Casa Romana is a unique, luxurious Roman-style villa, one of just four privately-owned villas situated in a secluded hilltop position close to the village of Paderne. The villa commands spectacular views of the Atlantic coast to the south and the Monchique Hills to the west and, whilst rural in setting, it is ideally positioned for exploring both the old and new Algarve. The historic towns of Silves and Loulé as well as the more modern developments of Albufeira and Vilamoura are all within easy striking distance. Casa Romana is a two-storey villa surrounded by shrubs and colourful plants. The upper level comprises three bedrooms. A fourth bedroom and the living area are accessed by a marble staircase which leads to the lower floor. The villa is largely furnished in traditional Portuguese style. Also available is a self-contained annexe for parties exceeding eight or those wishing a little extra space. Both the house and annexe have air-conditioning.
