Sagres, Faro 8650

One of the remaining traditional village houses in Sagres, this one-bedroom home has been fully reinterpreted through a 2025 architectural renovation by Pedro Barata of an.arch.lab. Set within the historic streets of the village on Portugals Costa Vicentina, the house preserves its local character while introducing a calm contemporary interior that opens onto a private garden extending the home outdoors. Fully renovated and ready for immediate use, the property also lends itself naturally to short-term rental in Sagres year-round surf and nature destination. The entrance opens directly into a bright living room where natural light moves across terracotta floors and white walls accented with warm red tones, echoing the traditional palette of Algarve houses. Built-In niches and stepped shelving add subtle architectural character. Adjacent, the compact kitchen benefits from a skylight, while a relatively high timber ceiling enhances the sense of openness. The bedroom offers a calm retreat, and the bathroom features a circular porthole-style window referencing the maritime character of the surrounding coastline. At the rear of the house, a private 33 m² garden extends the interior outward. Framed by whitewashed walls, it functions as an intimate outdoor room suited to slow mornings, reading in the afternoon or evenings after returning from the nearby beaches.
