Soulful Windmill Retreat in the Algarve Countryside

Tucked away amidst peaceful vineyards near the charming village of Guia, this beautifully restored windmill home offers an intimate and soulful escape in the heart of the Algarve. Blending rustic elegance with modern comfort, this unique countryside retreat is designed for up to four guests — ideal for couples, friends, or small families in search of serenity, just minutes from the golden beaches of Galé and Albufeira.

The Home

With approximately 135 m² of interior space (excluding terraces and gardens) and nestled on a private 3,000 m² plot, this gated property is a haven of calm and style. Inside, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms:

• The master suite features a king-size bed, walk-in closet, and ensuite shower room.

• The second bedroom, also with a king-size bed, has access to a separate, beautifully appointed shower room.

At the heart of the home, the open-concept living and dining area flows seamlessly into a fully equipped kitchen — perfect for long, slow meals and cosy evenings by the fireplace. A charming mezzanine above offers a tranquil reading nook that opens onto a 360º rooftop terrace with sweeping views over the surrounding vineyards and the distant sea.

Outdoor Living

French doors open onto a sun-drenched private terrace, ideal for al fresco dining under the southern skies. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the heated pool, unwind on the sun loungers, or simply stroll through the lush Mediterranean garden. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee on the terrace or watching the sunset with a glass of local wine, this home invites you to slow down and savour every moment.
