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.

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.

For small children there is a lot to do in the park, very nice playground. The park is very safe, the children can go there themselves. Unfortunately, the swimming pool across the street is permanently closed contrary to what i...

We enjoyed ourselves in Casa Lara. A beautiful Chalet on a beautiful ornamental pond with various possibilities to sit outside where the birds make themselves heard.
During the day during the week, you should be aware that...

Nice and beautiful Chalet with all the trimmings,
can recommend everyone to book this Chalet.
A tip, small adjustment at the front and back door also makes it possible for walker and wheelchair.

What a great chalet we enjoyed. Nice view of pond and garden. It is also a beautiful area for walking and cycling. It is highly recommended for people who love a quiet stay. Really, really honest.
