HIGHVIEW VILLA is a charming property located high on a hill just 5 minutes drive outside of the historical city of Lagos – with stupendous views over the Atlantic ocean to the south and over the Monchique hills to the North. The sunrise from the master bedroom is stunning and a fantastic way to start the day. Highview Villa is a very special place for those looking for a peaceful oasis, appreciating an established garden and being just that little bit away from the rest – a place where you can engage with nature.

I was born in Brazil, where I qualified as an architect before moving to Europe 26 years ago. Master in Creative Techniques at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. I have always been involved in several art forms including painting, dance, theatre and marionettes. While in Portugal I developed activities including teaching art, exhibiting my art work, plus stage production and directing, as well as involving myself in many community projects. I have a very keen interest with environment issues, and I found Lagos to be a perfect place to be in contact with nature, with its wonderful weather, throughout the year. Another attractive point about Lagos, is that I have the opportunity to meet people from all parts of the world, and I love to learn from different cultures. I’m happy to be in such exciting place, surrounded by culture and nature.
