Former Fishermens Cottage With Private Pool Steps From The Beach
Sleeps 6 · 3 Bedrooms · Private Pool · 100m from the Beach
Authentic Portuguese Character, Thoughtfully Preserved
Step into a beautifully restored, 300-year-old fisherman’s cottage, where the charm and character of old Portugal have been lovingly preserved.
This is no ordinary holiday home. Carefully restored and tastefully furnished by an interior architect, the cottage has retained its original identity and the unmistakable atmosphere of a traditional Portuguese fisherman’s home.
Thick whitewashed walls, soft natural colours, carefully selected furnishings and unique decorative pieces create a warm, inviting atmosphere full of character and personality.
Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, while respecting the simplicity and authenticity that make this historic cottage so special.
A Peaceful Hideaway with a Private Pool
Tucked away in the charming coastal village of Praia da Luz, just 100 metres from the beach, the cottage offers a wonderful combination of privacy, tranquillity and village life.
The secluded garden, private swimming pool and shaded terrace beneath the fruit trees provide an idyllic setting for lazy afternoons, leisurely breakfasts and long summer evenings.
Start your morning with freshly brewed coffee beside the pool, spend the day exploring the beautiful Algarve coastline, and return home for a relaxed dinner under the stars.
A Home Full of Character
The cottage has been carefully furnished to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, with an eclectic mix of traditional Portuguese pieces, natural materials and carefully chosen decorative details.
Its original architectural features and thick traditional walls are a reminder of the building’s long history, while its intimate spaces invite guests to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of holiday life.
You’ll also find a selection of books in several languages and board games for quiet evenings at home.
A Personal Touch
With a background in interior and landscape architecture, I have personally restored, designed and furnished each of our holiday homes.
Having spent over 25 years in the Algarve, I have developed a deep appreciation for the region’s architecture, traditions and relaxed way of life.
The cottage reflects my love of authentic buildings, beautiful interiors and unusual finds. Many of the furnishings and decorative pieces have been carefully collected during my travels throughout Portugal, giving the house its own distinctive character.
My aim has always been to create something more personal than a typical holiday rental — a welcoming home with its own story, where guests can truly relax and feel at ease.
Discover Praia da Luz and the Western Algarve
Despite its peaceful setting, the cottage is just a short stroll from the beach, restaurants, cafés, local shops and a bakery where you can pick up fresh bread in the morning. Free parking is available nearby.
Whether you enjoy coastal walks, cycling, discovering secluded beaches, visiting local vineyards or exploring traditional Portuguese villages, the Western Algarve has something special to offer.
To help you make the most of your stay, I’ve put together a collection of personal recommendations, including favourite restaurants, hidden gems, local markets, beautiful places to visit and experiences you might otherwise miss.
Arrive, Unwind and Feel at Home
We want your holiday to feel effortless from the moment you arrive.
The beds will be freshly made, towels will be provided, and you’ll find a selection of everyday essentials waiting for you.
All that’s left to do is slow down, enjoy the sunshine, take a refreshing dip in the pool and embrace the relaxed rhythm of life in the Algarve.
We look forward to welcoming you to our little piece of Portuguese history.
