Casal de Dona Elisabeth is a restored former Portuguese farmhouse with private swimming pool, free and situated on a hill in the rolling countryside between Paderne and Tunes, wonderfully quiet yet very central in the Algarve.
Only 15 minutes by car from Albufeira with its beautiful beaches, many terraces, restaurants and golf courses. In Vale Pegas at 1 km there is a mini mercado and in Tunes, at 3 kilometers, there is a connection to the highway and a train station and there are shops, restaurants, a supermarket and cafes.
A little further afield, you can also do your shopping at Lidl, Aldi and Continente.
During the restoration of the farmhouse, two independent houses were created:
The spacious main house from this advertisement, the Quinta, has three bedrooms and is fully equipped for groups of up to six people, has several terraces and is rented including private use of the large swimming pool. The swimming water is quickly at a very pleasant temperature thanks to our pool cover.
Our second home is the Cottage, with two bedrooms for four guests. In addition to the sunny terrace in front of the door, this house also has two roof terraces above the garage. However, the use of the swimming pool is reserved for guests in the Quinta.
The Quinta and the Cottage together form a family accommodation if you want to come with more than six people, or if you want to have your own house and privacy with two groups but still want to enjoy the swimming pool together.
What could be more pleasant when, for example, you come as parents with your children and their grandparents!
The availability of both houses together can be seen in our third listing: Casa dupla Elisabeth.
From July 15 to August 31, we only rent out the houses in combination.
The nearby historic town of Paderne is famous for its Moorish castle, a Roman bridge, the ever-flowing spring with wonderfully cool water that flows into a river in which you can also swim, and the beautiful church. The area is a feast for the eyes and it is wonderful to walk and mountain bike, for the latter you need to be reasonably practiced because there are more climbs than you might expect.
In the reception folder you will find walking routes, also of marked walks in the area. For cycling enthusiasts, Willem, as an experienced mountain biker, has made beautiful route descriptions through rural areas, where you still pass a café from time to time for a cup of coffee with something sweet...
The Quinta has a combined heating/cooling in the living room/kitchen, cooling and heating are included in the price.
There is also a closed wood stove, wood is in stock but not included and costs only €3 per basket.
Bath towels and beach towels are provided in sufficient quantities and included in the price, as are hand and glass towels and bed linen.
One pet is often welcome, in consultation, for a small fee for the cleaning lady.
Bookings made by young people only, i.e. without their parents, will not be accepted.
