Vale de Milho Golf

Built to exceptionally high standards and designed by renown architect João Laranjo, son of the Portimão architect famous for creating the distinctive “Algarvean style”, characteristic of the best developments in the region since the 1970’s, including many of Penina’s villas and apartments.

Builder Hendrik van Ooijen, with over 20 years of experience in the Algarve, has produced a building of the highest quality, that includes full structural insulation, superb finishes and all the modern amenities that buyers now expect, including underfloor heating, air-conditioning, double glazing, centrally linked electronic cabling throughout each home, not to mention the luxury touches such as jacuzzi baths, electric shutters, granite worktops, traditional tiles and huge built-in cupboards.

Our development consists of 10 three-bedroom luxury townhouses with areas between 285m2 and 335 m2, including terraces.

 They are special not only because of their proximity to the first tee but because they have exceptional view over almost every hole, the sea and much more - views that cannot be marred by any further developments.

In search of a spacious, beautifully built, lock-up and go “place in the sun” with wonderful views of both golf and sea? You’ll find it at Vale de Milho’s new luxury townhouse complex, right above the popular par 3 course.Rare finds in the property world are often announced, but rarely produced. Here at Vale de Milho, however, famous for its challenging, Dave Thomas-designed 926 metre, par 3 layout, the course owners – original developers of the Algarve’s first and most famous course, Penina Golf – have produced a gem of a complex, distinguished by its location, its build quality and the spaciousness of each and every one of its homes.

Mark Stilwell, Director of development company, Gericonstroi S.A., whose father, John, chose Henry Cotton to design and build Penina in the 1960’s, continues a proud family tradition at the head of another fine development at Vale de Milho, of which he speaks with pride. “We have many, many years of experience here” he says. “As owners and managers of the Vale de Milho course, we want our buyers to be really happy with what we build.”

The project’s rarity arises from an unusual combination of elements – a hilltop site with magnificent views of both golf course and ocean, rare in itself; offering exceptionally large homes for a multi-unit development (covered areas range from 232 to 257 m2, including garages, with usable overall areas of between 304 and 349 m2).

A tasteful choice of neutral colours for floor and wall tiles and other finishes, gives each house an elegant, restful character.
We know the importance of a comfortable home for both summer and winter” says Mark, “so we have built these for happy year round occupation”.

The site’s location, over-looking a settled, quiet, low-rise residential area, ensures that there is nothing to disturb its residents, day or night, yet it is just minutes away from Carvoeiro’s bustling centre, and some of the Algarve’s finest beaches.

Good things come in three’s at Vale de Milho. Not only does each home have three spacious, ensuite bedrooms and a guest loo, but each has no less than three terraces – one front, overlooking the large communal pool, one rear, onto the landscaped gardens and one on top, at roof level, onto the breathtaking all round views of countryside, ocean and golf course.

This array means that residents can choose sun or shade terrace, at will, any time of the year. Front terraces also have direct access to pool area and garden, so swimmers can come and go with ease.
