Casal de Dona Elisabeth

Casal de Dona Elisabeth is a restored former Portuguese farmhouse with private swimming pool, secluded and located 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 (1 km) is a mini mercado and in Tunes, 3 km, there is a motorway connection and a train station and there are shops, restaurants, a supermarket and cafes.
A little further away you can also do your shopping at Lidl, Aldi and Continente.

During the restoration of the farm, 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 various terraces and is rented out 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 the 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 your own home and privacy with two groups, but still want to enjoy the pool together.
What could be nicer when, for example, you come as parents with your children and their grandparents!

You can see the availability of both houses together in our third advertisement: Casa dupla Elisabeth.
In the summer of 2023, we will only rent out the houses from 15 July to 31 August in combination.

The nearby historic town of Paderne is known for its Moorish castle, a Roman bridge, the ever-flowing spring with wonderfully cool water that flows into a river that you can also swim in, 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 cafe every now and then for a cup of coffee with something delicious...

The Quinta has 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 available but not included and costs only €3 per basket.

Bath towels and beach towels are sufficiently available and included in the price, as are hand and glass towels and bed linen.

One pet is, in consultation, often welcome for a small fee for the cleaning lady.

Bookings made exclusively by young people, ie without their parents, will not be accepted.

We advise you to take out cancellation insurance in case you should cancel your reservation. We cannot be obliged to return any payments made.
