Casa Fofinha

Casa Fofinha

Casa Fofinha is a restored farmhouse located in the Algarve, Portugal

This rural farmhouse was in ruins when it was bought by the present owner who spent 4 years restoring it to its present beauty. Particular care was taken to maintain the traditional architecture, using the original building materials.

The grounds of the property cover 15,000 square meters and have breathtaking views across the Algarve to the Atlantic Ocean.

In the tranquil natural garden, guests can stroll along the paths, looking at the wild rabbits which have made it their home. In addition there are chameleons and many species of birds.

A non chlorinated pool, with sun loungers is near the neat lawn. The landscaping and shape of the pools make it a particularly pleasant area.

Near the terrace is a barbecue, which is available at any time for al-fresco meals in delightful surroundings.

The accommodation consists of four self catering suites which have been lovingly decorated and offer exceptional comfort.

Within each suite, there is a living room with a fully equipped kitchenette, a dining area and a sofa corner.

The bedroom has spacious fitted wardrobes with a large bathroom with a twin sink, toilet, bidet and bath/shower.

All the rooms have satellite television, central heating, hair dryer and hand and bath towels and even towels for the pool.

There is a reception area and a self-service bar in a communal area.
