A AÇOTEIA ~ EASTERN ALGARVE, PORTUGAL
Outdoor Dining The Villa The Gazebo

A AÇOTEIA FULL DESCRIPTION:

This attractive “summery” villa with a cascade pool is surrounded by decked terraces and a rock garden, set within a small plantation of fruit trees with  distant views of the Ria Formosa estuary (a natural park in south-eastern Algarve).

The comfortable but compact interiors are decorated in sea and sky hues and some modern art pieces, whilst the outdoor areas have designed for enjoying the great Algarve weather: there is a shaded sitting/dining terrace with barbeque area on the ground floor, plus a covered roof terrace on the first floor.
 
The master bedroom suite is on the ground floor and there are 2 further bedrooms upstairs (one twin and one with double bunks) sharing a bathroom. Both the master and twin bedrooms have mosquito nets over the beds and the house is fitted with ceiling fans and air-conditioning throughout.

There is also a round “gazebo” which provides a spacious shaded and cool lounging area by the pool – there are curtains for keeping the heat out in the hottest hours and lighting for spending the evenings outdoors. 

A Açoteia is located in a peaceful location not far away from the sea - the only disturbance here could be the infrequent service from the small railway line which runs approximately 150 meters away. The grounds of the property are totally enclosed and with an entry gate.

Tavira nearby, is one of the most architecturally attractive towns in the Algarve and its origin dates back to around 2.000 BC - just some of its charms are the beautiful empty beaches with sands that seem to go on forever; fields of orange trees, heavy with the scent of blossom; and houses with dazzling whitewashed walls and distinctive chimneys decorated to resemble fine tracery of lace.

NB - Due to some unprotected drops  around the swimming pool, this house is not suitable for families with  toddlers!

THINGS TO DO

  • The Ria Formosa Nature Reserve includes all the sand bar islands from Faro to Manta Rota and is rich in bird and marine life. Within the  reserve are the beaches of Ilha da Tavira - an island which lies opposite the town and has long beaches with good amenities with a regular ferry crossing; Cabanas - separated by an arm of the Ria Formosa, its quiet and isolated but it can be reached by boat from Tavira; Conceição - opposite the village of the same name, an extensive and very calm beach also reached by boat;  Santa Luzia – a vast beach that offers hours of solitude, coupled with the pleasure of warm, clear waters; and Barril – so long, it includes both a cosmopolitan atmosphere and near complete isolation!
  • Sightseeing in Tavira and surrounding villages - were typical houses have traditional borders painted with geometrical or floral motifs that frame walls, windows and doorways plus ornate chimneys rising from the roofs - many of which are masterpieces of mortar work
  • The Spanish border and Seville are also only a short driving distance away – why not visit?
