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.

And after that it was great to stay in this free spot by the pond. Lots of privacy.
The chalet is f...
