Inland Algarve, away from the crowds – this gorgeous house with pool and gardens is a haven for families and friends

A lovely, light and colourful home filled with treasures from Goa, rugs from Morocco and artisan crafts from Portugal. There’s always something lovely to catch the eye: patterned tiled floors, stone sinks, exposed walls and wooden beams. Elegant bedrooms in soothing neutral tones open onto the gardens.

A wood-burner pumps out heat for off-season stays, but when the weather warms you’ll be outdoors – swaying in the hammock, floating in the saltwater pool or hiking along scenic trails. Olive, orange and oak trees cast dappled shade, and a path winds up to the yoga shala, where owner Giselle hosts yoga retreats and private sessions.

Drive to Santa Catarina (under 10 minutes) for restaurants or to pick up pastéis de nata from the bakery. Cooking is a joy in the striking kitchen or out on the barbecue, and a private chef can be arranged (must be booked well in advance). Later, gather around the firepit and stargaze.

Punti d'interesse locali da
Tamar Ferguson:

  • Tavira is only 15 minutes away - fabulous Roman Town with independent shops and restaurants.
  • Take the ferry across to the islands for a few euros - spend the day on your almost empty sandy beach.
  • Visit Olhão with its renowned fish market - you need to arrive early to buy the freshest of produce.
  • Take home some lovely organic honey thanks to a local farmer who has her own bees.
  • Hire our local chef for a treat or special occasion.
  • Enjoy a yoga class on the Shala or book a spoiling massage.
