Villa Black Opal

Villa Black Opal is a truly secret hideaway in the heart of town - hidden from the world, yet a world of its own offering serenity, space and privacy.

Exterior areas:

Located on the rooftop of Villa Black Opal is the swimming pool and relaxing sunbathing area, with amazing views over the town's rooftops and the Ria Formosa. The rooftop is ideal to enjoy aperitifs at sunset, as well as "al fresco" dining. There are several terraces and outdoor sitting and lounge areas and a garage with space for one car. The kitchen opens onto a large terrace with tables and seating for 24. There is a charcoal BBQ and separate open fireplace to extend the dining out season.

Interior areas:

The interior areas of Villa Black Opal comprise twelve double bedrooms, each with a large ensuite bathroom, with walk-in shower, and in one, with an additional free-standing bath. Nine of the twelve bedrooms have the flexibility of being twin rooms. There is a large contemporary domestic kitchen and laundry room as well as another industrial prep kitchen on the ground floor. Villa Black Opal features a meditation room and two massage/treatment rooms as well as a games room with a pool table. Other features include a large winter living room with open fireplace and connected library opening onto a central courtyard. Villa Black Opal's design include clever use of natural ventilation, which is taken advantage of and boosted with ceiling fans (high quality and silent) as well as air conditioning where needed and underfloor heating throughout.
