Casa na Colina

Casa na Colina is located in a slightly quieter, hilly part of the eastern Algarve. In addition to beautiful nature and a great view, it offers you plenty of privacy. The house is located at the end of an unpaved path that goes up through the hills, quiet, but not far from all kinds of nice sights and/or shops and restaurants. It is an authentic Portuguese house with thick walls and small windows to keep out the summer heat, but with a large terrace including barbecue and paddling pool to fully enjoy the outdoors. 

Casa na Colina consists of 2 independent houses attached to each other with a terrace over the entire length of both houses, private driveway/parking spaces and a piece of land with some fruit trees. If you book with 2 adults and small children, you will have access to the 'main house' (children will sleep in the living room), if you book with more than 3 adults and/or older children, the outbuilding, the so-called 'cottage', is also available, with its own entrance, bathroom and kitchen. Because it has a communal terrace, it is only rented to passengers who belong to each other, so that privacy and tranquility are guaranteed.

The 'main house' has a double bed in the bedroom and 2 sofa beds in the living room. The 'cottage' has 2 bedrooms, 1 with a double bed and 1 with a single bed, private kitchen, living room and bathroom. For toddlers there is a cot, children's bath and potty available. Both houses have plenty of outdoor space where you can enjoy the sun, nature and the view in complete privacy. Directly behind the house there are all kinds of hiking trails into nature. The swimming pool offers cooling on hot summer days. The terrace can be completely closed off by means of gates, useful for both small children and any dogs.

The house is half an hour from the beach and Faro airport and about 5 minutes from the nearest shops in the village of Santa Catarina. Here you will find all the basic necessities, restaurants, a good bakery and an ATM. Large supermarkets (Intermarché, Lidl, Aldi, Pingo Doce, etc.) are about a 15-20 minute drive away in São Bras de Alportel, Moncarapacho or Tavira.

Authentic Portuguese fishing villages such as Tavira, Santa Luzia, Fuzeta and Olhão are about half an hour's drive away, as is Faro with its beautiful old city center and various museums. The (lesser-known) hinterland of the Algarve guarantees unspoiled nature and beautiful views where hiking and nature lovers can indulge themselves. Birdwatchers in particular will get their money's worth with blue magpies, storks, nightingales (in summer), owls, hoopoes, orioles, etc. 

The coast offers you a wide choice of various beaches, fishing villages, restaurants and shops.

The house stands on 2400 m2 of land where oranges, olives, grapes, almonds and pomegranates grow. In the right seasons you can pick!
