Quinta Elisabeth

Casal de Dona Elisabeth is a restored former Portuguese farmhouse with private swimming pool, 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 at 1 km there is a mini mercado and in Tunes, at 3 km, there is a connection to the highway and a train station and there are shops, restaurants, a supermarket and cafes.
A little further away in Ferreiras, you can also do your shopping at Lidl, Aldi and Pingo Doce.

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 several 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 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 you, for example, come as parents with your children and their grandparents!

The availability of both houses together can be seen in our third advertisement: Casa dupla Elisabeth.
From 15 July to 31 August and during the May holidays, 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 flowing into a river where you can also swim, and the beautiful church. The area is a feast for the eyes and it is wonderful for walking and mountain biking, 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, including marked walks in the area. For cycling enthusiasts, Willem, as an experienced mountain biker, has made beautiful route descriptions through rural areas, where you will 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 available but not included and costs only €3 per basket.

Bath towels and bath 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 from young people under the age of 25 only, i.e. without their parents, will not be accepted.
