Description

The 19th century finca has been restored with great attention to detail and is very spacious (170 sqm). The house is situated on a slope, in the middle of a large garden (1500 m²) with old almond, olive and fig trees. The living area includes the kitchen, the sala (hall), the fireplace room and the patio. The 3 bedrooms are deliberately separated from each other.
The fireplace room connects the historical with the modern part of the building. In the mild Algarve winter it invites you to stay with an open fire. Wood is available.
The 26 m² kitchen-living room is located in the historical part under wooden beams. It is furnished with antique furniture from Provence, so that cooking is fun. The 2m long oak dining table comfortably seats a family with friends. Since 2012 there is a stainless steel electric cooker with ceramic hob, next to it the double sink, dishwasher and a tall fridge.
For breakfast you will find everything, such as a coffee machine. Microwave, e-egg cooker, bread slicer and e-juicer in the former fireplace
The house has two bathrooms with WC. In the new building with bathtub and washbasin, in the old building with Scandinavian shower, bidet, washbasin and washing machine. All windows are barred and the windows in the new building have thermopane windows with fly screens.
There is also an additional baby cot in the large bedroom
In the shady patio (inner courtyard) with a view into the garden and up to the Pousade of Bras you can have breakfast or spend the day relaxing on one of the 3 garden loungers while reading from my small library. 2 large sunshades provide protection where you want it.
For romantics I have about 60 - 80 CD's
For cool evenings in autumn and winter the fireplace warms you, for quiet hours there are various games or a small library.
Especially in the evening, at sunset, with a fantastic view of the Atlantic, over the small town of Sao Bras and a glass of Vinho Verde, you can dine and chat romantically on the roof terrace.
Garden furniture and three sun loungers with mattresses are available, as well as two Hollywod swings.

The 1500 sqm garden, which is situated on a slope, is divided into two terraced levels. Each terrace has its own character.
If you like to relax under the trees, you will find many cosy, quiet spots where you can completely retreat.
Children can climb large trees in the garden or set up an existing tent to sleep outside. For the very young, there are inflatable paddling pools of different sizes, lots of sand and beach toys and parasols for the beach.
The barbecue area with brick barbecue, beer garden table and benches is located behind the house (for the sake of disturbing smoke) in a particularly beautiful spot with a view of the "Nightingale Valley" and a Hollywood swing.
The panorama from the roof terrace is unique. Breakfast and undisturbed sunbathing in the gentle breeze are unsurpassed there.
You can park a car on the property below you.

Location and surroundings of object

The house is situated on a slope, in the middle of a large garden (1500 m2) with old almond, olive, medlar and fig trees. It is very quiet with Portuguese, German and English neighbours.
At its feet is the small town of São Brás de Alportel. From the roof terrace of the house, the eye sweeps beyond São Brás over the Sierra de Monte Figo to Faro on the Atlantic Ocean, 17 km away. On a clear day, you can see the lights of the fishing boats leaving at night.
The surrounding area has retained its rural character. To the north is the sparsely populated Serra do Malhão with traditional mountain villages. Less than half an hour's drive from São Brás, you are in the middle of the wilderness.
No through traffic, few neighbours, 2 Portuguese, 3 English families (one of which has the keys to the house), 2 German houses,
The centre of the small town of São Brás is a 20-minute walk from the house. There are supermarkets,restaurants,banks,new gr market hall(weekdays till 1pm , Saturdays country people fresh fruit üse) and freshly caught fish are offered.
10 feet is the very nice supermarket "Pinco Doce".
There are ice cream parlours and restaurants serving local fish specialities, with local or international cuisine.
Between Roman ruins and the church, São Brás has a very idyllic swimming pool with an excellent restaurant - also open in the evening. Since 2008, there is now also a very modern indoor swimming pool.
Close to the house there is a small corner shop where you can get fresh bread in the morning. This small "supermercado" is also one of the very few shops licensed to serve loose wine directly from the barrel.
A small, nice restaurant is also just a few minutes' walk away (a few hundred metres in the direction of Sao Bras).
Downhill, in the direction of Loulé (about a foot) in Vilarinhos, a very good restaurant with local cuisine has opened since 2012. In winter with open fireplace and winter garden.

São Brás is about 17 km north of Faro.
There are year-round flights to Faro from most German airports.
Via the nearby motorway you can reach Seville/Spain-Andalusia in 1 1/2 hours or Lisbon in 3 hours.

Very beautiful house with garden

We had two wonderful weeks at Casa Colina Verde.

The house is located away from the village in a beautiful quiet hillside location among locals. It is cozy and lovingly furnished, equipped with everything you need for your holiday, even a beach tent, toys, and various paddling pools are available.
The kitchen is very well equipped. We didn't miss anything!

The communication with the landlady is flawless, fast, and very warm.

The village of Sao Bras is also within walking distance.

The Casa is an ideal starting point for many trips in the surrounding area. It is recommended to rent a car.

Shopping possibilities: Some supermarkets are available in Alportel and there is also a Lidl.

We found the most beautiful beach in Fuseta. With the ferry or water taxi, you can easily get to the offshore islands with a beautiful sandy beach, where the water is shallow. Ideal for small children. Our son loved it.

The only downer on this vacation were the many mosquitoes at the time, which did not allow us to enjoy the beautiful roof terrace in the evenings. However, we enjoyed our coffee there in the morning and admired the sunrise.

Thank you very much again for allowing us to use your beautiful house!

Beautiful time on the Algarve

We had a very nice time at the Algarve this summer. As a starting point to explore the Algarve, Casa Colina Verde is highly recommended. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival and were positively surprised by the spacious and lovingly furnished Casa. All in all, we had a very nice time in Portugal.

Schöner Urlaub im ruhigen Hinterland der Algarve

Das Haus besticht mit seinem Charme, der liebevollen Einrichtung, seiner Großzügigkeit, die auch mehrereren Personen Privatsphäre bietet, der ruhigen Lage und dem ausgewogenen Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Luxus und Perfektionismus darf man nicht erwarten, aber man kann sich sehr wohlfühlen. Als wir da waren, blieb die Endreinigung den Mietern überlassen; das hat sich eher nicht bewährt und ist inzwischen glücklicherweise geändert worden. Die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und entgegenkommend.
Uns hat es gefallen!

recommend for: seniors, holiday with children, cultural and sightseeing holiday, romantic holiday

Vicinity of the holiday home: Ein Auto ist unerlässlich, weil das ruhig gelegene Haus etwas außerhalb vom netten Städtchen Sao Bras de Alportel liegt. Damit ist man dann auch schnell an der Küste.
In der Umgebung befinden sich diverse Gaststätten unterschiedlicher Qualität und Preisklasse für alle, die - wie wir - nicht selber kochen wollen.

free time activities: Durch die zentrale Lage im Hinterland der Algarve können die Highlights der Algarve gut erreicht werden. Der großzügige Garten bietet sich aber auch dafür an, sich von anstrengenden Ausflügen zu erholen.

shopping facilities: Einige Supermärkte (und viele Schuhgeschäfte)sind in Alportel vorhanden. Der winzige "Tante-Emma-Laden" in fußläufig ereichbarer Nähe bietet eher nur eine Notversorgung.

Answer from Mrs. I. Rohde:

Die Sauberkeit ist schon seit Herbst 2009 nun in festen und zuverlässgen Händen meiner englischen Nachbarin. Sie kümmert sich um das Wohlbefinden meiner Gäste.

alles genauso schön, wie man es auf den Fotos sieht

Es war herrlich! Ein schönes Haus, echt liebevoll ausgestattet, passend zum alten Haus mit alten Möbeln. Man spürt überall, dass es nicht für Fremde eingerichtet wurde, sondern als eigenes Ferienhaus gedacht ist. Das Haus ist riesig, genug Platz für z.B. eine große Familie oder zwei Pärchen, sogar mit Kind. Die Küche hat einen großen Tisch, wo alle dran Platz finden können, aber es gibt ja auch noch die Terasse und den Garten und das Dach ...
Und die Vermieterin ist auch sehr freundlich. Ich kann das rundherum empfehlen.

recommend for: seniors, holiday with children, holiday without car, cultural and sightseeing holiday, romantic holiday

Vicinity of the holiday home: typische alte Wohngegend - eben alte portugiesische Bauernhäuser, aber auch einige Ferienhäuser, allerdings niemals vergleichbar mit einer typischen Ferienhaussiedlung.
das Meer kann man übrigens von der Dachterasse aus sehen

free time activities: man kann kleinere und größere Wanderungen oder Späziergänge machen, die Stadt ist auch zu Fuß gut zu erreichen, da gibt es ein Freibad, Kirchen, Shopping, Cafes, Markt, Bibliothek ...

shopping facilities: ein kleines Lädchen ist gleich in der Nähe des Hauses, man sollte aber ein paar Brocken Portugiesisch sprechen können. In der Stadt gibt es dann aber alles - eben die üblichen Supermärkte

Answer from Mrs. I. Rohde:

Leider wurde nicht auf das sehr nahe gelegene sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete Restaurant mit Wintergarten und Terrasse (port.-engl.Speisekarte) hingewiesen und ebenfalls nicht der in 10 minütigem Fußmarsch zu erreichende ganz moderne und gut ausgestattete Supermakt"Ping Doce" erwähnt.

Toller Ausblick und Ruhe pur!

Altes Bauernhaus mit dem dazugehörigen Charme. Großzügige Zimmer und schöne Aufteilung. 2 Badezimmer und eine Küche mit allem Zubehör. Alle Räume sind sehr sauber und gepflegt. Ich war schon mehrmals da und wer Ruhe sucht ist hier genau richtig. Mit dem Auto kann man von hier aus wunderbar die Umgebung erforschen.

recommend for: cultural and sightseeing holiday, holiday for singles, beach holiday

Vicinity of the holiday home: ruhiges Umfeld, ca. 12 km vom Meer entfernt. Schön am Hang gelegen

free time activities: Mit dem Auto erreicht man gut Strand und Sehenswürdigkeiten.

shopping facilities: Aus meiner Sicht sehr gut! Es gibt einen Supermarkt im Ort. Dinge des täglichen Lebens sind durch zahlreichere kleine Geschäfte abgedeckt. Fast überall wird wird auch englisch gesprochen.

Answer from Mrs. I. Rohde:

seit 2008 hat sich viel verändert; das Haus wurde neu gestrichen, neue Gartenmöbel sind angeschafft worden.Der Vorgarten hat einen Zaun bekommen, weil oft die frei lebenden Hunde meine Pflanzen zerdrückt haben.
In der Küche gibt es einen großen neuen Kühlschrank und eine große Mikrowelle mit Grill. Im gr.Schlafzimmer haben die Betten neue Matratzen, einen gr,flauschigen Teppich, sowie ein neues Babybett. Die Terrasse wurde durch neue rustikale, stilgerechte Bambusmöbel ausgestattet
.Für die Sauberkeit habe ich seit diesem Jahr eine Putzfrau für die Endreinigung.
Es gibt mehrere gute Supermärkte."Pingo Doce" z.B. ist zu Fuß ca.10 Min.entfernt.
Ich habe bewußt kein TV.
Geschirrspüler werde ich dieses Jahr einbauen lassen.

As a music lover, I have always been a choral singer since my earliest youth. In Bayreuth and here in Hamburg also in the Hamburg State Opera and the Singakademie, I have been able to sing with the most famous conductors and singers. Here in Hamburg, I often host young foreign students from all over the world for a few months who are doing their practical training here. So I am always together with other young people and learn a lot about their countries and customs.
