Villas For Sale In Europe

This villa for sale in Kalmthout stands on a fully fenced 1,281 m² plot, with a south-facing terrace and a double garage inside the house. Built in 1986 and in good condition, it gives a family about 340 m² of living area on a quiet, green street in the north of Antwerp province, close to the Dutch border. ### Inside the House: Two Floors and Flexible Rooms The front door opens into a wide entrance hall with a guest toilet. To one side is an office that can double as a bedroom, useful if you work from home or someone needs a room without stairs. On the other side is the living room, about 60 m², lit by large windows and warmed by a central see-through fireplace. Sliding doors lead straight onto the south-facing terrace, so on a dry evening the room effectively continues outside. The semi-open kitchen has an oven, fridge, double sink and gas stove, with a storage room next to it for everything that would otherwise clutter the worktops. Also on the ground floor: a bathroom with bath, double washbasin and toilet, and a separate laundry room with connections for a washing machine and dryer. The double garage connects to the house from inside, so unloading the shopping in the rain is a short walk. A solid wooden staircase rises to an open landing and three bedrooms, each with room for beds and wardrobes. A further large room upstairs is still open to your ideas. The seller describes it as a possible main suite with private bathroom and walk-in closet, or alternatively a playroom, gym or hobby room. There is one bathroom at the moment, so a suite would be a project of your own. A recently installed central heating boiler means one major system is already up to date. ### A Fully Fenced Garden on 1,281 m² The garden is the ... click here to read more

This renovated villa for sale in Lanaken sits in the Gellik district on a 1,492 m² plot, with 292 m² of living space and four bedrooms. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the ground floor, so everyday life happens on one level. A separate upper floor with its own staircase gives you room for guests, an office or grown-up children. The house was renovated in 2022 and has solar panels and a 10.2 kW home battery, so there is no long to-do list waiting for the new owner. ### A Single-Level Villa with a Flexible Upper Floor You enter through a roomy hall with a large cloakroom and a guest toilet. The living area runs open-plan from a dining space to a sitting area, with space for a big table and a proper sofa corner. The fully renovated kitchen opens straight onto the terrace and garden, so you can carry breakfast outside without crossing another room. Behind the kitchen is a utility room with extra storage, a fridge and a built-in microwave. It also has a side entrance, handy when you come home with muddy boots or a boot full of shopping. The laundry room has a wide countertop, a sink, built-in cabinets and connections for a washing machine and dryer. From there you reach the garage, which holds one car. The ground floor has two bedrooms. The first is large and has an adjoining room that the current owners use as an office or dressing room. The second bedroom is at the back, looks onto the terrace and has air conditioning. The ground-floor bathroom has a walk-in shower, a bathtub, a double sink and a toilet. Upstairs you find three separate rooms and a bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. The staircase starts in the garage, which keeps this floor apart from the main living area. It could work as extra bedrooms, ... click here to read more

This detached villa for sale in Hamont-Achel stands on 1,932 m² of land with a permitted 120 m² workshop beside the garden. Built in 1989 and well kept, it has 329 m² of living space over three levels, and the Dutch border is only a few minutes away. It suits a large family, or anyone who needs real room for tools, vehicles or a small business next to the house. ### A Family Villa on Three Levels The ground floor starts with a wide entrance hall, a guest toilet and the staircase up. Two separate living rooms sit off the hall. One can serve as the everyday room and the other as a quieter sitting room. The seller notes that one could also become a ground-floor bedroom, which is useful if stairs become a concern later. The kitchen connects directly to the living areas. The integrated garage is currently used as an office and can go back to being a garage. Upstairs are three bedrooms. The main one has a west-facing balcony over the garden, so evening light reaches it. The family bathroom has a shower, bathtub and vanity unit, with a separate toilet next to it. A storage room on this floor could be turned into a fourth bedroom. A fixed staircase leads to the attic, which has another bedroom and a lot of storage, and the basement adds more. The listing counts four bedrooms, but the layout gives you room to go beyond that. ### The Workshop, Carport and Garden The 120 m² workshop (8 x 15 m) was built in 1996 and is described as permitted. That is rare on a private house plot. It could serve as a joinery or mechanics space, a place for a hobby, or storage for a trade. Check the permitted use with the municipality before you plan anything commercial. Other outbuildings include a wide double carport, a bicycle store, a covere ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Tavira sits in a gated condominium, ten minutes' walk from the old town, with a private pool and sea views. Villa "Mar" is a detached three-bedroom, three-bathroom house in Quinta da Pegada, a quiet, tree-lined residential area on the edge of Tavira's historic centre. It is sold fully furnished, so you can arrive with a suitcase and be at the pool the same afternoon. For a second home in Portugal, that matters more than most people expect. ### The Villa: Three Floors and a 103 m² Basement The house is built over three floors, with about 149 m² of main living space and a 103 m² basement and garage, 252 m² in total. The main floors hold the three bedrooms, three bathrooms and the living areas. The basement is the part people tend to remember. It is big enough for a car, bikes and beach gear, and it could also work as a hobby room, a games space or a place for guests to spread out. The villa is in good condition, so there is no renovation project waiting for you. The furniture is included, which also makes it simpler to start using the house as a holiday base straight away. ### Pool, Garden and Sea Views on a 356 m² Plot Landscaped gardens surround the private swimming pool, and the plot covers 356 m². There is room for an outdoor dining table, a few sun loungers and a shady corner for a long lunch. From the property you get views towards the sea, which is the kind of detail you notice on the first evening, when you are sitting outside with a glass of something cold and the light goes soft. The house sits inside a gated condominium and has its own parking. If you plan to leave it empty for part of the year, the gated setting is a practical advantage. ### Living in Tavira: The Old Town on Foot ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Maasmechelen, Limburg, was built in 2024 and stands on a 710 m² fenced plot with solar panels and a heat pump. You can move in without picking up a paintbrush. The house has 243 m² of living space, three bedrooms upstairs and a ground-floor room that could become a fourth. The rear garden faces southeast, so the morning sun reaches the terrace area first. For a family that wants a modern Belgian house with the technical work already done, this is a straightforward choice. ### The House: 243 m² of Modern Living Space The entrance hall opens straight onto the main living area. Living room, dining space and kitchen share one open plan, and large windows and sliding doors bring in daylight and lead out to the garden. The kitchen is the room you will notice first. It has a ceramic worktop with thickened edges, an induction hob, a Novy extractor hood, an oven, a microwave, a dishwasher and a Bauknecht fridge. A Quooker boiling-water tap and power outlets built into the worktop are already installed. A discreet door leads to a utility room, which can also be reached from outside, so muddy boots and garden tools never need to cross the living room. Next to the living area is a room currently used as a playroom. Plumbing for a shower is already in place, so it can be converted into a ground-floor bedroom with its own bathroom. That helps if grandparents move in or guests stay for a while. The ground floor also has a technical room and a separate guest toilet. ### Bedrooms, Bathroom and Technology Three bedrooms sit on the first floor, two of them with built-in wardrobes, and USB outlets are fitted in the bedrooms. The bathroom has a double washbasin, a heated mirror, a large walk-in shower and a bath ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom villa for sale in Quelfes, Algarve, sits on 2.6 hectares of land just inland from Olhão and the Ria Formosa lagoon. The house is compact at 77 m², but the plot is the real story: 26,480 m² of space, offered at 698,000 EUR, in a part of Portugal where land of this size close to the coast is not easy to come by. ### The Villa and Its 2.6 Hectares The living area is 77 m², arranged as three bedrooms and one bathroom. That suits a couple, a small family or two couples sharing: easy to keep cool in July, easy to heat in January, easy to lock up and leave between visits. The condition is listed as good, so this is not a restoration project. Finishes, kitchen and bathroom are things to judge in person. The land changes the picture. At roughly 2.6 hectares, this is far more than a garden. Many people who buy plots like this in the eastern Algarve plant fruit trees, grow vegetables, keep a few animals or simply enjoy the privacy and the silence. The data we have does not list a pool, outbuildings or views, so we won't promise any. What we can do is get you the practical details: boundaries, access road, water supply, what is already growing on the plot. If you are already picturing a pool, a guest studio or an orchard, remember that anything you add depends on how the land is classified and on municipal planning rules. A Portuguese lawyer or architect should check this before you commit, not after. ### Living in Quelfes and Around Olhão Quelfes is a village in the municipality of Olhão, in the Faro district of the eastern Algarve. Day to day, Olhão is your town. It is a working fishing port with market halls on the waterfront, cafés along the seafront gardens and a good choice of seafood restaurants. It is al ... click here to read more

This single-storey villa for sale in Almancil gives you four bedrooms, a pool and an outdoor kitchen on a 700 m² plot in the central Algarve. Everything sits on one level, behind a gate, with mature greenery around the house and a cobblestone driveway that sets a traditional Portuguese tone before you reach the front door. It is in good condition, so you can move in and start using the pool rather than planning a renovation. ### The Villa: 177 m² on One Level The living area totals 177 m², and the layout is simple to live in. The open-plan living and dining room is the main space. It has a fireplace, large windows and light-toned tile flooring that keeps the room bright and cool in summer. On a winter evening the fireplace gives you a reason to stay in. The kitchen has white cabinetry, an integrated oven and microwave, and a warm wooden preparation counter that adds some colour to the room. It opens naturally towards the dining area, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The bedrooms are finished in a clean, minimal style: white walls, built-in sliding wardrobes and windows facing the garden. The primary bedroom measures 16 m². With three bathrooms, a family or two couples sharing a holiday home will not be queuing in the morning. The bathrooms are the part of the house people remember. They combine multi-coloured patchwork mosaic tiling with plain white wall tiles, and the walk-in showers are glass-enclosed. ### Outdoors: Pool, Outdoor Kitchen and Garden The pool and outdoor kitchen are at the back of the house, away from the gated front entrance. That is where an Algarve summer is spent: grilling something simple, eating outside late, and swimming before breakfast. The garden is mature and green, ... click here to read more

This three-bedroom house for sale in Lussac-les-Châteaux puts 145 m² of living space and a courtyard garden a few steps from the town's shops. At €99,000 it is a lot of house for the money: a 22 m² lounge with an open fireplace, three bedrooms upstairs and an attic big enough to rethink. It is in good condition, and what remains to do is mostly cosmetic. ### The House: 145 m² Over Three Levels The ground floor starts with an entrance hall and a living room. Beyond it is the lounge, 22 m² with oak flooring and a fireplace, which is the room you will want on a November evening. The 17 m² kitchen opens straight onto the garden, so in summer you can cook with the door wide open and carry dinner outside. A bathroom and a separate WC finish the level. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. Above them sits a large attic described as convertible. A fourth bedroom, a studio or a play space are the obvious ideas, though any conversion would need the usual checks on headroom, insulation and planning permission. The house has a heat pump and an energy label of C, which is a solid result for an older village property. The previous owners have left it in good order. A little fresh paint and a few decorative choices would make it yours, and you would not need to gut anything first. ### Courtyard, Lawn and Outbuildings The plot is 351 m², compact enough to look after from a distance and big enough to use. There is a courtyard, a lawn, and outbuildings for bikes, tools, garden furniture or a workshop corner. It is a manageable outdoor space for a second home in France, where you want to arrive, open the shutters and sit outside rather than spend the weekend mowing. ### Living in Lussac-les-Châteaux Lussac-les-Châteaux is a small town ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Vila do Bispo is a two-bedroom semi-detached village house in Raposeira, a short drive from the Algarve's west coast beaches. It sits in a quiet village just minutes from Vila do Bispo town, in good condition, and is priced at 180,000 EUR. The scale suits a buyer who wants a manageable second home in the western Algarve: 54 m² of living space, a terrace and a balcony, and no big garden to look after while you are away. ### The House in Raposeira Raposeira is a small, traditional village in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, the westernmost municipality on the Algarve coast. Life here runs at village pace. You will hear neighbours more than traffic, and the nearest cafés and shops are a short drive away in Vila do Bispo itself. The house is semi-detached and stands on a compact 60 m² plot. That makes it a lock-up-and-leave property: close the shutters, hand the key to a neighbour or a local caretaker, and fly home. It is listed in good condition, so the first summer can be spent at the beach rather than with builders. A viewing will tell you how much you would want to personalise. ### Inside: Layout, Terrace and Balcony The main living space is a large living room, which is generous for a house of this size. Next to it is an equipped kitchen, so you can cook from the first evening. There is one bathroom with a shower. The two bedrooms are on different levels. One is on the ground floor, which is useful for guests or anyone who prefers to avoid stairs at night. The other is in the attic, a good option for a private retreat or for children. The house also has an outdoor terrace and a balcony. Think breakfast outside in the morning, and a glass of something cold on the balcony once the day cools ... click here to read more

This renovated 4-bedroom villa for sale in Samsø has sea and Stauns Fjord views from several rooms and 327 m² of living space. It stands on the road to Besser Rev, with open island countryside around it and a landscaped garden of 2,176 m². The house dates from 1887 and was extensively renovated in 2024. The old proportions are still there, but the kitchen, bathrooms and heating have been modernised, and the owners chose their materials with care. ### A Renovated 1887 House on Samsø The walls are brick and wood under a metal roof, a combination that suits an exposed island setting. Inside, continuous solid Dinesen Douglas fir flooring runs through the house, and underfloor heating keeps it comfortable. An air-to-water heat pump supplies the heat, and the energy label is B. For an older building of this size, that is a useful figure to see. The former carriage house is now a roomy entrance hall that leads to the main hall and the staircase. Off the entrance you will find a utility area with a scullery, a laundry room and a toilet. There is also an extra room that the owners currently use as a shop. In total the house has eight rooms, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and four toilets. ### Inside: Kitchen, Living Room and Yoga Studio The kitchen and dining area is the centre of the house. The kitchen has solid Douglas fir fronts, Japanese mosaic tiles, a Corian worktop, a Quooker tap and fully integrated Miele appliances. Doors open straight onto the south- and west-facing terraces, so breakfast outside and a late supper in the evening sun are both easy. The living room opens onto the kitchen. It has a Lotus fireplace and large windows that frame the sea. Two bedrooms and a large bathroom with Vola fixtures complete the g ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Dilsen-Stokkem, Limburg, pairs 266 m² of living space and an EPC A rating with a west-facing garden of 1,015 m². Built in 2007, the detached house has been looked after with real care. It has three bedrooms, a dressing room, a double garage and a fenced garden with automated gates. Everything is in good condition, so you can move in and start living rather than planning works. It suits a family that wants room to spread out. It also works for a buyer looking for a second home in Belgium who wants low running costs and a house that can be left in good order between visits. ### The House: 266 m² Over Two Floors You enter through a tidy hall with a guest toilet and an open wooden staircase. The ground floor is built around light. Large windows run along the garden side, and the living room, kitchen and dining area flow into one another without walls cutting them up. The living room has a wooden floor and a gas fireplace, which makes it the obvious place to be on a grey Limburg evening. The kitchen is fully fitted with plenty of storage and a breakfast nook. The appliances are Siemens, Bosch and Novy. Next to it, the dining area has wide glass panels facing the garden, so you eat with the lawn and borders in front of you. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a separate dressing room. The bathroom is modern, with a wide vanity unit and double sinks, which helps on busy mornings. There is a separate toilet on this floor too. ### A West-Facing Garden of 1,015 m² The garden has been laid out with hedges, flowering borders, a proper lawn and several places to sit. A terrace sits right against the house for outdoor meals. Further down the garden, a pergola gives you a quieter, more private corner. Because ... click here to read more

A villa for sale in Setúbal district: five bedrooms and 490 m² of living space on a 1,307 m² plot in São Simão. It is a big house for a family, or for two families sharing one roof, in one of the most sought-after corners of the Lisbon region. Most buyers looking at a villa for sale in Setúbal want room to spread out without losing the Lisbon connection. This house delivers the room. The living area is generous, the plot is bigger than most you find near the coast, and the setting puts you between the Arrábida hills and the Tagus estuary. ### The House: Five Bedrooms, Four Bathrooms, 490 m² The numbers are the story here. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms across 490 m² means each bedroom can realistically have its own bathroom or sit close to one. That matters when you have grown children visiting, friends staying for the whole of August, or parents living with you part of the year. The condition is listed as good, so this is not a renovation project. You would not be budgeting for a gut job before the first summer. As with any house of this size, though, plan a visit with an architect or builder you trust, and check the roof, the electrics, the heating and the windows before you make an offer. The listing does not detail extras such as a pool, garage or terraces, so ask for the full floor plans and a list of what comes with the house. We will pass your questions on. ### The 1,307 m² Plot The plot is roughly two and a half times the footprint of the living area. That leaves real outdoor space for a garden, a dining area for long lunches, or play space for children. If you are thinking about adding a pool, ask early about local planning rules and what the municipality allows on a plot of this size. Land needs looki ... click here to read more

This renovated villa for sale in Almancil sits on 1,815 m² of pine-shaded plot in Fonte Algarve, a few minutes from Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago. It has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and 290 m² of living space across three levels. Most days here will happen on the south-facing terraces, around the pool and in the outdoor kitchen. The renovation is recent and the house is presented as move-in ready, so you can arrive with suitcases rather than a builder's schedule. ### The House: Three Levels, Five Bedrooms The main floor is one open space that holds the living room, dining area and a contemporary kitchen fitted with Bosch appliances. A separate support pantry keeps the mess out of sight when you have guests. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors run along the terrace side, so on a warm evening the whole room opens onto the garden. The principal suite takes up the entire upper floor. It has a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a freestanding bathtub. From the bedroom you look out over the surrounding pine trees rather than at a neighbour's roof. The lower level is the entertaining floor. It holds a lounge, a bar area, a multimedia room, a laundry room and additional guest suites. With six bathrooms in total, a full house of family or friends will not queue for a shower. The listing gives roughly 407 m² of built area including all three levels, against 290 m² of living space. ### Outdoors: Pool, Terraces and Pine Trees The plot is 1,815 m², which is generous for this part of the Algarve. The south-facing terraces carry the day's sun, with a lounge area around a firepit, a spot for alfresco dining, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a barbecue. The private swimming pool sits within landscaped gardens, and there is also a ... click here to read more

This single-storey villa for sale in Moncarapacho has four bedrooms, a self-contained snug with kitchenette and 2,640 m² of fully fenced grounds. It sits about five minutes from the village in the Eastern Algarve, on a mostly level plot shaded by established trees. Inside are 200 m² of living space, three bathrooms and air conditioning, all on one floor. The house suits a family with children just as well as one with grandparents in tow. If you have been searching Portugal real estate for somewhere with room to spread out, this is a lot of land to find within minutes of a village. ### The House: Four Bedrooms on One Level A single storey matters more than it sounds. There are no stairs for older relatives, the garden is a short step from the living areas, and upkeep is simple if you only use the place part of the year. The villa has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with generous reception rooms for family meals and long lunches that run into the afternoon. The kitchen is bright and gets plenty of sun. The property is in good condition. It has double glazing, air conditioning and a mains water connection, which covers the basics for the hot Algarve summers. What sets it apart from other four-bedroom homes is the additional snug room, which has its own kitchenette. You could use it as a guest annex, a base for a parent or a grown-up child, or simply a quiet second living space. It stays connected to the main house but gives whoever uses it real independence. If you are thinking about holiday-rental income, take local advice on licensing before you plan around it. ### Garden and Grounds: 2,640 m² Fully Enclosed The plot is predominantly level and fully fenced, with mature gardens and established trees. That combinat ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Luz de Tavira has a private pool, a rooftop terrace with views over the Ria Formosa and a train station a short walk away. It is a contemporary three-bedroom house with 180 m² of living space on a 537 m² plot, rated A for energy, in a quiet residential corner of the East Algarve. The eastern end of the Algarve is the calmer one. Fewer high-rises, more fishing-village rhythm, and the lagoons and sandbanks of the Ria Formosa Natural Park close by. This house suits that setting: modern inside, open to the outdoors, and easy to run whether you live here all year or only for a few months at a time. ### The House: Layout and Condition You step from the entrance straight into an open-plan living, dining and fully fitted kitchen area. Large glass doors open onto the terrace and the swimming pool, so on a warm day the living room simply extends outside. The ground floor also holds a modern bathroom and a flexible bedroom with its own terrace facing the back garden. Keep it as a guest room, or turn it into a home office, a lounge or a small gym. Upstairs there are two en-suite bedrooms. Each has built-in wardrobes, a walk-in shower and its own balcony looking towards the Ria Formosa. Morning coffee out there is hard to beat. The villa is in good condition, so there is no renovation to budget for. It is sold unfurnished. Any furnished images in the original marketing material are illustrative only. ### Pool, Terraces and Rooftop Views The rooftop terrace is what sets this house apart from other villas in the area. Climb up and the view runs across the Ria Formosa towards the sea. A pergola gives shade over the seating area, and a fitted kitchen and barbecue mean you can cook and eat up there without go ... click here to read more

This detached villa for sale in Lommel, Limburg, has 371 m² of living space on a 1,450 m² wooded plot, five minutes from the Dutch border. Built in 1998 and in good condition, it stands in a quiet villa park among mature trees, with a southwest-facing garden around the house. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a hobby room and parking for several cars make it a practical base for a family, or for anyone who needs space on both sides of the border. ### A Villa Park Setting in Lommel The house sits in a forested villa park, so the first thing you notice is how little you hear. Neighbours are there, but the plot size and the trees and shrubs along the boundaries keep each house to itself. The garden faces southwest, which means sun on the terrace side from the afternoon into the evening. An irrigation system keeps the planting going through dry spells, a real help on a plot of this size. For anyone working in the Netherlands or with family there, the border is about five minutes away. That is a rare thing to find in a house with this much room. ### Inside: A Ground-Floor Bedroom, Two Upstairs and a Hobby Room The living room is built around a wood-burning stove and an open fireplace. Large windows look straight onto the garden, so the room stays light even when the trees are in full leaf. Next to it is a country-style kitchen with built-in appliances, plenty of cupboard space and enough worktop for real cooking. One large bedroom and a full bathroom are on the ground floor. The bathroom has a shower, bath, double washbasin and toilet. That layout suits guests, grandparents, or anyone who would rather not climb stairs every day. An indoor garage with a sectional door connects directly to the house, so you can unload the sh ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Schüttorf is an early 20th-century Jugendstil house with 11 bedrooms, a conservatory and a garden pavilion with sauna. It stands among mature trees on a plot of 2,428 m². The house shows its character slowly: the oak paneling first, then the light in the conservatory, then the garden behind it. Locally it is known as The Blue Villa, and at 384 m² of living space over four levels it works as a large family home, a house with a separate guest floor, or a base for living and working under one roof. ### The House Floor by Floor The ground floor is built for company. Several salons and sitting rooms open into one another, with high ceilings and large windows keeping the sightlines long and the rooms bright. The kitchen is spacious and sits beside a classic Wintergarten-style conservatory. Its big glass panels face the garden, so you can have breakfast with the trees almost in the room. The hunting room is the showpiece. It has wood paneling, carved detail and built-in oak cabinets, and it feels like a private study from another era. Other ground-floor rooms are flexible enough to serve as a library, studio, home office or consulting room. Upstairs, the first floor is quieter. It holds several bedrooms and bathrooms with views into the greenery, and it already has its own separate entrance. That makes it easy to host guests, house a relative or split private and professional use. The second floor is a full living level with a flexible layout. Two of the villa's five bathrooms are here, so extra suites, studios or workspaces would be straightforward to set up. The basement is more than a cellar. It has daylight, good finishes, additional sleeping and hobby rooms, a bathroom, technical rooms, a full l ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Rijkevorsel sits on 3,288 m² beside Hoogstraten and comes with a separate 100 m² office or practice. That detail changes who the house suits. With 512 m² of living space, seven bedrooms and a fenced garden with its own pond, it works as a large family home, and it also lets someone work from home without turning the dining room into an office. Built in 1995 and in good condition, the villa had its technical installations completely revised in 2023. It carries energy label B. The setting is the flat, green Kempen countryside of Antwerp province, a short drive from the Dutch border and close to the centre of Hoogstraten. ### Villa for Sale in Rijkevorsel: Living and Working Under One Roof Inside, a grand entrance leads to a living room of about 81 m² with an antique fireplace and a wood-burning stove. Large windows face the terrace, the garden and the fields beyond, so the view is open countryside rather than the neighbours' roofs. The fully equipped kitchen, with built-in appliances, connects directly to the living room. Evening cooking and a fire in the grate happen in the same space. The ground floor also has a dedicated office, a large utility room and a separate laundry room. Upstairs, the master bedroom has its own dressing room, and one of the other bedrooms has a private bathroom. A linen room keeps the landing tidy. In total there are seven bedrooms and three bathrooms, enough for a big family, for guests, or for a mix of bedrooms and hobby rooms. The attic covers about 100 m² and is used for storage today. The seller points to its potential as extra living space, a playroom or a hobby area. Any conversion would need the usual permits, so check the options with the municipality first. ... click here to read more

A detached 3-bed villa for sale in Rojales, Alicante, with open countryside views over olive groves, a garden and private parking on the plot. It sits just outside Los Montesinos, in the quiet inland Vega Baja and a short drive from the southern Costa Blanca coast. The villa is sold furnished and with white goods, so you can arrive with a suitcase and be settled by dinner. It has 97 m² of living space on a 176 m² plot, sized for easy upkeep, and the asking price is €255,000. ### The Villa for Sale in Rojales: Layout and Condition The front door opens onto a porch, and it is worth pausing there. It is a natural place for a first coffee or an evening drink once the day cools down. Inside, the kitchen, living and dining areas share one open-plan space. It is the social centre of the house, and anyone cooking stays part of the conversation. One bedroom and one bathroom are on the ground floor. That is useful for visiting guests, for relatives who prefer to avoid stairs, or for you if you want to live on one level. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share access to a terrace that looks out over the surrounding olive groves. The master bedroom is generously sized. In total you get three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The condition is listed as good, and with furniture and white goods included there is no shopping list to work through. As with any Spanish purchase, have an independent surveyor check the details before you sign. ### Garden, Parking and Pool Potential The garden is a good size for a plot of 176 m², and it is a blank canvas. You could plant it out with Mediterranean shrubs, add an outdoor dining area under a pergola, or create a play space for grandchildren. Parking is private and inside the plot, so you never need to ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom villa for sale in Bellapais, Kyrenia, sits on a cliffside with sea, mountain and Bellapais Abbey views from the largest bedroom terrace. It is an older house, built in the 1960s and renovated in 2006, and it keeps its stone floors, its fireplace and the proportions of a traditional Cypriot home. If you want sharp new-build finishes, this is not the one. If you want a house with a past, a short walk from the abbey, keep reading. ### The House and Its Layout You come in through a wide entrance hall with traditional stone flooring. It is bigger than most hallways you will see, and it sets the tone straight away. From there the ground floor splits sensibly: lounge, fitted kitchen, a family bathroom and the door to the rear terrace. The lounge has a fireplace, which matters more than it sounds. Winters in the Kyrenia hills are mild but they do get damp and cool, and an evening with a fire is part of the appeal of a house like this. In summer you have air conditioning and ceiling fans. Upstairs, reached by stairs from the rear terrace, are three bedrooms and a guest bathroom. The house has about 120 m² of internal space and is sold furnished, so you could arrive with a suitcase rather than a removal van. There is also a storage cellar, handy for the things a second home always collects. ### Terraces, Sea Views and the Antique Water Tank In total there are about 25 m² of terrace and balcony. The rear terrace is private and sheltered, a good place for lunch out of the wind. It also holds the oddest feature of the house: an antique water tank. With proper restoration and adaptation it could become a traditional-style jacuzzi, although that is an idea, not something that exists today. The best spot is the ter ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Geilenkirchen gives you 485 m² of living space and a park-like 2,159 m² garden a few kilometres from the Dutch border. Built in 1967 and fully detached, it is a house of generous proportions that needs some modernising, but it offers room that newer homes rarely provide at €580,000. It suits a large family, a multigenerational household, or anyone who needs space for a home office, a studio and regular guests under one roof. ### The House: Five Bedrooms on Four Levels You enter through a grand hall with an open staircase. The ground floor is built around a very large living room with big windows facing the garden, a separate dining area and a winter garden where you can sit with the lawn in view even in February. The kitchen is a separate room. A flexible room here works as an office, study or extra bedroom, and there is a cloakroom and a bathroom with toilet and washbasin. At the back, a hobby room with an open fireplace could be a studio, a playroom or a second sitting room. A marble staircase leads up to a wide landing and three large bedrooms, including a master suite with a walk-in closet. The main bathroom has a bathtub, a shower, a double washbasin and a toilet. Two more rooms on this floor can be adapted to your needs. One is a round tower room with marble flooring and windows on several sides, which would make an excellent library or study. The second floor adds another bedroom, a separate room for guests or work, and an open attic area with a balcony. There is a further bathroom with shower, plus several storage spaces. The full basement holds a large cellar, two wine and storage cellars, a room with kitchen facilities, a multifunctional room, a laundry room with the technical install ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Mijas Costa sits in a quiet Lower Calahonda cul-de-sac and comes with a private pool and a separate one-bedroom apartment. Only six properties share the street, so there is almost no passing traffic, and the plot is walled and gated behind large electric gates. You get 460 m² of living space on three levels, set on a 944 m² plot where mature plants and trees give privacy and keep the garden relatively low-maintenance. ### The Villa: Layout and Living Space You enter through a hallway that leads to a fully fitted kitchen with a central island and quality appliances. The kitchen has two doorways into the dining and living room, so cooking and entertaining never feel cut off from each other. The room has high ceilings, a media wall and a working fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed sliding doors open onto a covered wraparound terrace. This level also holds a double bedroom with a full bathroom and direct garden access. That makes it a practical choice for older relatives or guests who prefer to avoid stairs. A staircase under beamed ceilings takes you to the upper floor, where a large stained-glass window lights the landing. The master suite has a bathroom with a jacuzzi bath, a separate shower, double sinks and marble wall tiling. It also has a walk-in wardrobe, a dressing area and a working fireplace. Sliding doors lead onto a terrace that runs the length of the house. Two more double bedrooms share that terrace and look over the garden. They are served by a mirrored walk-in wardrobe and dressing area and a marble-tiled bathroom. ### Pool, Garden and Outdoor Bar The garden is built for long lunches. The private pool sits within view of the covered terrace, and beside it a bar and barbecue ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Lagos, Algarve, stands on 8,520 m² with a heated salt water pool, padel court and roof terrace bar close to Luz. It sits in Montinhos da Luz, a quiet hamlet just outside Luz, with open countryside around it and the beaches a short drive away. The house has three bedrooms, four bathrooms and 245 m² of living space, and it is sold furnished. For a second home that matters. You land at Faro, drive down, and the only thing left to unpack is your suitcase. ### The Villa and Its Terraces Four bathrooms for three bedrooms means nobody queues for a shower when the family comes to stay. The living areas open onto a run of terraces, and some of them are glazed, so you can still sit outside on a cooler January evening or when the wind picks up. There is also a balcony. The roof terrace is the place everyone will head for. It has its own bar and wide views across the Algarve countryside, which makes it the natural spot for sundowners with friends. Downstairs there is a wine cellar and a basement, and a four-car garage with extra storage. That gives you room for cars, bikes, surfboards and whatever else a house near the coast collects. The property is in good condition and ready to use, so you are not signing up for a renovation project. ### Garden, Pool and Sports Facilities The garden is fully fenced, which suits families, dogs and anyone who wants privacy. It is landscaped for easy care, with automatic irrigation and a selection of fruit trees. Owners of larger plots in the Algarve often worry about upkeep when they are away, and the irrigation takes care of much of that. The leisure facilities are unusually complete for a private house: - Heated salt water swimming pool - Padel court - Golf practic ... click here to read more

This single-level villa for sale in Mijas stands on a 2,000 m² plot in La Alqueria, with a private pool and panoramic sea views. It sits in a quiet cul-de-sac, fully gated and facing south. Inside are 214 m² of living space, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, all on one floor, so there are no stairs between the kitchen, the bedrooms and the terrace. ### A Four-Bedroom Villa on One Level You enter through a hallway that opens into a large open-plan living and dining room with a fireplace. The kitchen is fully fitted. Marble floors run through the house, the windows are double glazed, and the villa has both air conditioning and central heating. That combination makes the house comfortable in the height of summer and on a cool winter evening, which suits anyone planning to use it beyond the school holidays. The four bedrooms are well proportioned and have fitted wardrobes. Two of the three bathrooms are en suite, so guests or children are not queuing for one shower. The villa is sold unfurnished and is in good condition. You can bring your own furniture and move in, or style it as a holiday home without having to work around someone else's taste. ### Pool, Terraces and a 2,000 m² Plot The outdoor space is what sets this property apart. The house opens onto about 100 m² of terraces, some covered and some open. Morning coffee faces the sea and the mountains, and in August the covered section gives you shade for lunch. The private pool has recently been upgraded, and the landscaped garden around it leaves plenty of room. A built-in barbecue means cooking outside needs no extra equipment. Because the plot faces south, the terraces and pool get sun for most of the day. At 2,000 m² the land is large for this part of the Cos ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Sernancelhe, in Portugal's Viseu district, has four bedrooms and 318 m² of living space on a 5,144 m² plot. That is generous room for a family, for friends who visit for weeks at a time, or for anyone who wants a garden project that is more than a few flowerbeds. The house is in Vila da Ponte, a parish of the municipality of Sernancelhe in Beira Alta, the inland north of Portugal. Think granite villages, chestnut woods and river valleys rather than beach resorts. It is a calm corner of the country, and much of the foreign buying interest in Portugal real estate still goes to the coast. Here your money buys space. ### The Villa: 318 m² and Four Bedrooms With 318 m² of living area, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, this house works for a larger household without anyone queueing for the shower. Two couples can stay at the same time and each still has some privacy. The condition is listed as good, so the realistic plan is to move in first and adapt the house over time, not budget for a full rebuild. The source details on the interior are limited, so ask for the floor plans and book a viewing to see how the rooms are arranged. As with any purchase abroad, an independent survey is money well spent. ### The 5,144 m² Plot Over half a hectare is a lot of ground. You could plant fruit trees, lay out vegetable beds, keep the grass wild or simply enjoy the distance to the neighbours. Rural land in Portugal is classified in different ways, so before planning any extension, outbuilding or pool, check the land registry entry and ask the Câmara Municipal of Sernancelhe what is permitted on this plot. Your lawyer can do this in a few days. ### Living in Sernancelhe and Vila da Ponte Sernancelhe is a small ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Castro Verde has five bedrooms, a heated indoor pool and separate guest quarters in the historic centre, Alentejo. It is a big house on a town plot, with 606 m² of living space on a 475 m² plot. You can walk to the cafés, shops and daily services, then climb to the upstairs terrace and look out over a protected biosphere nature reserve. ### Inside the Villa: Ground Floor and Upstairs The ground floor is arranged around the kitchen. It is a generous eat-in room with Miele appliances and an induction cooktop, and it opens straight onto a sunny terrace with a built-in grill. Cooking and eating outdoors is easy from spring through autumn. Next door, the laundry room has custom storage cabinets, a folding table and a Miele washer and dryer. The hallway leads to a bedroom with a full ensuite bathroom, useful for guests or for anyone who prefers to avoid stairs. There is also a large office and a separate living room. The art studio opens onto the terrace and has a full wall of walnut cabinets, Santa Catarina terracotta floors and antique azulejo tiles. It would work equally well as a workshop, a library or a second sitting room. The heated indoor pool sits behind glass doors that open onto the private quintal terrace. You can swim in winter and still see the garden. The original staircase with its wrought iron banister takes you upstairs. The master bedroom has its own bathroom, and three more bedrooms share a large bathroom tiled entirely in Estremoz marble. The upstairs terrace is the spot for morning coffee, facing the nature reserve. ### Guest Quarters, Garage and Technical Systems The guest quarters have a separate entrance. They hold two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room with a small kitch ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Fethiye sits in the mountain village of Ovacik, with a private pool and a walled 500 m² garden, ten minutes from Ölüdeniz. It is a detached three-storey house with three bedrooms, sold fully furnished and ready to move into. Behind the gate you get shade trees, a pool with sun terraces, and a covered terrace for long lunches. Babadağ rises directly behind the village. ### The Villa: Three Floors and 140 m² The house has 140 m² of living space spread over three floors, and the layout is easy to follow. You enter through a hallway with a guest toilet and a small wash basin. A marble staircase with ornate iron handrails leads upstairs. The ground floor is an open-plan lounge with laminate flooring, a neutral palette and spotlighting. Large patio doors open onto the covered terrace and pool. Through an archway is the fitted kitchen, with oak cabinets, cream worktops, a breakfast bar and modern appliances. A second door from the kitchen lets you carry plates straight out to the poolside. On the first floor are two double bedrooms with ceramic tile floors, which stay cool in summer, and large windows onto the garden. One of them has a private balcony over the pool, which suits morning coffee. A shared bathroom sits between them, with a shower cabin, vanity unit and WC. The top floor holds the third bedroom, an attic room with a sloping wooden ceiling, plus its own bathroom. From here you step onto a roof balcony with views over the valley and the mountains. ### Garden, Pool and Terraces on a 500 m² Plot The plot is walled and gated, so the pool and garden are private. Mature trees give shade and screening from the neighbours, and the planting is established rather than newly laid. The pool has gen ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Hoek van Holland has 500 m² of living space, an indoor pool and a 3,000 m² garden a short walk from the North Sea. It is a rare amount of room and privacy for a coastal address that is still close to Rotterdam. The house has eight bedrooms, six bathrooms and a separate studio. It was comprehensively renovated in 2021 and is in good condition. It suits a large family, or a buyer who wants a coastal base with space for friends and visitors. ### Villa for Sale in Hoek van Holland: The House The main living room is the first thing you notice. It has high ceilings and exposed timber beams, and a wood-burning stove for cold evenings after a walk through the woods and dunes. A conservatory runs along the garden side and brings in daylight, so the interior and the planting feel connected even in a grey Dutch winter. The kitchen is open plan and flows into the dining and living areas. It has a kitchen island and stone countertops, so whoever is cooking stays part of the room. The house also has a fireplace, air conditioning, a walk-in closet and a spacious garage. Upstairs and around the house you have eight bedrooms, four of them with en-suite bathrooms. Guests and teenagers can have real privacy. A self-contained studio with its own kitchenette is ideal for an au pair, visiting parents or a long-staying friend. ### Indoor Pool, Sauna and Gym The indoor swimming pool is the feature that sets this house apart from other coastal properties in the Netherlands. A counter-current system lets you swim laps in a small space, and the pool area looks out over the private garden. Next to it is a wellness area with an infrared sauna and a Turkish steam bath, and there is also a fitness room. The North Sea is ... click here to read more

This four-bedroom villa for sale in Laguna Phuket gives you a private pool, a garden and open views over the golf course in Thalang. The house was completed in 2005 and is in good condition. It has 422 m² of living space on a 930 m² plot, which is a lot of room for a home inside a managed resort community. Four en-suite-sized bedroom and bathroom pairings, a maid's room and a separate laundry room make it easy to run, whether you live here full time or only a few months a year. ### The Villa and Its 930 m² Plot With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, everyone in a family or a group of friends can have their own space. The 422 m² of built area leaves room for separate living zones, so one person can read while others are out by the water. The listing also mentions a maid's room and a dedicated laundry room. Both are practical in Phuket, where a house this size needs regular care and where many owners employ help. Outside, the private swimming pool is the centre of daily life. The garden surrounds the house, and the view runs over the greenery to the golf course. Morning swims before the heat builds and evenings on the terrace are what this setting is made for. Two cars can park privately on the property. The seller states that a golf membership is included. If you play, that is a real saving, and it is worth asking for the exact terms, transfer conditions and any annual fees before you commit. ### Living in Laguna Phuket, Thalang Laguna Phuket is a large, landscaped community on the west coast, in Thalang district. It is built around lagoons and fairways, and it is home to well-known resorts such as Banyan Tree and Angsana. Bang Tao Beach, one of the longest beaches on the island, is only a short drive away. Boat Av ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Palmela gives you five bedrooms and 302 m² of living space on a 618 m² plot in Quinta do Anjo, south of Lisbon. The asking price is €530,000. That works out at roughly €1,750 per m² of living area, a figure worth keeping in mind when you compare homes across the Setúbal Peninsula. The villa is in good condition, so you can plan around moving in rather than around a building site. Most houses of this size within easy reach of Lisbon cost a good deal more closer to the capital. ### The Villa: Five Bedrooms and 302 m² of Living Space Three hundred square metres is a lot of house. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms mean a family can spread out, and two couples sharing a holiday home won't queue for the shower. Guests can come for a full week and still have a door to close. The plot measures 618 m². That is enough ground to keep the property private and easy to look after, but not so much that it turns into a weekend job. If you lock up and fly home for a month, the maintenance stays manageable. The listing doesn't mention a pool, garage or terrace, so ask for those details before you book a viewing. We would rather you know exactly what is and isn't there than find out on the day. Ask about the layout, the heating and cooling, and the orientation of the main rooms, because in this climate those matter far more than the kitchen tiles. ### Living in Quinta do Anjo and the Palmela Area Quinta do Anjo is a practical, lived-in town in the municipality of Palmela, not a resort. You get supermarkets, cafés and everyday services close by, and Portuguese neighbours who live here all year. For a buyer who wants to belong somewhere rather than visit a holiday enclave, that is a real advantage. It is also ho ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom villa for sale in Bangtao, Phuket, comes fully furnished with a private pool, a garden and the beach about five minutes away. It sits in the Pasak area of Thalang district, on the island's west coast side. You could land at the airport, drop your bags and be swimming in your own pool the same evening. The asking price is about €374,000. ### The Villa: 203 m² Over Two Floors This is a semi-detached villa, so one wall is shared with its neighbour. In return you get a generous 203 m² of built space on a 258 m² plot, spread over two storeys. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, which means guests or family are not queuing in the morning. The house is sold fully furnished, so the practical work of fitting out a home is already done. The villa was completed in 2009 and is listed in good condition. As with any house of that age in a tropical climate, a buyer should still plan a proper inspection of the roof, the pool equipment, the air conditioning and the plumbing before committing. Covered parking for one car is included. ### Pool, Garden and Waterfront Setting The private pool and the garden are what turn this from a house into a place to spend your days. Think of a swim before breakfast, then a long lunch outside with the garden around you. The property data also lists the home as waterfront. Ask the agent exactly which stretch of water is meant and how close it sits to the plot, so you know what to expect from the view and the setting. ### Living in Bangtao: Beach, Shops and Airport Bangtao Beach is about five minutes away, and it is one of the longest stretches of sand on Phuket's west coast. Boat Avenue and the Central lifestyle mall are both roughly a five-minute drive, so supermarkets, ca ... click here to read more

This five-bedroom villa for sale in Mijas sits on the 15th fairway of Los Olivos golf course, with a saltwater infinity pool facing the greens. It stands on an 898 m² plot in Mijas Golf and has been renovated inside and out. The living area is 424 m² over three levels. The plot faces south to southeast, so the garden and terraces get the sun for most of the day. If you want space, some privacy and a golf-course outlook on the Costa del Sol, the layout suits a family well. ### The Villa: Three Levels, Five Bedrooms You come in through a traditional Andalusian courtyard with a covered porch, a shaded spot to pause before the front door. The main level has marble flooring throughout. The lounge has a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, which is welcome on cooler winter evenings. Sliding doors separate the lounge from the dining area, so you can leave them open for a big room or close them when you want a quieter space. The kitchen was recently renovated and has Smeg appliances, a wine fridge and a breakfast bar. Next to it, a utility room holds a brand-new washing machine and dryer and a drinks cooler. Two bedrooms on this floor open directly outside. One has its own bathroom, and there is a separate guest WC. Upstairs are two master suites, each with a private bathroom. They share a large terrace looking across the golf course. It is the place for the first coffee of the day, or a glass of something cold when the light drops. The lower level has also been fully renovated and works like a separate entertaining floor. It has a lounge with a large TV screen, a bar, a second fully fitted kitchen and a private home gym. The fifth bedroom is here too, with an en-suite bathroom, so visiting family and friends have their own ... click here to read more

This stone villa for sale in Cortona, Tuscany, comes with 310 m² of unfinished living space and a 2,400 m² garden, ready for your own finishes. It stands in a quiet hamlet in the Val di Chiana countryside and is sold as a project: raw inside, with architectural plans and renderings already prepared. Instead of buying someone else's taste, you choose the floors, the kitchen, the bathrooms and the heating from day one. ### A Stone Villa Built as a Blank Canvas The house keeps the proportions and stone façades of a traditional Tuscan farmhouse. Inside, nothing is finished, which is both the appeal and the job. You can go rustic with terracotta floors and exposed beams, or keep the interiors sleek and modern. Either way you install current electrical, heating and plumbing systems from scratch rather than working around old ones. The plans show where everything is meant to go, so an architect or builder can price the work without starting from zero. Budget accordingly. The asking price is €780,000 for the property as it stands, and the fit-out comes on top. Ask a local geometra for a finishing estimate before you make an offer, and you will know your real total cost. ### Layout: Two Levels, 310 m² and Five Bathrooms The ground floor is the living level. A large kitchen opens into the dining room, which leads straight onto a covered outdoor area, so summer lunches move outside without any fuss. The living room has a fireplace and connects to a porch. There is a guest bathroom on this floor, plus a bedroom with its own en suite. That suits visitors, or relatives who would rather not climb stairs. Upstairs are the main bedrooms, two of them with en suite bathrooms, and a further bathroom for the rest. One extra room is del ... click here to read more

This detached villa for sale in Antalya has a private pool, a 400 m² plot and four bedrooms, five minutes from the airport in Altıntaş, Aksu. It is brand-new, so there is no renovation list. You get a two-storey house with 300 m² of gross living space (280 m² net), underfloor heating and a garden that already has its pool. If you are looking for a holiday home in Antalya that can also be a year-round base, that combination deserves a close look. ### The Villa: Layout and Finish The front door opens onto a wide hallway that leads to the fitted Franke kitchen, with under-cabinet lighting and a high-gloss backsplash. Large sliding doors link the kitchen straight to the garden and pool area. Someone can be cooking while the children swim, and nobody has to shout across the house. The lounge has laminate flooring, recessed adjustable spotlights and a light, neutral palette. Wide patio doors open onto the garden. A steel staircase runs up to the bedroom floor and gives the interior a clean, modern line. There is a separate laundry room, so washing machines stay out of the kitchen, and underfloor heating takes the chill off Antalya's mild winters. There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master bedroom comes with its own dressing room and fitted wardrobes. The bathrooms and ensuites have generous shower cabins, integrated storage and floor-to-ceiling ceramic tiling, and the house also has a balcony. ### Pool, Garden and a 400 m² Plot The plot measures 400 m², and the villa is detached. Outside there is a private swimming pool, sun terraces and a secluded garden with plenty of privacy. A private driveway means you park on your own land. Antalya is known for long, sunny summers and mild winters, so the pool and terr ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Kusadasi sits in Davutlar, two kilometres from the Aegean, and comes fully furnished with three bedrooms and a shared pool. It is a detached two-storey house, built about five years ago, in a small complex of 14 homes. Furniture, white goods and appliances are included in the sale, so you can arrive with a suitcase and start using it the same day. ### The Villa: 158 m² Over Two Floors The ground floor is one open space. The lounge, dining area and kitchen run together, with the dining table placed so it quietly divides cooking from sitting. The kitchen has upper and lower cabinets, plenty of worktop and a black-and-white colour scheme. Laminate flooring, spotlighting and air conditioning run through the room. Large sliding patio doors open from the lounge straight onto the terrace. There is also a guest toilet downstairs, which is useful when friends or family are over for the day. Upstairs are three bedrooms. The master has its own ensuite bathroom and opens onto a balcony with views. The second bedroom is a large double. The third gives onto a big veranda overlooking the garden. The bathrooms are tiled floor to ceiling and have storage built into the vanity units. The owners have recently repainted, and the house is in good condition throughout. ### Terraces, Garden and the Shared Pool Outdoor space does a lot of work here. The villa has a terrace on the ground floor and two verandas upstairs, on a plot of 390 m² with a planted garden around the house. In the Aegean summer, breakfast on the terrace and an evening drink on the balcony will probably become routine. The complex has seven blocks and 14 homes, which keeps it quiet. Residents share a communal swimming pool and landscaped gardens, ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Théoule-sur-Mer sits on a flat 2,330 m² plot inside Domaine Roc et Mimosas, with 300° views over the sea and the Estérel. The house is built from hand-shaped Estérel stone and has four en-suite bedrooms, plus an office that can double as a fifth. Outside you get a pool, a garage, a Mediterranean garden with about twenty fruit trees, and a beach roughly four minutes away. ### The House: Estérel Stone and 163 m² of Living Space The walls are local Estérel stone, about 30 cm thick, each piece shaped by hand. The stones vary in size and colour, so the façade has a patchwork of warm reds and ochres that you don't get from a rendered new build. Thick stone also does what it has always done here: it holds the cool of the morning well into the afternoon. Inside, the 163 m² of living space is organised around generous reception rooms that open onto the terraces. The four bedrooms each have their own bathroom, which suits a family with guests or two couples sharing a summer. The office can serve as a fifth bedroom, a studio or a proper work-from-home room. The condition is good. The bathrooms have been renovated, the laundry room has been modernised, and air conditioning has been fitted in all bedrooms and the office. The listing also mentions more than 128 m² of additional areas, which gives you room to adapt the house or extend it. Any extension would of course depend on planning permission, so ask for the local rules early. ### Garden, Pool and Panoramic Terraces Flat ground is uncommon on this stretch of coast, and 2,330 m² of it is the main reason this plot stands out. The Mediterranean garden is landscaped, and the orchard has around twenty fruit trees. The pool sits within the grounds, with par ... click here to read more

This four-bedroom villa for sale in Bodrum sits in a gated Kadıkalesi community with panoramic sea views and a 595 m² garden. It is a detached two-storey house with 180 m² of living space, sold fully furnished, on the quieter western side of the Bodrum Peninsula. If you want a holiday home in the Bodrum Peninsula that could also work as a base for most of the year, this one is worth a closer look. Everything you need to move in is already there. ### A Villa for Sale in Bodrum with Sea Views and Room to Spread Out The plot measures 595 m², and the garden is the main event. It is well kept, faces the sea and leaves plenty of space for a long dining table, sun loungers and slow evenings outside. There is no private pool at the moment, but the garden has room to add one if you want your own. Until then, the gated community has a large communal pool. Inside, large sliding patio doors open onto the garden and fill the open-plan living room and kitchen with daylight. The colour scheme is soft and neutral, so the space stays bright. A modern fireplace takes the edge off cooler evenings, and air conditioning is installed throughout for the hot summer months. The kitchen comes fully equipped with a fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, oven and hob. Furniture, white goods and the air-conditioning units are all included in the asking price. You could arrive with a suitcase and be on the terrace within the hour. There are four bedrooms. The master has its own en-suite bathroom, a family bathroom serves the other three, and a separate guest toilet saves queues when the house is full. Both bathrooms are tiled floor to ceiling, with modern shower enclosures and good vanity storage. ### Inside the Gated Community Residents share ... click here to read more

This detached villa for sale in Fethiye sits in the village of Uzumlu, with a private pool, a walled 364 m² plot and three bedrooms. It is sold fully furnished, so the practical side of a move is already done. Bring a suitcase, switch on the air conditioning and head for the pool. With 140 m² over two floors, it works for a family living here year-round and for a couple after a holiday home in Fethiye for long summers and mild autumns. ### The Villa: Layout and Living Space A bright hallway leads into an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Large patio doors open onto a covered balcony, so on warm evenings the whole ground floor spills outdoors. The living area has tiled flooring, a lounge corner and a log-burning fireplace for the cooler months. The contemporary kitchen has grey work surfaces, modern lighting, plenty of storage and integrated appliances. Because it is open to the dining space, whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. Two practical details matter in daily life. There is a shower room on the ground floor, handy after a swim, and the washing machine lives in the understairs storage, out of sight. A marble staircase takes you up to three bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and bedside storage. The main bedroom opens onto a large private balcony with mountain views, which is where you will want your first coffee. The family bathroom has a bath with jacuzzi function and a shower attachment. Air-conditioning units cool the house in summer. ### Pool, Garden and Plot The villa stands on a private plot of 364 m², enclosed by natural stone walls and paved for easy upkeep. That matters if you will not be here every week. A security gate and a private driveway give the entrance a sense of priv ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Koh Samui sits in Bophut on the island's north coast, with a private 7 × 3 m pool and three bedrooms on a 420 m² plot. It has 125 m² of living space over two floors and is sold fully furnished. You could arrive with a suitcase, open the shutters and be in the pool before lunch. ### The Villa: Three Bedrooms on Two Floors The house is laid out over two levels and is in good condition. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, one for each bedroom. That matters more than it sounds when friends or grown-up children come to stay and everyone wants a shower before dinner. The furniture stays. For a second home in Thailand, that saves you the trips to Chaweng furniture showrooms, the container shipping and the weeks of waiting. It also means you can judge the finished result on a viewing, because what you see is what you get. At 125 m² of built area this is not a sprawling estate. It is a manageable, lock-up-and-leave size, which is what most buyers of a holiday home in Koh Samui actually want when they only visit a few weeks a year. ### Private Pool, Garden and Sunset Views The pool measures 7 × 3 m, which is enough for proper laps and for a cool-down after a hot afternoon, and it belongs to this villa alone. Around it is a garden on a 420 m² plot, generous by Samui standards, where villa plots are often much tighter. From the house you look over the garden and pool towards the mountains, and in the evening you get sunset views. Plan on a drink outside around that hour. Practical points are covered too. The villa has parking for one car and paved road access, so you are not bouncing down a dirt track in the rainy season. If you expect to host several drivers at once, ask about street parking ... click here to read more
