Luxurious villa with pool and idyllic lake landscape

“Refúgio de Artémis” is a luxurious rustic village located 13 km from the city of Silves, central Algarve, on the banks of the Arade dam reservoir and set in a 20 hectare property (Silves Lake), in a protected ecological reserve area. . It has a privileged and idyllic location, with panoramic views of the lake, the mountains and a green and orderly lemon orchard. A little slice of paradise.

It is the ideal destination for those seeking tranquility in contact with nature, privacy, environmental beauty, combining modernity and luxurious comfort.

The farmhouse has recently been restored to superior quality standards in finishes and equipment, and options for environmental innovation. It was designed to apply the concepts of ecologically sustainable and energy efficient.
She has been a candidate for European Funds whose project has been selected and approved.

“The Artémis Refuge” is registered in Turismo de Portugal as a rural tourism development in the country house mode for full rental.

It is a space for a family or group of 10 people, which with 2 extra beds, sleeps 12.
If you have children up to 3 years old, and let us know, please be aware that you have two additional cribs, and other equipment and accessories for sleeping, hygiene, food and rest. Exclude from your holiday list what we offer your children, and carry only the essentials for personal use.
The minimum stay in high season is 7 nights, low or medium season varies with a minimum of 3 or 5 nights. Rates per night or per week are calculated on a 6 to 4 person basis, depending on the season. For each additional adult or child, a reduced unit value per night is added. Do the simulation.

INTERIOR

The accommodation has 5 bedrooms and 4 toilets, 3 bedrooms with a large double bed and 2 with two single beds. Very comfortable mattresses provide you with a peaceful and relaxing rest.

On the ground floor are the living rooms, the kitchen, and a suite, all with air conditioning and lake views, as well as a social WC, with shower cabin to support outdoor and pool activities.
Upstairs are the other 4 bedrooms and 2 toilets. All have air conditioning and panoramic views, 2 to the reservoir, another 2 to the mountains, but also overlook the gardens, the pool and orchard. Superior rooms have balconies.

The rooms are identified by something allusive to the property:
Artemis Suite (evokes the name of the house);
Yellow Room (the color of orchard lemons);
Flower Room (those that grow in the surrounding garden);
Water Room (reflecting the tones of the lake);
Green Room (in honor of ecology and protected nature).

A large living room with a dining and leisure area with comfortable sofas and flat-screen satellite TV interconnects with another room for reading and social games, both with air conditioning.

A wood burning fireplace with double-sided woodburner separates the rooms. During the winter season, it exudes both comfort and visual beauty with the crackling of the fire, in a totally safe way.

The rooms have direct access to the outdoor wooden deck, with lovely views of the lake, orchard, garden, and an old shale stone floor.

The kitchen is fully equipped with top quality equipment. The house does not use gas, only electricity.

Downstairs, living room with pool table for the joy of game lovers. A ping pong table, rackets and balls are available on request to put on the porch.

Personalized linens, towels and pool towels are provided;

OUTDOOR

The house has a wooden deck that surrounds the porches from north to south. The terraces are equipped for outdoor dining. Removable barbecue.
The pool with waterfall and infinity line, is surrounded by wooden deck, has thatched hats, and sun loungers. There is an outdoor shower and a lawn area.

Water is captured from its own hole; is treated and analyzed periodically.
It is drinkable, light and soft. If the taste is strange, then it is suggested to buy bottled water.


ADVANCED FEATURES

This villa has installed home automation and access control systems, so that the stay of its customers becomes the most functional, comfortable and simple, which also contribute to the reduction of energy consumption and the control of lighting.

Thus, access to the house is by a keyless code assigned to you during your stay; opening and closing of blinds, turning the air conditioning on and off, turning the lights on or off, are just a touch away, for the control of each room, or for the whole house, when entering or leaving.

Illumination in walkways is smart, turns on when it detects presence, turns off when not needed, making forgetting irrelevant; The temperature and ventilation regulation, in each room or general, can be chosen by guests at the air conditioning selection panel and are automatically controlled.
Also, and centrally, home automation controls night lighting in the garden, road, access, pool lighting, temperature limits for air conditioners, and the temperature of solar panels to heat domestic water.

Our guests will just have to enjoy the beauty and sensations that are provided in this country house. We want your stay to be remembered with satisfaction and pleasure, to be an invitation to return and recommend to friends.

CURIOSITY:

"The Refuge of Artemis" Rural Tourism, is allusive to the name of its promoter, and to the greatest goddess of Greek mythology Artemis, hunting goddess, defender of wildlife, nature, breeding and also mystical goddess of the moon. Its historical significance combines with the characteristics of the place, which is also a hunting zone, a protected nature space, where wild animals live in freedom and breeding. A Zen refuge. A space of contemplation of beauty, peace and tranquility.

The logo representing the Refuge expresses the symbolism that accompanies the hunting goddess Artemis, and which personifies it: the deer, the arrow and the bow, which is also the crescent moon, and the leaves of nature.

Remote Living
The property is located remotely in a reservoir and has all the amenities needed. It’s about a 20 minutes drive to Silves. The streets to get to the area are somewhat narrow. If you like remote living this is a great place to be. It’s beautiful and clean. The only reason I am giving this a 3 star is because we had some issues with the property owner. She tries to run the property like a hotel room. When you book the property make sure you get access to all the bedrooms. I booked for 4 people expecting to use 4 out of the 5 bedrooms. She was trying to only allow us to use 2 out of the 4 bedrooms saying that each room is double occupancy and to use more rooms we would have to pay more. We ended up having to call VRBO to be able to get access to all the bedrooms. The house is a smart house with a lot of new technology. At check in we got a long tour throughout the house by the owner with explanation of every detail on how to use things. In my opinion that was a bit excessive. The house also has a sewage smell throughout.

Exceeded all expectations! Everything was perfect :)
We were a group of 11 friends spending 4 days for New Years Eve. The house is absolutely incredible with everything one might need. Super clean, beautiful and comfortable. The surroundings are amazing. The house is isolated so it's the perfect spot to enjoy the quietness of nature and also allowed us to enjoy NYE with some noise without worrying to disturb anyone. Totally recommend and look forward to returning soon. The Host Artemisa is very friendly and always available :) Thank you so much for such an amazing house!!!

Fantastic stay in peaceful location
We had a wonderful stay at O Refugio De Artemis which is finished to an extremely high standard and comes with everything that you would need for a great holiday. We were two families of five with children aged from 5 to 13 and spent the days visiting the sights of the Algarve and returning to the villa by late afternoon to spend time in the pool enjoying the view and surroundings. There are multiple sitting areas where you can always find either sun or shade depending on your preference. The inside of the villa is extremely well appointed with plenty of bathrooms and a superb living area which takes in the magnificent view of the lake. This was just what we needed after a hard summer of lockdown and thanks to Artemisa for making our stay so memorable and for your excellent communication.

Fantastic Property with fabulous views....
We stayed here during the first 2 weeks of August 2018, with 6 adults and 4 children. Artemisa and Rui (the owners) welcomed us when we arrived and talked us through all of the amenities of the villa along with giving us a welcome tour - much like arriving in a first class resort hotel! The villa itself is immaculate with all modern features and lovely finishing touches throughout. The bedrooms are finished well with comfortable beds and the all important air conditioning in each room. The infinity swimming pool is great, and you have table tennis along with billiards to play as well. It is very much in a secluded and a fabulously tranquil spot, and as such is got to by an unmade road around the hillside from the main dam of the reservoir. Not a great problem for the hire cars but worth mentioning all the same. The lemon groves and the deer spotting around the villa are an added bonus for sure - and if you time it right the oranges will be in season too!

A beautifully finished villa in an outstanding secluded location.
The Algarve is divided, north and south, by the A22 motorway. To the south it's holiday resorts, golf courses and water parks. To the north lies the real Portugal. The Refugio de Artemis lies in nearly complete isolation among green hills beside a lake that looks, from above, like a dragon. Despite its secluded location, the villa is equipped to the very highest standard with comfortable beds, top quality fittings and lovely decoration. Artemisa, the owner, clearly takes great pride in her labour of love and is careful to point out every detail of the property, from the high tech smart-home controls to the monogrammed, colour coded (his&hers) towels. We were a party of 10 adults and the property was well equipped for our needs. On the huge property grounds which extend down to the lake shore there are orange and lemon trees and we had the luxury of fresh orange juice from our own hand picked oranges (electric juicer provided - of course) each morning. Access to the lake itself from the property is not easy, it is after all a natural reservoir providing water to the conurbation south of the A22, but the pool with an infinity edge overlooking the lake makes up for that. The property is reasonably close to the town of Silves, which has a great redstone castle and a really good supermarket (Continente). The Bistro Rainha restaurant is an interesting 45 minute walk away and is easily the best restaurant we ate at during our fortnight stay and possibly one of the best in the region. This is a special place and we highly recommend it.

Absolutely spectacular!
This is the most spectacular place that we have ever stayed in. The beautiful photos on this site are accurate – it truly is a stunning property, both inside and out. We spent the last few days of our Algarve vacation here, and wanted to end the trip on a high note – and we certainly did. The interior of the villa reflects the highest quality materials, and has been very stylishly decorated. It has a real “Wow” factor and is both elegant and inviting. The beds are very comfortable. The spacious kitchen is well equipped with anything you might need. The pool table provides a welcome rainy day activity. The heating/cooling system makes it easy to maintain a comfortable temperature. We appreciated the many environmentally friendly features. Artemisa and Rui, a delightful couple, met us and explained how everything worked. The grounds of the property are a paradise; the landscaping is extraordinary. The view of the lake is stunning. The lemon orchard setting is so picturesque – especially when the resident deer visit. Due to the weather we did not use the pool, but it’s lovely, both day and night, as it’s lit with color-changing lights in the evening. It would be heavenly to lounge by the pool in the warmer weather. Our stay at the villa was perfect in every way, and we would love to return for a longer stay. The serenity and natural beauty found here is very special.

Our helpful host welcomed us warmly and happily explained how everything worked. This has been the most stylish, luxurious villa we've stayed at with an amazing, clean infinity pool that is stunning at night when lit up with colour-changing under- water lights. The lake side setting is the perfect spot for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. The pool table in the games room was an added bonus.We highly recommend stating here.

Une villa idyllique
La Villa Silves Lake, est un véritable havre de paix et un joyau caché qui récompense amplement ceux qui empruntent le chemin un peu accidenté pour y accéder (10 minutes de la route principale et 20 minutes des commerces). Nichée au bord d'un lac serein et des champs de citronniers, cette villa offre une expérience authentique et paisible, loin de l'agitation. La villa de 5 chambres était très propre et possède tous les équipements pour se divertir (piscine, ping pong, billard, internet haut débit (meme si nous avons eu une coupure de 2 jours!). Artemis a rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable, faisant en sorte que nous nous sentions comme chez nous dès notre arrivée. Elle a été non seulement une hôte attentive, mais aussi une excellente source de conseils pour découvrir les trésors cachés de la région.

Beautiful vacation Villa
Here, the owners personally look after the facility and the visitors. The entire property + house was very well maintained and everything you could wish for was there. As the holiday home is very secluded, you can completely relax here and don't have to worry about the neighbours (if the evening should get longer). Our landlady was also available at all times for minor problems and gave us direct suggestions for solutions. Thank you for the pleasant stay. PS: As it is so remote and the road is very hilly, make sure you have a suitable car (e.g. SUV), but even our FIAT 500 made it :D.

O único aspeto negativo, efetivamente sao os acessos à vivenda. Estrada em terra com +/- 3 ou 4 km pelo meio dos montes (deste a EN 124) com algumas subidas íngremes.

Idylle ganz für sich allein
Das Haus steht in einer ruhigen Lage, am Stausee, in der Nähe von Silves. Die Kommunikation mit Artemisa war unkompliziert, bei Anreise fühlten wir uns sofort willkommen, dank der herzlichen Begrüßung. Das Haus ist mit allem Erdenklichen ausgestattet, vor allem die Küche ließ keine Wünsche offen. Alle Zimmer waren sehr sauber und aufgeräumt. Klimaanlagen waren vorhanden, wir haben sie nicht genutzt, unsere Nächte waren angenehm kühl. In den Nächten muss man sich unbedingt die Zeit nehmen, um die Sterne zu beobachten. So dunkel ist es kaum noch irgendwo, um dies alles zu sehen. Insgesamt steht das Haus an einem Platz, wo man außer der Natur nicht mehr viel hört. Abschalten von der Zivilisation funktioniert sehr gut 😉 Das Haus ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Touren jeder Art, allerdings sollte der Mietwagen/das Auto mit 4x4 ausgestattet sein, das macht die letzten Kilometer vor dem Haus einfacher. Artemisa war als Gastgeberin sehr fürsorglich, hat uns jede Frage beantwortet und Tipps für gutes Öl etc. gegeben; frisches Obst und Gemüse gibt es gleich in Silves auf dem Markt am Vormittag. Wir denken gern an diese Zeit zurück und kommen vielleicht eines Tages wieder.
