About this property

Casa Gecko is a modern, two story contemporary holiday house in the heart of the beautiful village of Raposeira, West Algarve. Situated in the famous Costa Vicentina National Park, Casa Gecko is just a few minutes from several spectacular beaches, local restaurants, cafes and other amenities.

Casa Gecko is a very spacious, fully equipped one bedroom modern two story house which sleeps two people comfortably.Guests staying in Casa Gecko will get a real taste of traditional Algarvean Village life and also enjoy a bit of luxury during their stay.

Guests staying at Casa Gecko wake up and step straight out through patio doors from the upstairs double bedroom onto the beautiful private south facing roof terrace, enjoying wonderful views over the open countryside and village rooftops.

The roof terrace comes complete with a large Weber BBQ and luxury garden furniture which allows guests to relax in real comfort.The open plan modern kitchen and dining area is fully equipped and includes a large fridge freezer, hob/oven, dishwasher, washing machine, pod coffee machine and ample dining space.

The spacious open plan living area features a large LED smart TV connected to the house’s high speed fibre optic broadband enabling guests to access a large number of channels as well as online entertainment services. The house also includes wireless speakers enabling guests to stream music from their smart phones or other devices.

The house is equipped with several eco wall heaters.

The upstairs double bedroom has plenty of storage space including a fitted wardrobe. The double bed features an LED head board and deluxe memory foam mattress.

Casa Gecko has a large upstairs bathroom (with shower, bath, sink, bidet and WC) and also an additional downstairs WC with sink.

Due to the traditional layout of the village, guests are advised to park in the main square and make the short walk through the winding streets to the property. It is possible to drive up to the front door of the house in order to drop off luggage, but please be aware that the streets are very narrow. We think that this is a small price to pay for waking up to fresh air and bird song rather than fumes and traffic noise.

Wonderful lovely area and amazing caring hosts

We wanna say thanks for this nice house in Raposeira. We had a great time with wonderful weather, many treamandous moments and impressions (we really enjoyed the roof top with grill and the beaches in the near to the house). At the beginning of the holidays we got a lot of informations about the house and zhe area (restaurants, supermarkets and so on). The furnishing of the house is really great and during our stay, there have been a cleaning team in the house. They made a fantastic job and the communication with the hosts about that was really good. Thanks to the hosts for their kindness and enormously engagement, that allow us having one of our best journeys till today. We will let casa Gecko in our heart and are very thankful. The hosts were reachable at every time you need and so sympathic.

Super Lage zu den besten Stränden

Unsere Wohnung in Raposeira entsprach genau der Beschreibung. Der Check-in Vorgang war problemlos. Wir hatten jederzeit einen Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Besonders gefallen hat uns die Lage - Raposeira ist ein kleiner Vorort von Vila do Bispo, wir konnten fußläufig das Wichtigste einkaufen und in Vila do Bispo hat man sowieso alles, was man braucht. Die Lage zu den westlichen Stränden ist ideal, außerdem zum Cabo de S. Vicente und auch zu einigen südlich gelegenen Stränden. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit!

About the host

Hosted by Callum and Zoë McCutcheon

Hi, we are Callum & Zoë. We currently live in Scotland and have been enjoying wonderful trips to the West Algarve for over 20 years.

Why they chose this property

Raposeira and the surrounding area is a paradise for nature lovers, surfers and those who simply want to relax and experience the area’s amazing beaches, culture and fabulous cuisine. The village of Raposeira is only a five minute drive from the famous Zavial beach, and is also very close to many, many others. Whether you prefer the calm, turquoise waters of the sheltered south coast or the world class surfing on the west coast, you will be spoilt for choice.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with Casa Gecko because it has a very modern feel but is located in one of the most beautiful authentic villages in the whole of the Algarve.
Casa Gecko is a very spacious, fully equipped one bedroom modern two story house located in a quiet cobbled traditional village street. The large, south facing private roof terrace and modern interior allows you to immediately relax and unwind. Guests wake up to the sounds of nature rather than traffic noise and will enjoy wonderful Algarve sun on the roof terrace from sunrise through to sunset.
