Home description

*"The Summer House" Traditional Country home, with private Secluded Pool and garden*
THE SUMMER HOUSE is sunny and light, with beautiful timber-beamed rooms, and a private secluded Pool, set in spacious secluded sub-tropical gardens. The Summer House - so called, because it’s where the owners used to spend their summers, before moving back to the ‘big house’ - forms the West wing of their large, traditional Portuguese country home. The superb Summer House is a completely self-contained part of the main house, with its own driveway, parking area, and gate, leading to its own garden, pool and entrance door.

There is a cafe and restaurant within easy walk, and a sleepy traditional village 3 mins drive away offers a restaurant, post office, pharmacy, mini-markets, tavernas and cafes. It’s only 6 mins drive from beautiful medieval Tavira with its riverside restaurants, and several uncrowded golden sandy beaches. The Summer House has a wonderful tranquil countryside setting where you can completely relax.

Guestbook

Our own little piece of heaven – if only for one week. A fantastic villa – beautifully decorated, clean and very comfortable. Good beaches locally and superb weather. Will definitely be back! - K & J Burger, Holland.

We were impressed with the stylish design, and high standard of the villa. Such care has gone into even the smallest detail. We all had a tremendous holiday, thoroughly enjoyable and we hope to revisit in the future. - Norenius family, Norway.

What an idyllic spot! Lovely to be able to escape the midday heat of summer and sit in the dappled shade of the tree, just listening to the birdsong and quiet. We’re so glad that we chose this unspoilt area as our introduction to the Algarve. - P & F Taylor, UK.

We have had a great holiday. The Summer House is a wonderful place to stay. Tastefully furnished and very well-equipped. And the area has fantastic beaches, and we loved Tavira – we couldn’t have wished for anything better.
R & D Richards, UK.
