The space
Right at your doorstep, you will see the local fishermen unloading their daily catches.
100 meters to the left of the house you have the local fish and fruit market where you can buy local produce and prepare a delicious lunch in the fully equipped modern kitchen or on the rooftop BBQ.
Dine at the private roof-top terrace overlooking the magnificent sunset or at one of the cozy neighborhood restaurants.
If you turn right and follow the quayside 200 meters you will find Prai Angria, a beach used mostly by the local Portuguese. This is the perfect place for sunbathing or a swim.
If you continue to the fort, stop and try to find its hidden cave. When you continue you will come to the more touristic Pria Grande with all kinds of service including four excellent beach restaurants and rental of water equipment.
Both beaches are protected by wave breakers protecting the beaches from the Atlantic waves in that might make swimming risky at many other beaches in Algarve. After the wave breakers, there is a great area for surfing.
Many of our guests just loved the breathtaking beautiful trail that starts at Pria Grande. You follow a marked path and on the cliff edges with absolutely breathtaking views. You pass the beaches of Praia do Molhe, Pintadinho, and Caneiros where you can stop or have a drink. The Seven Hanging Valleys (Sete Vales Susensos) has been named the best Hiking Destination in Europe.
Returning home, you can take a shower on the rooftop shower before watching the magnificent sunset from the hot tub.
After a drink in the launch set on the rooftop, you can go to Tres Dukes and take a bear with the local fishermen. Next door you find Amigo, a very popular place for visitors. Continue down the narrow-cobbled alley lined with traditional Portuguese houses takes you to a range of excellent local restaurants. After 200 meters you pass the local butcher before entering the town square.
Village life still revolves around the quayside square with its narrow cobbled streets and steps, meandering up from the old quay to the summit of the small village with its 2000 inhabitants.
If you are into busier nightlife you can take the water taxi to Pria de Rocha. Within walking distance, you have a casino and many beach bars and nightclubs for every taste.
When you enter the house from the fishing docks there is a traditional hallway, a master bedroom, and a modern bathroom. You also find a guest room with bunk beds on the first floor.
A traditional narrow and steep stairway leads up to the second floor where there is a lounge with a dining area, sofa, TV, and a reading chair. You also find a second guest bedroom, a modern bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen with granite work surfaces, a hood with external ventilation, a high-quality microwave, freezer, fridge stove, and an oven.
There is a kitchen door leading to the narrow-cobbled streets where you might find the neighbor fisherman sitting repairing his fishing nets.
The 50 cm thick walls with charming traditional wood window shutters add to the characteristics of the house and will keep the heat out during the summer. The floors are covered with terracotta floor tiles.
Stairs from the hallway lead to the roof tower and the 43 m2 large fantastic private roof terrace. It has sun throughout the day with an astonishing and relaxing 180 degrees view of the blue water, the beach, and the town.
