About this property

Cozy holiday home on the edge of the Ria Formosa nature reserve

"visit eastalgarve / Contrabaixo"
-----------------------
Not far from the exciting lagoon landscape of Ria Formosa is a loving house that is geared towards guests seeking peace and quiet. The Contrabaixo is named after the profession of its possession, a double bass player. Since it can be assumed that it is a particularly inspiring place ...
You reach the remote property via a dead end and stand undiminished in a well-tended garden with old pines, palm trees and typical plants. The south-facing house stands in the middle of the area, a high wall protects from the only neighbour, on the other hand there is only pure nature. Various shady and sunny corners and seats are available around the house, but the most popular is the small roof terrace, from which you have an impressive 180 ° view and can watch the tides in the lagoon all day.
The house is furnished in a rustic Portuguese style, with personal details and selected pictures on the walls. All rooms have several windows and allow the view of nature to run free. Three bedrooms can accommodate up to 5 people, for which there are also two modern bathrooms. All bedrooms have air condition (on cost). The living room in the centre of the house and the communicative kitchen offer all the necessary comfort. A powerful fireplace and gas central heating are available for cool evenings or winter time.
On the numerous mild days of the year, there is an outdoor shower, grill and summer kitchen, so that you only have to enter the house to sleep.
Only a few meters on foot and you are in one of the most beautiful places in the Eastern Algarve. The Bay of Arroteia with its colourful fishing boats is still a little insider tip. At low tide you can take long walks through the mudflats, where there are many birds, crabs, shell collectors, etc. to discover. And if you still swim through the narrow channel at low tide, you can even take a bath in the cool Atlantic. 6 hours later the lagoon is like a huge lake and the water reaches all the way to the shore and invites you to splash around. A recurring natural spectacle right on the doorstep ...
