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.

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.

It's nice that you also liked this house on Kerkendel so much and that despite the somewhat lesser weather. Thank you for the nice review and we look forward to seeing you again.
