About this house rental

The house, which is approximately 40 square meters in size, features a bright, cozy kitchen-living room, a spacious bedroom, and a bathroom decorated with mosaic tiles. The many windows offer a wonderful view of the surrounding hills and let in plenty of light. All windows are equipped with roller shutters. The house offers enough space for 3 adults or for 2 adults with 2 small children. Two sleeping spots are in the bedroom (a 1.60-meter double bed), and another is in the antique iron bed (1.20 meters wide) located in the kitchen-diner. A crib can also be provided upon request. The custom-built wood-burning stove keeps the house warm for 12 hours in winter. Outside, there are two terraces and a portable pool. Both indoors and outdoors, there are plenty of play options and toys for (young) children.
High-speed Wi-Fi is available free of charge and without limits. Built in 2023, the house captivates with its traditional, regionally characteristic elements and antique furniture. The interior design emphasizes regional character. The kitchen is equipped with an induction stove and a dishwasher. Surroundings: The vacation home is located in the quiet, hilly hinterland of the Algarve, about a 5-minute drive north of the small town of São Brás de Alportel. The house is situated on the outskirts of the village of Tareja, right at the entrance to the Serra de Caldeirão, which is ideal for hiking. Shopping and restaurants are a 5-minute drive away. The location is ideal for exploring the Algarve in all its diversity. A variety of beaches are within a 20- to 30-minute drive. These include the wide sandy beaches on the offshore islands, the “Ria Formosa” nature reserve, and the rocky beaches of the Algarve near Albufeira. Coastal towns such as Fuseta, Tavira, and Olhão are also worth a visit. Inland, you can discover authentic little towns like Loulé and Silves. Faro, the cultural heart of the Algarve, and its airport are just 20 minutes away. Day trips to the Western Algarve around Lagos, to the west coast, and even to Spain (45 minutes) are possible.

Beautiful, Peaceful Stay for Our Family of Three.We spent a week at Casa Alma da Serra in July for a family holiday and babymoon. It was peaceful, scenic, and just what we needed before welcoming our second child.The house sits in a quiet village on a hilltop, with stunning views across the valley. It’s a one-bedroom home, well-decorated and comfortable, perfect for couples or small families. Just a few steps from the front door is the lovely private terrace with an above-ground pool, shaded dining area, sun loungers, and even a sand play station our almost four-year-old loved. Though a narrow village road separates the two, it was used only a few times all week, and every car passed slowly.The location is peaceful and feels remote, but it’s just a 5-minute drive to São Brás de Alportel with shops, restaurants, and more. The hills behind the property are great for hiking.Though the host was away, her sister welcomed us warmly and was always available by WhatsApp for help or tips. A bottle of wine on arrival made us feel instantly at home.There’s no air conditioning, but we didn’t mind. The house can get warm during the heat of the day, which we found added to the experience. We slept well with the windows open. Fans are provided for warmer evenings. Excellent value, relaxing setting, and truly memorable. We would absolutely return.
