Your home-away-from-home in the Western Algarve

The second bathroom has a toilet, large step-in shower and sink. The windows of all spaces open to a garden with mature trees. The space is decorated as a proper home with sturdy and rustic furniture, since the owner lives here during the winter months.

The living room opens to a large veranda with an outside dining table and chairs, and an outdoor sofa area. You will have access to the whole house and garden. There is a BBQ area as well and you will be able to sit out under the stars and have a charcoal BBQ. The owner will provide a big bag of charcoal for you during your stay.
The garden is massive with trees, bushes and flowers and a big lawn.

He knows everything from the best surfing beaches to fantastic cliff walks in the area, to great local restaurants and to where get the best olives and the freshest fish in the Lagos markets. Nearby and within walking distance of the house is the small town of Barao Sao Joao with some restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and a unique Bohemian ambiance.
