About this property

Restored Farmhouse with Sea Views - Eastern Algarve AL 11736/2017

The farmhouse is set on a south-facing hillside and enjoys spectacular views over un-spoilt countryside down to the sea. Set on 4 acres of grounds and gardens, this charming farmhouse, dating from 1916 is very well furnished in an antique, rustic style and it is just a few minutes drive from the town of Estoi. The Eastern Algarve is still unspoilt and relatively underdeveloped offering a more relaxed atmosphere for those wishing to escape the bustle of the main tourist areas while still having access to glorious beaches frequented more by the locals. Fascinating historic town of Faro within easy reach, and the historic town of Loule, famous throughout the Algarve for its many craft shops and markets. The pretty fishing village of Olhao is 8 kms away. Ideally situated between the east and west Algarve golf courses. Spain is easily reached within 40-45 minutes.

Main House: The main house is divided into two distinct self contained living spaces each having their own kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom.

Wood cabin: There is a self-contained wood cabin on the property that sleeps 2-4 which is included in the rental when the party is larger than 8. It has one bed, bathroom and living area with convertible bed and small kitchen.

A Pristine Hillside Retreat
I have to say pristine and quaint accurately describes the red house. We very much enjoyed our two weeks in the Algarve and the tranquillity plus great location of the house. We were five older folks who came in November. The weather was a crisp blue sky, plenty of sun and some chill at night. That was just fine, but be aware that your primary heating are wood stoves. The stoves worked well however and threw plenty of heat for this time of the year. You also need to take care about the steps in odd places, so you need to get used to them. Having said all that, the house was very unusual and the deck was beautifully situated to see Faro and the sea many miles away. We also has two dog visitors we dubbed black dog and red dog and we really enjoyed their company while it lasted. From this location Estoi and San Bras de Aportel are two unspoiled, local towns with much charm, plus some very good Roman ruins, some nice restaurants and food markets. We also easily accesses Sagres, Lagos, Tavira by car and Sevilla by bus from Sevilla for an overnight. We were well looked after by Vitor who supplied us with handyman support and plenty of wood for the stoves. After two weeks traveling around Portugal, the two weeks in the red house was perfect.

Lovely stay
We really enjoyed our stay, it was a pity the hot water didn’t work in the cabin for two days but that didn’t spoil our time there. The house is in a lovely position and very quiet. We had many meals in so soon felt like home, another bathroom or toilet would be better for 10 people but all in all a lovely property.

Gorgeous Setting
Enjoyed the pool. The view is great. The setting is beautiful. The Estoi area Has many good restaurants. The property is central to the Algarve and close to the Autoroute, which gives easy access to most places in the Algarve. We stayed before and loved it. There are a couple of downsides. There is no air conditioning. There are a lot of ants. You can't leave bread on the counter long enough to make toast without your bread getting full of ants.

THE FABULOUS LITTLE RED FARMHOUSE
Our family stayed at the wonderful farmhouse for four nights. We loved the rustic environment. Having dinner outside under the stars was magical. The children played in the pool and walked around the grounds looking for wildflowers and bunnies. We took day trips to Lagos to see the cliffs and grottos, Olhao for a boat trip to the sandbar islands, and strolls through the palace, the Roman ruins, and Estoi’s plaza. The little red farmhouse is a very special place to stay. We thank Victor and Laura for your hospitality and highly recommend a stay at their home.

Perfectly situated to see all of the Algarve and beyond
My husband and I stayed and Victor and Laura's Alcaria Branca for almost 6 weeks during February and March. Our plan was to escape the worst of the Canadian winter in the sunny Algarve. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and it was cold, rainy and windy for most of our stay. This didn't stop us from exploring, though, and every day we did day trips throughout the Algarve. Alcaria Branca is situated within about an hour's driving distance of some of the highlights of the area, and within about 2 hours you can be in Seville, Spain (not to be missed) or into the rolling hills of the Alentejo. The house itself was clean and the property manager, Vitor, was beyond great. Due to the weather we had to make full use of the heating sources (pellet stove, fireplace and portable propane heater) and he was there to maintain, stock and ensure our comfort. He checked in on us from time to time and he was always just a phone call away. The separate apartment (our daughter and son-in-law stayed there for a week) was charming and perfectly self-contained. We didn't use the swimming pool, but it's a lovely tiled pool that would be a godsend in the warmer months. The only reason this home didn't get a 5-star rating is that we found the bed a bit uncomfortable. This may be a personal preference, but both my husband and I found the bed in the master very hard. A memory foam topper would have made it perfect. Overall, this is a lovely home situated in farmland amongst orange and olive groves. And we thank the owners very much for a lovely stay.

Peaceful and quiet retreat
We stayed for 10 days in January 2018. Loved the location. The place is well equipped with all you need. It is a restored farmhouse of the area with charming vintage and antique qualities. Even though only 2 of us stayed here it would accommodate more. Enjoyed having breakfast in the warm sunshine looking down to the sea. When going to Portugal in January, many places are not insulated or heated. It gets cool at night. This farmhouse has a wood fireplace and a pellet stove and a portable gas heater. The heating was inadequate. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay there. We would return.

Excellent place to stay and relax!
This farmhouse was top quality in every sense of the word from its serene and quiet peaceful location to the beautiful light and airy interior with amazing furnishings.There was no amenity we couldn’t find, and the information left by other guests was also helpful for traveling to nearby sites and restaurants. The bonus for our family was a most adorable old dog who would visit regularly but not so much as a bark. Just loveable and friendly. We can’t recommend this lovely home enough. We definitely wish to return next Fall.

Great spot for a family vacation!
We loved our time experiencing this local gem. We ended up cooking a lot of meals on the grill and preparing large breakfasts to eat outside on the picnic table with the beautiful vistas behind us! The "house book" was loaded with excellent detailed information for the best beaches and sights which made narrowing down all the choices a breeze! Thank you to the owners and house manager for being so communicative and responsive to inquiries. Great place to experience local flavor without all the tourists!!

Awesome Property!
We are a family of 5 from the U.S. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the unique nature of the home and peaceful setting. The town of Estoi is quaint and it is a breeze to get around the greater Algarve region from the home. The owners and house manager were always very responsive and all communication and information was timely and accurate. We highly recommend this property and will do so to family and friends. Thank you for a great experience and memories!
