Luxury Algarve townhouse in Ferragudo – Onda Azul

If you are looking to stay in a stylish Portuguese property that clings on to its traditional origins, set within the confines of a timeless Algarve village, look no further than Onda Azul.

Onda azul

This three-bedroom house is located in the beautiful town of Ferragudo and is just 850 metres from a stunning sandy beach. Quirky artwork and furniture that combines rustic and traditional pieces with modern and convenient items, craft an interesting and compelling décor. Natural materials, including wood, ceramics and stone dominate Onda Azul’s quaint and remarkable makeup. In short, it becomes clear from the outset that this stunning Algarvan property is owned by an artist.

This luxury Algarve townhouse in Ferragudo provides ample room for six guests to spread out in comfort. High-beamed ceilings, an imposing archway and colourful picture tiles in the kitchen are three dominant features of Onda Azul’s downstairs.

Town houses in this part of the world are not typically well-endowed with outdoor space. On the contrary, Onda Azul boasts an ample first floor terrace. On this stunning terrace guests can cool down and have fun in a characterful plunge pool. A tall palm tree provides some shade when sunbathing on the terrace’s cool, ceramic tiles proves a little too hot!

As compelling and inspiring a holiday home Onda Azul might be, guests are encouraged to explore the many delights of Ferragudo that lie on their doorstep.

Situated on the river estuary of the Rio Arade, Ferragudo is a beautiful village, its beauty augmented by exquisite natural surroundings. Despite having been dubbed as the Algarve’s new ‘hot spot’, much of Ferragudo’s appeal stems through its timeless, traditional character. Many of the village’s whitewashed houses that tumble down the hillside are owned by fisherman, whose families have lived in Ferragudo for generations.

Fringed by palm trees and the vibrant colour of flowers, walking along the narrow river let towards the town’s main square is a simple pleasure that is missing from many livelier, less traditional resorts. A network of cobbled streets gather at Ferragudo’s charismatic, flagged square, which is lined with cafes, bars and locals and visitors alike enjoying a leisurely day in the sun.

The artistic zest of Onda Azul can be found in equal doses in Ferragudo, where art galleries, antique shops and craft stores can be discovered and enjoyed.

In short, of you are looking for a taste of ‘real’ Portugal with an essence on art, which includes having the gorgeous, sandy beaches the Algarve has become synonymous with at your disposal, a visit to Ferragudo and a stay at the wonderful Onda Azul is beckoning.
