About this property
Luxurious villa with pool and idyllic lake landscape
“Refúgio de Artémis” is a luxurious rustic village located 13 km from the city of Silves, central Algarve, on the banks of the Arade dam reservoir and set in a 20 hectare property (Silves Lake), in a protected ecological reserve area. . It has a privileged and idyllic location, with panoramic views of the lake, the mountains and a green and orderly lemon orchard. A little slice of paradise.
It is the ideal destination for those seeking tranquility in contact with nature, privacy, environmental beauty, combining modernity and luxurious comfort.
The farmhouse has recently been restored to superior quality standards in finishes and equipment, and options for environmental innovation. It was designed to apply the concepts of ecologically sustainable and energy efficient. She has been a candidate for European Funds whose project has been selected and approved.
“The Artémis Refuge” is registered in Turismo de Portugal as a rural tourism development in the country house mode for full rental.
It is a space for a family or group of 10 people, which with 2 extra beds, sleeps 12. If you have children up to 3 years old, and let us know, please be aware that you have two additional cribs, and other equipment and accessories for sleeping, hygiene, food and rest. Exclude from your holiday list what we offer your children, and carry only the essentials for personal use. The minimum stay in high season is 7 nights, low or medium season varies with a minimum of 3 or 5 nights. Rates per night or per week are calculated on a 6 to 4 person basis, depending on the season. For each additional adult or child, a reduced unit value per night is added. Do the simulation.
INTERIOR
The accommodation has 5 bedrooms and 4 toilets, 3 bedrooms with a large double bed and 2 with two single beds. Very comfortable mattresses provide you with a peaceful and relaxing rest.
On the ground floor are the living rooms, the kitchen, and a suite, all with air conditioning and lake views, as well as a social WC, with shower cabin to support outdoor and pool activities. Upstairs are the other 4 bedrooms and 2 toilets. All have air conditioning and panoramic views, 2 to the reservoir, another 2 to the mountains, but also overlook the gardens, the pool and orchard. Superior rooms have balconies.
The rooms are identified by something allusive to the property: Artemis Suite (evokes the name of the house); Yellow Room (the color of orchard lemons); Flower Room (those that grow in the surrounding garden); Water Room (reflecting the tones of the lake); Green Room (in honor of ecology and protected nature).
A large living room with a dining and leisure area with comfortable sofas and flat-screen satellite TV interconnects with another room for reading and social games, both with air conditioning.
A wood burning fireplace with double-sided woodburner separates the rooms. During the winter season, it exudes both comfort and visual beauty with the crackling of the fire, in a totally safe way.
The rooms have direct access to the outdoor wooden deck, with lovely views of the lake, orchard, garden, and an old shale stone floor.
The kitchen is fully equipped with top quality equipment. The house does not use gas, only electricity.
Downstairs, living room with pool table for the joy of game lovers. A ping pong table, rackets and balls are available on request to put on the porch.
Personalized linens, towels and pool towels are provided;
OUTDOOR
The house has a wooden deck that surrounds the porches from north to south. The terraces are equipped for outdoor dining. Removable barbecue. The pool with waterfall and infinity line, is surrounded by wooden deck, has thatched hats, and sun loungers. There is an outdoor shower and a lawn area.
Water is captured from its own hole; is treated and analyzed periodically. It is drinkable, light and soft. If the taste is strange, then it is suggested to buy bottled water.
ADVANCED FEATURES
This villa has installed home automation and access control systems, so that the stay of its customers becomes the most functional, comfortable and simple, which also contribute to the reduction of energy consumption and the control of lighting.
Thus, access to the house is by a keyless code assigned to you during your stay; opening and closing of blinds, turning the air conditioning on and off, turning the lights on or off, are just a touch away, for the control of each room, or for the whole house, when entering or leaving.
Illumination in walkways is smart, turns on when it detects presence, turns off when not needed, making forgetting irrelevant; The temperature and ventilation regulation, in each room or general, can be chosen by guests at the air conditioning selection panel and are automatically controlled. Also, and centrally, home automation controls night lighting in the garden, road, access, pool lighting, temperature limits for air conditioners, and the temperature of solar panels to heat domestic water.
Our guests will just have to enjoy the beauty and sensations that are provided in this country house. We want your stay to be remembered with satisfaction and pleasure, to be an invitation to return and recommend to friends.
CURIOSITY:
"The Refuge of Artemis" Rural Tourism, is allusive to the name of its promoter, and to the greatest goddess of Greek mythology Artemis, hunting goddess, defender of wildlife, nature, breeding and also mystical goddess of the moon. Its historical significance combines with the characteristics of the place, which is also a hunting zone, a protected nature space, where wild animals live in freedom and breeding. A Zen refuge. A space of contemplation of beauty, peace and tranquility.
The logo representing the Refuge expresses the symbolism that accompanies the hunting goddess Artemis, and which personifies it: the deer, the arrow and the bow, which is also the crescent moon, and the leaves of nature.
