SPECTACULAR PRIVATE VILLAS: Havens of Elegance
Unique? Luxurious? One of a kind? The Red Chalet by Vila Vita ticks all these boxes and then some. Opulent and stylish comfort in an amazing seafront location with direct access to the beach. With all the elegance and charm of bygone times, yet with every comfort a modern traveller requires, this is an authentic and unique alternative to the luxury hotel experience.

Dating from the early 1900s the villa was envisaged as a seaside summer home for the wealthy Vasconcelos family, and the building is today considered an historical landmark. The renovations retained many of the original features of the period – unique wooden floors, the magnificent staircase, and antique chandeliers, as well as some beautiful, Moorish-inspired, geometric design features that pay homage to the Algarve’s rich cultural history.

It's not just the villa which exceeds expectations. Throughout your stay at the Red Chalet a personal assistant is on hand to anticipate and fulfil your needs, private chefs and baristas are available to create delicious bespoke menus and shake up some mixology magic. A sojourn here is truly a luxurious escape.

NATURAL LUXURY
One of the Algarve’s greatest luxuries is the spectacular natural beauty of the region, from the pretty inland hills and white-washed villages to the magical coastline where translucent waters invite you to explore the myriad caves, secret coves, barrier islands and looming cliffs. Here, the essence of luxury transcends the man-made and blends with the allure of nature. 

Perhaps the most luxurious commodities of all are time and contentment. In the Algarve time moves slowly, giving you the opportunity to breathe deeply, to look around you, to appreciate and enjoy your surroundings, to connect with yourself and the natural world. The Italians speak of dolce far niente, the pleasure of idleness. In the Algarve, the art of contentment is extolled - está-se bem no Algarve. With all it offers, it's an easy place to be content.
