Pinta perfect

Pestana Golf's stunning new Vale da Pinta resort is rapidly taking shape around the beautiful 18-hole championship course near Carvoeiro, to the delight of its first new home owners
Sister resort to Pestana’s famous Gramacho complex, Vale da Pinta is already setting new standards in quality, value and appeal. Canny early buyers, on word-of-mouth recommendation alone, have already bought or reserved over 60 homes from Pinta’s mix of apartments, townhouses and detached villas, on an individual freehold basis.
With all villas and townhouse and most apartments enjoying a fairway frontage, buyers have been entranced by the vistas on offer over Pinta, one of Europe’s top 100 golf courses and by the style and value of the homes that now grace its glorious surroundings.
A gently undulating landscape of great natural beauty, dotted with magnificent olive trees and with long views to distant blue mountains provides the setting for this new Algarvean jewel. The addition of a meticulously planned course to this haven, where every olive tree has been carefully preserved, creates a parkland setting of extraordinary beauty. Crucial to achieving this effect was Pestana’s decision to give Pinta plenty of space; the first impression is of the great depth of the landscape in and around the resort, and of the long perspectives that all homes enjoy. Pinta’s low building density and dramatic setting has allowed architects to design homes evocative of traditional Algarvean style yet of a restrained and elegant simplicity, characterised by clean lines and natural materials.
The same natural stone, for example, is used discreetly on both the exteriors and the garden walls, so connecting home and landscape. Interiors, unsurprisingly, have the latest fittings and refinements, but are characterised primarily by their spaciousness, natural light, outdoor views and sophisticated finishes. Clients can choose tiles, colours and - working with our architect - can have their own villa designs, should they buy a villa plot. Fittings include granite work tops, central heating, stripped pine ceilings, central vacuum systems, fireplaces, ceiling spotlights and air-conditioning pre-installation. Fairway villas also come with exterior whirlpool baths.
With all Phase 1 apartments now sold, available now are three bed townhouses from €407,000, three bed Fairway villas from €483,000, all with communal pools - and four bed villas, with individual pools, from €730,000. An interesting option for buyers is the Four Owner Scheme, popular at Gramacho, which allows four independent parties to own the freehold, with each quarter secured by individual title deeds. Each owner enjoys 13 weeks of occupations per annum on a rotation basis. Pestana’s professional letting and management service is available to these and to all home-owners.
