishings create a warm, inviting ambiance. Enjoy a break from the sun on comfortable sofas, or socialise with your group around the elegant dining table during more formal dinners. Nearby, a fully-equipped modern kitchen will have everything you may need to prepare delicious meals.

Outside, expansive seafront terraces extend towards the ocean, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. An outdoor dining area provides the perfect spot where to enjoy memorable alfresco meals with a dedicated barbecue area. There is also a fire pit, ideal for evening gatherings for stargazing or sunsets. For those wishing to completely unwind through the day, recline on one of the villa's multiple lounge areas while soaking up the glorious sunhine and taking in the breathtaking ocean views.

One of the main luxury highlights of the Red Chalet is its heated outdoor swimming pool, perfect for a refreshing swim surrounded by a charming and authentic atmosphere. With a spacious sun deck, it provides a serene space to spend your afternoons by the poolside while soaking in the Algarve sunshine. For a change of scenery, children and adults alike will have endless fun, stepping onto the golden shores of the local beach and refreshing dips in the cool sea waters. After a cool sea swim, why not warm through in the villa's sauna, relaxing the muscles and allowing you to feel fully rejuvenated. There's also a massage room in the wellness area, catering to any spa treatments you would like to arrange.

Within its main house, the Red Chalet can accommodate 4 guests across two elegantly appointed bedrooms, each featuring en-suite bathrooms facilities. The upstairs landing also features a separate sitting room with a private balcony to make the most of the idyllic surroundings. Adjacent to the main house, the White House can sleep 4 additional guests, providing a more contemporary yet equally stylish retreat. On the first floor, guests will find a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a private terrace, perfect for savouring an alfresco coffee in the morning. On the ground floor, there is a studio with a double bedroom, a private lounge area and an en-suite bathroom.
