Families can unwind at this lovely old higgledy-piggledy farmhouse in typical southern Algarve style, with a big pool and lush greenery

Take a trip into Loulé for the Saturday market (best to get there early) and you can take your pick of the freshest fish and seafood plus fabulous salad ingredients, cheeses, charcuterie, local honey, artisan gins and excellent Portuguese wine - try the slightly fizzy Vinho Verde which is refreshing in the heat and quite light. The kitchen has all you need for holiday cooking and you're left all the basics plus a generous hamper in case you haven't shopped on your first day, which includes a case of beer and two bottles of wine.

Children can go completely free range, dashing around the garden, splashing in the good-sized pool or playing badminton on a sandy pitch. Adults seeking quiet can find a calm spot in the house with a book and a comfy chair, all can relax in this unpretentious place with its lemon and lime trees and colourful pots.

Unspoiled sandy beaches are around a 20-minute drive.

Local points of interest from Kate Ferguson:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Kate Ferguson:

  • Walk to a great bar and restaurant - only 10 minutes!
  • Sao Bras De Alportel (10 min) is a quiet country town. Lots of cafes here (best is Cafe Ervilha in the square) and the closest supermarket is here (Pingo Doce). Excellent inexpensive local restaurant 'Luis dos Frangos' (traditional churrasqueira / BBQ).
  • Enjoy yoga and tai chi or even a holistic massage whilst staying with us!
  • Fusetta Beach with it's shallow sea is perfect for young families. Take the little ferry across to the islands for a Robinson Crusoe experience!
  • Loule (16 min) - large inland town w/ excellent Saturday market. Attractive old quarter and Moorish castle ruins. Excellent Brazilian style restaurant (Oliveiras) with ‘swords’ (skewers) of steaks (Maminha / rump tail). Big supermarket is a Continente.
  • Almancil (18 min) en route to the beaches - stop for the best custard tarts at the Venepau (pasteleira) and visit the stunning, traditional baroque church, ‘Igreja de Sao Lourenco de Matos’. The swishest restaurant is here, Casa do Campo. Book ahead!
