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.

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.

Thank you very much for the nice review and the positive recommendation. We will see who can make a roller board for us to make the entrance and exit more accessible for a wheelchair and walker, is indeed a good recommendation ...

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.

Been to this park for the 3rd time, but 1st time in Casa Lara. Lovely quiet park and beautiful garden and cottage, where we enjoyed the birds and the squirrel. Despite the bad weather, we were able to cycle in between the showers.
