Algarve - Sagres - Pedralva. Villa avec jardin

Maison au calme et très belle vue

Seul bémol, les literies inconfortables

In all respects, the cottage lived up to expectations, indeed, exceeded them. A wonderful break.

This traditional Portuguese cottage was a real treat to stay at! Tucked in the hills alongside a charming village, we had a spectacular view of rolling pastures and were only a few steps away from a lovely and delicious Portuguese restaurant and friendly pizza place. The cottage is directly on the Sao Vicente National hiking trail. Staying at the cottage was like journeying back in time, with its antique furniture and traditional tiles and woodwork. At the same time, the cottage was comfortable and well-equipped. A real highlight were the three outdoor patios on two levels. An opportunity to relax in the sun, take in the views and listen to the peaceful tinkling of sheep’s bells.

The cottage is perfectly positioned to enjoy sunshine from its terraces and the lovely view of the valley. We loved being able to walk some great routes straight fromt eh door, not least the GR Rota Vicentina which passes the front door. I enjoyed greeting the occasional walker passing along this long-distance route to Sagres. It's a also a brilliant place for mountain biking, and you can hire bikes from the restaurant just down the road. This restaurant is so handy, and you can even take breakfast there. The cottage is very well equipped, and has two excellent showers with plenty of hot water. The only downside was a rather hard bed in the main bedroom. A magical place to stay, and somewhere we'd love to visit again.

Das Häuschen liegt in Pedralva, ein kleines Dörfchen das wieder zum Leben und Übernachten erweckt wurde. Im Dorf gibt es eine Pizzeria und ein Restaurant, beides haben wir nicht ausprobiert, sondern haben hinten am Haus leckeres gegrillt. Zum Einkaufen muss man eine 6km lange Schotterpiste zum Supermarkt fahren auch wenn es in Richtung Algarve geht. In der heutigen Zeit eine Zumutung und das ist auch der einzige Kritikpunkt. In 10 Minuten ist der Surferstrand Amado erreicht und ist mit seinen hohen Wellen einfach nur genial. Der Kontakt mit Joao war per E-Mail gut. Wer was ruhiges sucht wird hier fündig.
