About this property

Casa das Rodas - Private Jacuzzi & Hydrotherapy

Two bedroom first floor and loft apartment in a private and secluded village house located in the centre of Manta Rota in a quiet 'cul de sac' only 200 meters from the beach.
This spacious apartment in a typical Portuguese village house is tastefully decorated, displaying several interesting features, namely original 1920's Art Deco double doors in Brazilian mohogany and a number of decorative pieces from countries afar. There are also 2 iPod Docking Stations available – one in the 1st floor, another in the loft, and heating and air conditioning throughout.

In the patio the hot/cold custom made jacuzzi that sits 4/5 comfortably with room to move around and splash is in fact a hydrotherapy facility equipped with a variety of massage jets, ready to take care of those sore points in your back 24/7, particularly welcome after an afternoon of beach activities or end of the day BBQ undertakings.

LOW AND MID SEASON HINT:
After a late afternoon brisk walk on the beach treat yourselves to a massage in a warm jacuzzi and then a candle light dinner, in or out. Paradise!

The jacuzzi is to be shared with the owners when they are in residence - which is only VERY occasionally
An outdoor shower in the patio will prove useful for jacuzzi users to shower sand away before getting in the jacuzzi if they are coming straight back from the beach. or quickly refresh themselves after a walk back from the super market in the heat of summer
For those wanting peace and quiet this is an ideal 'writer's retreat' offering special prices for 'longish' lettings

About the host

Hosted by Maria

I am a retired University Professor, whose career spanned in Portugal, the UK and the US. I currently live in the UK but having lived more than half of my life in a variety of countries from Europe to Africa and North America I am familiar with a number of nationalities and cultures and I am determined to make sure that guests have a quality time at Casa das Rodas and ultimately get their money's worth. I always put myself in the position of the paying guests and try and be as helpful to them as I can be, solving mishaps and unforeseeable problems as they arise.

Why they chose this property

My father bought this property in the late 1950s. I was in my twenties then and my children grew up going to Manta Rota for long summers every year. We have holidayed there for many decades and currently it is my grand children that come from the US with their parents to meet with the rest of the family, all scattered about across the world that we are. Throughout the years Casa das Rodas has undergone a number of structural improvements and refurbishments but remains as close to our hearts as it was over 50 years ago - a small fisherman's cottage with a bread baking oven.

What makes this property unique

QUALITY AND CHOICE - THE SPA
The bean shaped jacuzzi (hot/cold spa) that we've constructed in the patio is the only such facility for many miles around and is an immensely convenient one as it offers a variety of hydrotherapy massage jets that make for A VERY RELAXING TIME coming back from the beach just before you get ready for dinner.It marries high peformance with monie star good looks and cutting edge technology for a spa experience like no other. This spa is a classic hydrotherapy facility that delivers the combination of buoancy and massage for your wellness and relaxation as jets work together to pamper you with personalized massage styles while pillow headrests provide comfort and support. This spa is uniquely equipped to deliver the health benefits of hydrotherapy in your own blissful and tranquil sanctuary: you can look forward to hours of hydro--massage therapy, parties with friends and family, or simply well deserved relaxation.

THE BBQ
The BBQ, built in refractive bricks to ensure an even heat distribution and a successful BBQ experience, preventing food to get grilled on one side and not done on the other, is a definite plus to this property. There is nothing quite like a barbecue on a hot summer's day, especially when combined with a spa party. Whether it is the fresh air or sunshine, food somehow tastes better when eaten alfresco.

THE LOCATION
Another unique benefit of this property is its location, meters only from all facilities (supermarket, ATMs, market, restaurants, bars, pharmacy, beach) and yet extremely quiet in a receded 'cul de sac' away from the traffic and noise of the main road, the sea only 200 metres away..
