almóada

La Almóada is a beautiful 4-bedroom vacation rental house with an eclectic Boho style and sturdy 19th-century traditional clay walls. The holiday home has been carefully renovated, breathing new life into what used to be a farmhouse where a family lived and worked. The house has retained its simplicity and seems to be infused with memories of the past. Its owner, Ricardo, has preserved its personality, resulting in a home with traditional touches and all modern conveniences.

The house features a lovely and well-equipped kitchen, a living room with a fireplace, and an honesty bar corner to enjoy a drink in the evening. The rooms are divided into a suite with a private bathroom, two rooms with shared bathrooms, and an additional room in an adjoining annex building with its own entrance and a private bathroom. Two of the rooms can be configured with either single or double beds.
The wine cellar with its unique wine specialities provides everything you need for a memorable evening.

The garden, adorned with native trees and plants, welcomes guests with a charming terrace next to the heated pool, perfect for relaxing in the shade with a good book. There are two additional areas to enjoy the coolness, one for dining and another under a pergola with an old iron bed where you can while away the time. 

The owners have paid attention to every detail in the house, providing luxurious bath products, high-quality towels and linens, board games for entertainment, beach towels available upon request, and a selection of books in various languages. They also offer concierge services, where you can request breakfast, meals prepared by a chef, cooking classes, additional cleaning services, and massages.

The house is located in the countryside, near the charming village of São Brás de Alportel, a typical quiet and peaceful Algarvian hamlet with a welcoming population and streets dotted with white houses. The silhouette of the church bell tower stands on the horizon, and the surrounding hills add a special charm to the setting.

The accommodation includes a sound system for enjoying lounge music and Wi-Fi with a professional signal in common areas, although the signal is limited in the resting areas. It's worth noting that the house does not have a television, promoting a lifestyle more connected to the tranquillity of the surroundings
