LAND offers a small number of residences, designed by internationally renowned architects. Each Villa is carefully integrated into the landscape, in order to ensure total privacy, tranquility and astonishing views.
Designed by Peter Maerkli, the TOURIGA FRANCA residences are an impressive contemporary homage to the traditional noble country villa. Located at the highest hill of the resort, the Villas benefit from unique views to the vineyards valley, serene oak trees plains and the Montemor Castle.

Peter Märkli is the creator of some of the most unconventional buildings of the last decades. In Switzerland he is considered the architect of architects, for the way in which, in each project, he achieves a degree of uniqueness.

This project comprises 3 and 4 bedroom accommodation units and a studio TO per unit.A T4 unit is similar to a T3, except that it is extended at one side, with an extra bedroom and bathroom and with a slightly bigger study.

A palatial living room, with very high ceilings, connects to the external patio and a large pool. In large plots, the architecture favors the experience of the natural spaces in complete privacy.

In the central cluster of the houses, hall, living room and kitchen together shape the centre culminating in the terrace with the swimming pool. And bedrooms and supporting spaces are arranged on both sides of this central area. This sort of scheme is ideal for simultaneous occupation by a range of different groups, including families.

Together with the vineyard, the units have also orange orchards, olive groves and almond trees, which, besides acting as landscaping elements, are also intended to enable the residents to have access to their own production.

With very large plots (3000 m2 to 8 000m2 Touriga Franca villas are small rural estates, where owners can grow their own vines and orchards (of olive groves, orangeries , almond trees). Landscape design can be adapted to meet each owner preferences.

Owners can become l and wine club members and use their grapes to produce annually their own personalized wine at the resorts winery.
