Chill out and relax in true Portuguese style

Chill out and relax in true Portuguese style at Casa da Aldeia!
The cottage, which date back to 1911, is originally part of a traditional Portuguese farm. However, it has been renovated to offer the perfect Portuguese holiday experience.
The cottage still contain many of the original authentic details such as a well, traditional oven and the preserved tile flooring. This traditional Portuguese feel at the Casa de Aldeia resonates throughout the local area of Santa Babara de Nexe.
The cottage can sleep up to four people, with one bedroom that can sleep two people and another luxury double sofa bed that can accommodate an additional two people.
The Portuguese holiday home has a private entrance, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, living room and outdoor eating area, and they can be booked together or individually. The cottage also come with free Wi-Fi.

Algarve is literally at your feet.
Every morning, the local fish monger pass by the cottages where you can purchase fresh fish. There is also a brilliant butcher just 10 minutes walk from the cottages. We grow our own herbs which are available to all our guests. We also make our own yogurt and jam.
If you want to change things up and experience some of the local city life then Faro is just a 12 minute drive away. With an array of restaurants, cafes and beautiful beaches Faro is a great insight into what the Algarve has to offer.

Away from the hustle and bustle of Faro you can find a range of beautiful island beaches that can be reached by a small train or boat. Away from the sea, you can head to Monchique where you will find the best views of the Algarve and also some of the best Peri-Peri chicken too.
Sticking with the theme of local produce there are a number of local markets in which you can purchase all the local delicacies including cheese, olives, bread and fresh fruit.
We are always here to help and have lots of recommendations from cycling routes to restaurants, so please feel free to ask us any questions!

Wedding

The accommodation was ideal for our short stay ,Monique and Alex were perfect host nothing was too much trouble, all aspects of the accommodation were perfect very clean ,a lovely homemade breakfast served on the veranda, the small pool and sun terrace was a plus for us , a short walk into the village for essentials but Alex soon produce beer and wine on our arrival , I cannot recommend this venue enough,ideal as a touring base .
