About this property
Casa da Praia Algarve - Cosy Former FishermenÂŽs Cottage Close To Beaches!
Welcome to Casa da Praia Algarve â Your Home Away From Home!
Escape to our charming former fishermanâs cottage in the heart of Vila do Bispo! This cozy retreat blends traditional charm with modern comforts, offering the perfect setting for a relaxing beach getaway. Nestled in a picturesque village, you're just minutes from breathtaking coastal trails, stunning beaches, and the authentic Algarve lifestyle. Whether you're here to surf, explore, or unwind, our unique cottage is your ideal h base.
We can not wait to host you!
Our modern designed 2 bedroom cottage with free high speed wifi is perfect for a beach break.
Luxurious touches such as a rainfall shower, a cosy corner for reading, and a beautiful modern kitchen area make it a great place to unwind.
It's perfectly located in the centre of Vila do Bispo in a quite street, where you'll find a small supermarket for groceries, a bank with ATM, and plenty of places to eat out near the house. The closest beaches are Cordoama, Castelejo and Barriga at a few min drive from the house.
The self-catering cottage is close to the local farmers market, shops, bars and restaurants so you don't need to go far for your daily fresh bread, fruit or to go out for a meal.
It was completely refurbished with a new kitchen, bathroom, new furniture etc... and has plenty of accommodation. Curling up with a book in the sitting room, is a great way to get in the holiday mood. Start the day with coffee and honey cake, enjoy a day at the beach or exploring the sights, then finish the evening relaxing in the seating area.
The Casa da Praia Algarve portfolio has been personally developed by myself I am interior and landscape designer who has lived in the Algarve for more than 15 years.
The cottage is scattered with unique and eclectic pieces, gathered from my travels from around the world.
Share a meal cooked in the peace of the house or venture out to one of the many local restaurants and bars.
For quieter evenings and undisturbed relaxation, you'll find a selection of board games and TV.
Looking for a vegetarian dining options, a vineyard or where to find almond and fig orchards? Hoping to catch a glimpse of a wild boar or a dolphin? Yearning for a hand-woven blanket or a handbag made from cork?
The property has a folder contains a sampling of our personal favourites - places to go, things to see, what to buy and what to eat.
I live locally and is available to help with any problems or questions.
How nice is that .... The beds are made and there are enough towels in the closet. The house is equipped with hand, tea and dish cloths, herbs, dishwasher tabs or dishwashing liquid, hand soap, soap, , coffee, tea, sugar, garbage bag and also the first roll of toilet paper is not lacking.
No stress ... .. you have vacation! Good food, a good glass of wine, a dip in the sea, cycling, walking or just nothing at all. We hope that you quickly feel 'at home' and enjoy

We are at hand if you need us.
The Neighborhood
Vila do Bispo is a small town with older, typical Algarvian houses clustered around the 16th century church. It's set in Costa Vicentina National Park, and close to the Park de Floresta tennis and golf course.
When to come
The Algarve is an all year round holiday destination.
If you're not tied to the school holidays, the spring and autumn months are a lovely time to be here, and of course, much quieter than high summer.
Even December and January can be warm and sunny although the evenings are often chilly. Not all the restaurants and bars stay open in winter, but there is still plenty of choice, and a warm welcome.
Getting around
You will find everything you need in the village but you will need a car if you want to explore the area.
Distance Lisbon - VIla do Bispo = 320 km
Distance Faro - Vila do Bispo = 85 km
Pets not allowed. Smoking inside the property not allowed.

Our property is always open for guests. We like to keep it clean and uncluttered, such as you would expect in a good hotel space. But it is not a hotel - it is a home we like to share with you if you stay.
