Aad and Anita Houweling wish you a warm welcome to Casa Anita and Casa Esther. We have spent many months a year in Casa Anita for 5 years. We liked Carvoeiro and the Portuguese climate so much that we bought a detached house in 2013 and rented 2 lovely apartments in Carvoeiro and Praia Marinha. Because we still wanted a permanent place in the Netherlands, we bought a chalet (casa Lara) in the Park Kerkendel in Kootwijk in 2019.We speak German, English, French and Dutch.

Casa Lara is located in a beautiful area and is beautifully situated on a pond.
Casa Lara has all the necessary amenities in house, but could be refreshed here and there and is therefore somewhat dated. Photos on Micazu do...
Thank you for your review. We already have new armchairs on order and will see in June what can be done further, because we live in Portugal. There is indeed no swimming pool, shop and restaurant in the park, but there is a gym...
Read moreA beautiful location, lots of space. A safe park for small children. The cottage could use a facelift. Inside, some things are outdated.
Thanks for the positive review, we will take a critical look at what needs to be refurbished at the end of May when we are back in the Netherlands and in Kootwijk. We would like to see you again as loyal guests.
What a lovely quiet place and nice cottage fully equipped. Good reception.
We had a wonderful week with lots of sun and could sit around the house.
Worth repeating!
Glad you enjoyed your stay at casa Lara so much. The weather also cooperated a lot. It was even warmer than with us in Portugal, unprecedented.
Of course we welcome a repeat.

Spacious.
Good beds. Quiet park. Beautiful surroundings.
Nice shed for your bikes, you can also charge them there.

Thank you very much for this great review and especially for the enthusiastic response about Kerkendel, our chalet and the location. We look forward to seeing you again next year.
Fantastic chalet. Perfect place from the Chalet to make bike/walking tours.
Gasterij 't Hilletje highly recommended, is close by. Booked again for 2025.
Small request: can internet be improved.
Thank you very much for the rave review and the enthusiastic comments. The internet goes through the park, I pass it on to the board, because good internet is so important.
Also thank you again for the booking for 2025/.
Lovely location completely unwinded. Everything is present in the cottage. It's just a pity that there is a bit of overdue maintenance.
You couldn't sit on the lounge set, it collapsed completely. That was quite a shame. A...
