Villa 251 Luxury Cottage w/ Pool and Tennis Court

Barcelos - Villa

Located on a quiet community and within easy reach to the sandy beaches, this villa is the result of a beautifully converted farm worker's cottage situated just outside the old fishing village of Apulia which is flanked by lush green pine forests.
