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.

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...

We really enjoyed this house with a view of the pond and the surroundings. However, this location is less suitable for small children who cannot swim.
