From the owner

CASAS NOVAS is situated in East Algarve. This is a tiny tiny village set in a high valley of the mountainous protected national park of the 'Serra de Alcaria do Cume'. The country roads to Casas Novas change from tarmac at 'Umbria' then along apx 3 k of good forestry road with the final rough track into the village to be driven along slowly.

Our traditional "quinta" is the natural choice to retreat to for peace and relaxation. Nature, calm and quiet. A seasonal spring fed river, offering an occasional swimming hole in winter spring and early summer, provides an oasis for bird life and wonderful springflowers.

'Dark skies' provide a great view of the night sky.

The 'Tarantos' cottage is a traditional Algarve stone barn conversion with roofs and floors in warm terracotta tiles from our local pottery in Santa Catarina. The interior with a recently restored beamed ceiling, is a typical example, using locally sourced bamboo from the banks of our seasonal 'Casas Novas' river.

The Tarantos cottage is furnished with a double bed, wardrobe,ensuite shower and wc. The small lounge joins the fully fitted kitchenette with a table and chairs for eating. Outside the private terrace enjoys a panoramic view across the river valley.
