Cozy & tranquil country house for 4 persons with private pool.
This country house is located in a tranquil and magnificent setting. A place where you can get away from everything. A delightful Villa with a private pool built in traditional algarvian style with breath taking views.
The Villa resides on three acres in the hills. It overlooks a valley with spectacular views. There is an abundance of exotic wild flowers and orchids that grow beneath ancient olive and carob trees, which line the hills. It is a nature lovers paradise and an artist’s delight. Peaceful surroundings invite you for long walks or just a fitful rest.
.The Villa is 2km from the centre of Santa Catarina, a charming rural village typical of the region. It contains a mixture of tavernas, cafés, a post office and a bank. There is also a small daily fruit and vegetable market. Santa Catarina hosts a traditional Portuguese Sunday market once a month, where you can find everything from goats to leatherwork and local culinary specialities.
15km from Santa Catarina in the eastern Algarve lies the ancient and picturesque town of Tavira. Tavira offers something for all. Historical churches, a castle and a museum, a colourful market, excellent shopping facilities and numerous bars and restaurants.
The coast near Tavira belongs to Parque Natural da Ria Formosa. Consisting of dunes and a lagoon complex, it is known as Ilha da Tavira . It is a paradise for bird watching. Nearby Tavira Island can only be reached by a short ferry ride, here you will find cafés, bars and restaurants, serving anything from sandwiches to regional dishes including shellfish delicacies. Activities include sailing, windsurfing, pedal boats and parasols. Even in the peak time of August this beach is relatively uncrowded.
Barril Beach – children love the miniature railway that shuttles back and forth across a nature reserve to the beach of Barril. There is a good self service restaurant and bar on the beach as well as attractive cafés. Here they organise Bbqs and dancing on he beach once a week. There is also tennis, windsurfing, beach volleyball and pedal boats for hire. A few minutes in either direction you will find miles of beautiful, peaceful, dune fringed beaches.

We are the only ones that carefully select unique and spectacular accommodations away from the touristic areas.
· Why do we use the Your.Rentals booking system?
Your.Rentals is the preferred system for owners of unique little 'secret' places - they present their places themselves and decide on the conditions themselves.
