About this property

Private colourful house in nature, pool, wifi,air-condition,nearby the sea

Quinta da Arte is a country estate on 12 hectares with four separate, individual holiday homes, each of which is special and in the middle of a natural, grown park with art objects surrounded by private gardens.

"Casa das Rochas" with its integrated rock landscape (Rochas means rock in Portuguese) and thus gave its name to the house.
Each of our four guest houses has its own private garden with terraces and sun beds completely embedded in nature.
Casa das Rochas, with its integrated rocky landscape
("Rochas" means rocks in Portuguese) and so the existing rocks were named after the 85m2 house, which is completely private and in the middle of nature.
Privately embedded in the upper part of our property called
"Quinta da Arte", with a total of 4 individual, private holiday homes that all have their own charm.
If you are interested, ask me as well about the colorful: Casa do Teatro, the house in our complex, which is very similar to
Casa das Rochas, but which has an additional, separate bedroom.
Now to Casa das Rochas:
When my husband saw the rocky landscape
Found Casa das Rochas, he decided to simply build the house around it and so the beautiful, completely private, simple and cozy Portuguese house with reed grass ceilings and exposed wood beams was created, which is located in the upper part of our site and is surrounded by nature on all sides .
Ideal for 2 adults, also with children, who value life in nature.
(You can book a holiday as well with your family and friends or small groups with us in connection with the other three houses.
Ask me about a discount when renting multiple houses.)
Casa das Rochas combines everything under one roof and is divided into two levels, which are only separated from each other by three flat steps.
In the upper part there is a pull-out sofa bed (150cm x 200cm) and there is another bed behind a rock nose that can also be a bed for a toddler (up to 10 years).
The beds all have mosquito repellents and fans.
Please ask for a cot and high chair.
There is an open fireplace and you have beautiful views of nature through a window front with mosquito protection.
On the ground floor there is access to the marble bathroom with toilet and bidet and a shower bath.
Here you will find a double bed with mosquito repellent and a hidden cupboard with sliding elements in front of it.
There is a closed salamander stove right next to it, which can be heated with wood and is ideal for the somewhat cooler spring or autumn days.
From here the guest gets through an adjoining and glazed winter garden with a table and two chairs into the separate fully equipped kitchen and the adjoining barbecue area.
Here you will find everything you need for a self-catering stay.
And if not just ask me if I can help you to fulfil your wish.
Right next to the kitchen there is an illuminated outdoor barbecue area.
The house has a shaded outside terrace with 4 chairs and a dining table as well as sun loungers.
Come and enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the many different birds that come to the pond to drink and experience our beautiful surroundings.
And in the back garden area there is a refreshing outdoor shower from which you can see the sea flashing on the horizon.
You are very welcome.
HYGIENE
Dear guests, I know very well that we are all still a little careful when it comes to hygiene measures, even in times after Corona.
As your landlady, I am particularly aware of this.
We have always used disinfectants alongside the cleaning products that are in normal use and will continue to do so.
A clean house for our guests was and is always a special request for us, which our guests can also confirm in their reviews.
I think we can all now, after Corona, look to the future with more confidence and yet we remain mindful and careful in our environment, that's my motto.
Happy holidays after a sad time! Welcome.
Some more informtions:
In the middle part of our plot is the main house with an adjoining dance hall, which can be rented on request.
In the lower part of our plot are the other three very individual houses.
Like the modern all in white:Atelier Studio:
Guests love the art objects with which you live and inspire.
The large, opening studio doors with fluttering, white towels in front lead the guest over a wide flight of stairs to the garden section with its sun loungers, grill and dining area.
Looking into nature and sitting the evening on the so-called Portuguese staircase, it can be one of the beautiful evening experiences to be enjoyed here.
Or the another guest house the Pavilhao da Arte, the house with its beautiful bathroom in blue tones and the large shower bath. The house captivates our guests by the division and size by the many color views and above all by its extra and great, large outside bed with mosquito protection, in which whole families have spent their summer nights and marvelled at the starry night sky.

Please ask me I will send you the link to these houses so you do not have to search for them.

Quinta da Arte is located in Sotavento, the south-east-facing Algarve coast, a coastal landscape with miles of sandy beaches and intact bird and fish life. Here fishing boats cross the waterways of the tamed Atlantic. The property itself is nestled in a wide natural landscape of carob-olive-almond and orange tree plantations. Surrounded by a slightly hilly mountain border, the sea about 8 km away glistens on the horizon. The pearl of the Algarve, the Roman-Arabic Renaissance city of Tavira, at the mouth of the 'Ria do Gilao' is only 10 km away.
Once we have arrived at our hotel, our guests are often amazed at the even bigger or more beautiful conditions of the accommodations than you have already seen and expected in the photos.
The houses are also gladly booked by families or several family friends who then spend their holidays side by side in the houses. Separated and still together.
The people who come to us love the originality of the accommodations and above all the 'being able to live outside'.
They love to be able to rest undisturbed, to move away from their everyday life and to gradually immerse themselves in the Portuguese life rhythm of the people, the sea, the food and life.
The four holiday homes have everything you need and each house shows the guest its very special face.
Children who come to visit us learn to play and discover our entire area because they can move freely and undisturbed and of course the pool is one of the favourite places for them where they would love to spend the whole day if it weren't for that nice other things to discover .....
Read our many reviews!

Peace, nature, inspiration, freedom.

From the ideas of an artist and his creative partner, four individual, artistically designed holiday units were created, where everyone has privacy and their own charisma. The mild climate and light as inspiration, the desire to bring nature and the just mentioned back to the people, glass and iron buildings were designed or z. B. Shaded roofs made of colored acrylic panels.
Each house has its own peculiarities, from absolute privacy to a life with and in art that is never intrusive.
As is the case, for example, in the Pavilhao da Arte, the large outer bed is covered with a mosquito net, which allows the guest to sleep outside in the middle of nature.
Or the many art objects in the house, at the house or directly in the adjacent garden in the form of outdoor sculptures such as. B. the impressive object of a Cologne artist that was installed in a formerly used lime kiln :.
'A memory of the 11th September in New York. '
Or the meditative stone formation of a Lisbon artist with his rune signs and strong message.
These are just two sculptures of other interesting objects that allow the guest to live with art in harmony with nature.
Families are also happy to rent one from us, which will then rent two or three houses at the same time, since they are not far from each other but still leave private space.
And what do our guests say about Quinta da Arte after their holiday days with us: "You have created a little paradise here and we would love to stay here."
Come and succumb to the charm of doing nothing and lounging, be it while watching ants or reading on one of the sun loungers at your holiday home and in the evening you can play a game of boules on the boules alley.
Enjoy the colors, scents and vegetation of the different seasons, especially in the months of April-May and June. B where it is already warm but not so hot and everything is still lush green and fewer people visit the Algarve.
Our property is only 9km away from the most beautiful sights or the clean sea with its wide, great beaches.
Very worth seeing in the Eastern Algarve ....: Miles of sandy beaches protected by beautiful lagoons and mudflats with various game and water birds where even flamingos find a home in the nature reserve of the "Ria Formosa".
A water quality that has been awarded the best EU seal of approval for years and the still existing small fishing villages and their lively goings-on.
Lagoons which enchant and which the guest can overcome with small fishing boats and ferries to get to the sea, which of course can also be crossed on foot via beautifully laid out paths.
There is an old castle and a lot of nature in and around and much more. I will tell you about all our wonderful secrets.
Be very Welcome!

Casa das Rochas
Eine ganz besondere Anlage, wo es soviel zu entdecken gibt. Wunderbar angelegt, großzügig und in die Natur eingebunden. Alles Gute für die Zukunft und ein Leckerchen für Max und seine Schwester (die super freundlichen Hunde).

Idyllic location in nature
This is an idyllic place to stay, away from the crowds, on a wooded hillside surrounded by nature. The hosts, Heidi and Johannes, were very welcoming. The accommodation was very clean and had everything we needed. It is a short drive to Tavira, which has a good selection of cafés and restaurants and the nearby village of Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo also has a small convenience store. The location is perfect, both for access to beaches and for hiking in the hills.

Aussergewöhliche Unterkunft in der Natur
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit auf der Quinta da Arte. Die Ruhe und die Abgeschiedenheit, das schöne Gelände und die indivuelle gestaltete Unterkunft, sowie der schöne Pool haben wir sehr genossen. Mit unserer Vermieterin haben wir uns sofort gut verstanden. Sie war immer sehr hilfsbereit und hat sich stets nach unserem Wohlbefinden erkundigt. Wir können die Unterkunft absolut empfehlen. Wir bedanken uns für die schöne Zeit, die wir dort gehabt haben.

Zu reisen ist zu leben
Wir verbrachten zwei Wochen in Casa das Rochas von Quinta da Arte. Manch ein zahlender Gast würde sich eine weniger holprige Zufahrt zum Anwesen und zum Haus, einen stärkeren Wasserdruck in der Dusche oder eine weichere Matratze wünschen. Aber er sollte auch folgendes wissen: In Quinta da Arte erwarten ihn Herzlichkeit, Freundlichkeit, Hilfsbereitschaft und Kompetenz in Person von Heidi, der Geschäftsführerin. Sie ist immer für Sie da, fragt nach Ihren Wünschen und erfüllt sie nach Möglichkeit. Von Heidi bekommt man wertvolle Informationen über Sehenswürdigkeiten, landschaftlich wertvolle Orte, gute Restaurants und über vieles mehr. Sie ist eine gute Zuhörerin und interessante Gesprächspartnerin. Im Haus hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Wir hatten eine gut ausgestattete Küche, ein mit Moskitonetz versehenes Bett, einen großen Schrank, mehrere Sitzgelegenheiten im und vor dem Haus. Auf der Veranda standen außerdem zwei Liegen. Zu jeder Zeit gab es eine Internetverbindung über WLAN. Casa das Rochas steht umgeben von schattigen Bäumen. Der gepflegte Garten mit vielen Wegen und ruhigen Ecken ist ein hervorragender Ort für Spaziergänge. Am meisten hat uns der Teich vor dem Haus begeistert, denn vom Sonnenaufgang bis zur Dämmerung konnte man dort trinkende und badende Vögel beobachten. Wollte man es den Vögeln in Sachen Baden gleichtun – ging man runter zum kühlen Pool. Wir bedanken uns bei Heidi und Johannes für die wunderwunderschöne Zeit!

Simply wonderful stay!
I had a wonderful stay just 20 minutes north of Tavira in the Algarve. The host, Heidi, was absolutely lovely and made the experience truly special. The accommodation was clean, private, and surrounded by beautiful nature. Heidi went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. She anticipated our late arrival and stocked up the fridge with food and wine, even driving out to meet us at midnight near a landmark to prevent us from getting lost. Her assistance with our bags was greatly appreciated. Heidi's thoughtful touches continued throughout our stay. She provided a bucket and spade for our daughter to enjoy at the beach, swiftly resolved an issue with the Internet, and made sure we felt right at home. The unique accommodation, built into the rock face, added a touch of charm to the experience. Although not without its minor quirks, like the ants getting into our bread, these little encounters with nature only added to the overall charm of the place. The communal pool was a fantastic addition, perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring. While the accommodation offered a peaceful escape, it's worth noting that having a car is essential to fully explore the beauty of the Algarve. Overall, I highly recommend this stay for those looking to immerse themselves in nature, with a warm and accommodating host like Heidi to make the experience even more memorable.
