About this property
Casinha Formosa, a beautiful farmhouse with pool near the coast
Casinha Formosa is a wonderful house, a renovated "Quinta" (a typical Portuguese farmhouse) with 3 bedrooms and a newly built pool. It still has that real old-fashioned, cozy atmosphere, but with all modern conveniences. The quinta is named after the nearby Ria Formosa Natural Park with the amazingly beautiful lagoons and vast beaches on the islands off the coast. The house is very conveniently located near the beautiful coast in the Eastern Algarve, south of the town of Moncarapacho, and only 2 kilometers from Fuseta and the beach. Also fascinating towns such as Olhão and Tavira are very easy to reach. Casinha Formosa is situated in a rural, intimate landscape with all privacy. The entrance hall welcomes you in the atmosphere of tradition. There is a living room with a spacious seating area. In addition, there is a separate dining room with a nice-sized dining table for cozy long dining. The kitchen is new, fully equipped, including an induction hob and dishwasher, and completely in the country style of the house and the surroundings. On the ground floor there is 1 suite, a very spacious bedroom with a double bed and a sitting area. There is an en-suite bathroom with shower. From the bedroom you have access to the terrace that runs around the house. A staircase leads from the kitchen to the first floor, where you have a large landing and access to 2 bedrooms. One bedroom is spacious with a double bed and a seat. There is an en-suite bathroom with a corner bath / shower. An outside door leads to a small balcony from where you can see the ocean in the distance. The third bedroom in the house is a somewhat smaller room with 2 single beds. From the landing on the first floor you can access the roof terrace via a small passage. A lovely terrace for those balmy summer evenings or to enjoy some hours of winter sun. You have a view over the rolling landscape and the ocean. Casinha Formosa is nice and cool in the warm summer months, but there is air conditioning for extra coolness. Around the house is a terrace where you can spend wonderful relaxing hours. A new built pool invites you to take a refreshing swim.
Casinha Formosa is very easy to reach, it is only a half an hour drive from Faro airport. You can reach the beautiful beaches, fascinating coastal towns such as Fuseta, Olhão and Tavira by car, but you can also explore the beautiful interior of the Algarve, where time seems to have stood still. A nice day trip to world cities such as Lisbon or Seville is a great option. If you prefer to leave the car as much as possible, you can explore the area by bike or cycle to the beach. But you can also take a wonderful walk through the countryside or along the beach. Casinha Formosa offers atmosphere, tranquility and space, but with all facilities within reach.

Amazing placeWe are a family of 4 and it is plenty of places including for 6 peopleSuper quietLovely garden with full of spaces to chill and pick some figues or raisinsGreat poolAlso well located close to Fuseta and OlhaoAnnelies was a great host , always available for any question and advicesHighly recommandable
Lovely house. Child friendly and very peaceful. Not too far from shops if you have a car. House was clean and very well equipped. Hosts were responsive and accommodating.
Das Haus ist sehr nett eingerichtet. Besonders gefallen hat uns, dass es rund um das Haus sehr viele Sitzgelegenheiten gibt. Positiv hervorzuheben ist auch, dass in der Küche bereits eine sehr gute Grundausstattung an Gewürzen, Olivenöl etc. vorhanden war, so dass man bei dem ersten Großeinkauf nicht bei "Null" anfing. Bis Moncarpacho, Fuzeta und Olhao sind es nur wenige Autominuten. Aufgrund der Lage ist ein Mietwagen oder eigener PKW aber erforderlich, da fußläufig weder Einkaufsmöglichkeiten noch Restaurants zu erreichen sind. Die Klimaanlagen (die u. E. im Sommer in Südportugal erforderlich ist) funktionierteneinwandfrei. Check-in und check-out waren unproblematisch.
Zwei Kleinigkeiten gab es, die uns etwas gestört haben: Es gibt in dem Haus keine Kleiderschränke (Schlafzimmer unten). In den oberen Schlafzimmer war der vorhandene Kleiderschrank bereits belegt. Schade fanden wir auch, dass der eigentlich vorhandene gemauerte Holzkohlegrill nicht als solcher genutzt werden kann. Es wurde uns aber als Alternative ein Elektrogrill zur Verfügung gestellt. Zudem hatten die Vormieter einen kleinen Holzkohlestandgrill zurück gelassen, der ebenfalls genutzt werden konnte (der für das Zubereiten von Gerichten für fünf Personen im Grunde genommen aber zu klein war).
Insgesamt haben wir den Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft sehr genossen.
La maison est réellement équipée pour y vivre. Il n'y manque rien. Il ya toute la vaisselle pour de nombreuses personnes. La coutume est de laisser le trop acheté pour les suivants. Annelies est très accueillante et disponible. La voiture est à l'abri à l'intérieur de la grande propriété. Un jardinier et un nettoyeur de piscine sont passés une fois en 10 jours et sont restés très discrets. Les 2 visites ont bien été annoncées par sms. Très bonne literie. Ancien bâtiment non conçu pour aller facilement de la cuisine sur la terrasse, mais ce n'est qu'un petit inconvénient.
A lovely villa and perfect for our family of six plenty of room for us all - evening dinners over looking the pool area and mountain views were lovely. The villa has a lovely character , kitchen well equipped with plenty of crockery and cooking equipment Very well located a short drive from Olhao but in a quiet neighbourhood. Annelies was a very helpful host and super quick communicating. We very much hope to return
Séjour en famille où tout le monde a trouvé sa place pour profiter pleinement et paisiblement des vacances. Maison très bien équipée et surtout très confortable sans oublier les magnifiques terrasses et la piscine. A l'année prochaine !
Für uns war der gesamte Urlaub perfekt, da wir den einsamen und ländlichen Charakter mit Hundegebell in der Nacht und krähenden Hähnen am Tag sehr lieben.
Bien située, bien équipée, très propre, au calme. Bref exactement ce qu'on recherchait !
Merci à Annelies pour les oranges et le pain le 1er jour, ça fait toujours plaisir.
