On Top Of A Hill In The Algarve, Near Albufeira, A Property With Panoramic Views Of The Ocean

On top of a hill in the Algarve, near Albufeira, a property with panoramic views of the ocean and the countryside. Building on high ground in the Algarve used to be a matter of precise calculation: keeping watch over the land, anticipating the weather, and escaping the dampness of the lowlands. One property has embraced this ancient principle without stating it explicitly, simply by occupying the ridge rather than the slope.

From there, the view is unobstructed. The ocean on one side, the hills on the other, and in between, the silence characteristic of high ground.
