Home description
This recently converted one bedroom self contained apartment on the upper floor of a "Quinta" or farmhouse, Casa Kevino, is on a small holding in the little village of Colegio near Bensafrim in the Western Algarve, about 6km north of Lagos. Though remote it's easy to reach as Bensafrim is at the western end of the motorway that runs along the Algarve. You will be close to typical Portuguese villages with local markets, bars and restaurants away from the mainstream of tourists (and tourist prices!). It's a blissfully quiet and relaxing retreat with country walks nearby or farther afield in the nearby national reserve park; you can enjoy our beautiful wild flowers and birds. The property has a garden and smallholding where the owners grow their own produce. Sunbathe on the terrace during the day and enjoy the warm summer evenings with a barbecue! Available on request: organic vegetable delivery/ catering/ foot reflexology...
