This beautiful Farmhouse Cottage has been lovingly restored, retaining many original features including a stone 'feature' bread oven in the dinning room and a large cast iron wood-burning stove for cosy winter evenings. The many different patio areas surrounding the house have shady nooks for those siestas. The roof terrace with breathtaking views of the hills is the perfect place for a sundowner with amazing sunsets, or a romantic star-lit evening dinner! There is a large patio area with a stone built barbecue and grape vine covered seating area. The ivy covered bench patio area is always shaded for a laid back lunch! The pool area has an elevated shaded area with pleasant views. The house is set in the countryside yet only minutes drive from Tavira, and is very private. Our local 'unique' restaurant is only 5 mins walk away!

Further details

Location Information: Tavira is a lovely unspoilt Algarve town sitting on the river Gilao, with its own Fort. Spring and summer bring many local festivals, where areas around the many churches are decorated with paper flowers laboriously handmade by the locals and dancing through the night is common on these occasions! Spain is only 30 minutes drive away, Ayamonti is a pretty town on the border with narrow cobbled streets. Villa Real is on the Portuguese/Spanish border is famous for its linen and towels. The house is about 10 minutes from Tavira where there is a short ferry ride to the long sand bar island beach which has restaurants, and there are many beaches which are pretty much deserted. A natural reserve is within walking distance where there is a picnic area, cafe and a board walk to the waterfall. There are two golf courses within 15 minutes drive.
