Casa Luum is a stunning holiday villa nestled at the end of a quiet dirt road inside a nature reserve near Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Faro. Designed by the internationally-renowned Portuguese architect Pedro Domingos, this modern home captivates with its clean geometric block forms and minimalist aesthetic. The pristine white volumes create a striking contrast against the natural green landscape, blending effortlessly with the surrounding olive groves and countryside.
Inside, the villa is flooded with natural light through numerous windows and sharp angles, highlighting a calm and airy atmosphere. The interiors showcase a refined simplicity, with locally crafted ceramics and pottery adding warmth and character. The spacious living room centers around a vintage 1965 fireplace by Alfonso Mila and Federico Correa, connecting seamlessly with indoor and outdoor dining areas.
Casa Luum comfortably accommodates six guests across four bedrooms, each featuring private terrace access. Two full bathrooms complete the living spaces. The design integrates eco-friendly features such as solar energy and advanced insulation for natural climate control.
The gardens, designed by Lisbon-based botanical architects Sigmetum, celebrate native flora with wild seed cultivation and aromatic herbs, offering a fragrant and lush outdoor experience. Guests can enjoy the sheltered swimming pool with shaded lounges, or relax on the rooftop terrace perfect for dining under the stars.
