Where the exteriors are tranquil and restful to the eye

From the moment they first saw the site, more than 10 years ago, the developers have been at pains to understand how the natural landscape can best be used to the advantage of all those who will be living and staying at Vale da Ribeira. The natural contours have been used to provide a balanced layout of houses, with original trees retained wherever possible and many more planted. As a result, there is a well-established feel to the development, a sense that it is a part of the landscape, that it belongs. The duplex houses on the highest levels within each village enjoy uninterrupted views across to the sea.
