About the host
Hosted by Ann-Brita and Julian
About the owners Regular visitors with our two young sons to Quinta da Saudade, we fell in love with this unique place. Its genuine peace and tranquility, its closeness to nature and proximity to the wetlands nature reserve and beaches just a few 100 metres away were irresistible to us. So much so that when in late 2015 the opportunity came up to buy a villa here, much in need of love and attention, we jumped at it.
In May 2016 and after a lot of hard work, we were delighted to have completed the renovation, giving not only us the chance to enjoy this wonderful place, but also our rental guests, many of whom return year after year. We very much hope you enjoy staying here as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
When we bought the villa in autumn 2015, it was in desperate need of love and attention. We consciously decided to renovate every aspect of the house from the foundations up and make it light, spacious and airy with a contemporary, continental feel that complemented the villa’s traditional design. We also wanted to make the most of the stunning views, in our view, the best on the Quinta.
We gave it the name Casa Amizade* to reflect the friendly atmosphere here and the superb support offered by those who help in the smooth running of the Quinta, our conscientious maids and our hard working gardeners.
It’s always been our dream to find a place here in the sun, close to where we first met almost 40 years ago in Portimao.
We hope you like it as much as we do.
Ann-Brita and Julian
