Rustic house with private pool - 4 guests

Casa Alvorada, one of three stunning cottages in the Callebanda Barracol collection, is nestled in serene, breathtaking countryside 7 km north of historical Tavira. With its gorgeous traditional features and cosy furnishings this is the perfect location for a couples or family getaway. With 2 bedrooms, private plunge pool, bathroom, lounge, fully equipped kitchen, and a shaded terrace ideal for al fresco dining with views. A peaceful, idyllic escape just a short drive from towns and beaches.

INTERIOR
Step into a warm and welcoming rustic cottage, where traditional wooden furniture and exposed beams combine with a bright, open-plan living space perfect for couples or family. The fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher flows seamlessly into a large wooden dining table, perfect for catering shared meals. While at the other end, a cozy lounge space with a comfy sofa, two chairs, and a TV provides a relaxing spot to unwind, cooled by air conditioning in summer or warmed by a log burner in winter. To the rear of the cottage two beautifully appointed bedrooms—a king-size and a twin—plus a walk-in shower make this the ideal family escape. (The twin bedroom can also be made as king size bed).

EXTERIOR
Under a lovely shady terrace a large wooden dining table accommodates 10+ guests for long, leisurely lunches, al fresco dinners under the stars, or a traditional BBQ. The above-ground plunge pool offers a refreshing retreat on sunny days, making it the perfect place to relax, laugh, and soak up the serene countryside surroundings.
