Company Quinta da Arte Mrs. H. Wachsmann
Guest Favorite
The estate, Quinta da Arte, is a country residence on 12 hectares of land with four separate, privately situated, individual holiday houses, each of which is unique and located in the midst of a naturally grown park.
The estate has a swimming pool, an open-air theater with 120 seats, a boules court, and walking paths where curious explorers encounter sculptures and art objects. Our artistic, colorful, and unconventional holiday home, the PAVILHAO DA ARTE, with a separate bedroom and large double bed and mosquito net as well as air conditioning, also has a large outdoor bed with mosquito net. Very well suited for couples who like individuality. Suitable for 2-3 adults and for 2 adults with 1 child. A special holiday home with a beautiful bathroom, done entirely in blue tones and featuring a large, beautifully tiled shower-bathtub.
Directly adjacent to the bathroom is the bedroom with air conditioning and a double bed.
The house impresses with its layout and size, the many color views and choice of materials, as well as the integrated art objects. And it is especially enticing with its great, large outdoor bed with mosquito netting, in which entire families have already spent their summer nights marveling at the starry night sky.
The large living area has integrated art objects, a sofa landscape with desk and chair, as well as, on request, two additional sleeping options under a mosquito net with fans. The separate and fully equipped kitchen is located here in a separate kitchen house at the rear part of the garden, right next to the covered dining and barbecue area and an adjoining outdoor shower.
Living in the midst of nature, that’s what our guests say about their vacation days with us.
Undisturbed existence in a great environment and in the midst of nature, very close to the wonderful sea with its wide beaches. Once they arrive here, our guests are often amazed that the accommodations appear even larger or more beautiful than they had already seen and expected from the photos.
Our 4 separately located holiday homes are also gladly booked by families who are friends, who then spend their holidays living next to each other in the houses. Please ask me and also visit our website:
The people who come to us love the originality of the accommodations and above all to experience nature and to live with it.
They love being able to relax undisturbed, to distance themselves from their everyday life in order to gradually immerse themselves in the Portuguese rhythm of life of the people, the sea, the food, and living. The four holiday homes have everything you need and each house shows the guest its very own special character.
Children who come to visit us get to know our entire grounds while playing and exploring, as they can move about freely and undisturbed, and of course the pool is one of their favorite places where they would probably like to spend the whole day, if there weren’t so many other wonderful things to discover. . . . .
Read our many reviews on this. a, also with fewo please.
Peace, nature, inspiration, freedom.
From the ideas of an artist and his creative partner, four individual, artistically designed holiday units were created, each with its own privacy and unique character. The mild climate and the light as inspiration, the desire to bring people closer to nature and the aforementioned, led to the design of buildings made of glass and iron or, for example, shade roofs made of colored acrylic panels. Each house has its own special features, please also ask me about our Casa das Rochas, the Atelier-Studio, and the Casa do Teatro—all 4 houses with great reviews are also listed on fewo and soon here as well.

Quinta da Arte is located in the Sotavento, the south-east facing Algarve coast, a coastal landscape with miles of sandy beaches and intact bird and fish life. Here, fishing boats cross the waterways of the tamed Atlantic Ocean. The property itself is set in a vast natural landscape nestled among carob-olive-almond and orange tree plantations. Surrounded by a gently rolling mountain fringe, the sea glistens on the horizon some 8 km away in the distance. The pearl of the Algarve, the Roman-Arab Renaissance town of Tavira, located at the mouth of the 'Ria do Gilao' is only 10 km away.

additional information:
Our property is only 9km away from the most beautiful sights or the clean sea with its wide, great beaches.
The kilometres of sandy beaches in the Eastern Algarve are well worth seeing, protected by the beautiful lagoons and mud flats with various game and water birds, where even flamingos are home to the nature reserve of the "Ria Formosa".
Visit the still existing, small fishing villages and their lively goings-on.
Lagoon landscapes which enchant and which the guest can overcome with small fishing boats, on foot or with cosy ferries to get to the sea. Nice: leisurely walk over nicely laid out paths to the sea.
Discoveries:
There is an old castle and lots of nature to explore in and around Castro Marim or more than 35 churches in the charming and particularly worth seeing 150 year old Renaissance town of Tavira, the pearl of the Algarve.
Faro is also worth seeing, with its old, beautiful city centre, a convent and a bone church of the Franciscans as well as a well-kept shopping street where it is nice to stroll and visit the cafes. The most Arab city by the sea, Olhao has not only its beautiful large market halls with fresh goods, but also old streets and even older small shops.
Cacela Velha, new city, old city and the Ria da Formosa in front of the door and extensive golf courses. St. Lucia, formerly a stronghold of the squid fishing, is now a popular destination to eat a variety of dishes cooked from it or to get to the sea by boat. And there would be Fuzeta: bars, restaurants, fishing boats ...... and much more that I would be happy to tell you about.
You are very welcome.
Other beautiful travel destinations .....: Spain is very close to us and can be reached very quickly. Across the border river, the Guardiana, a small ferry goes from Vila Real St. Antonio and takes you to Andalusia, where the beautiful world of starters, Spanish tapas, begins. The world of the Spaniards, with its many legends tell of horses and bullfights, the shimmering heat, the fights between the Portuguese and Spaniards long ago and the dawn of modern times has long since found its way into the white villages of the municipality. Visit
El Roccio, a pilgrimage site where there was once a brave churchman who saved many of the area's gypsies from the persecution of the fascists in his church. Visit the adjacent 'Donana' nature reserve, with rare birds and lynx, its large pine forests and continue to Seville, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. You drive only 1 hour 50 m by car from our Quinta to Seville. Welcome !!

An extraordinary stay - we love it!
We had the great luck to spend our perfect summer vacation at Quinta da Arte. We spent 1 week each in "Casa das Rochas" and "Pavilhao da Arte." The total of 4 houses on the generously laid-out property all impress with their individuality and cannot be compared with one another. The houses are optimally equipped with everything needed and ensure a maximum level of privacy. Anyone who, like us, seeks the special and feels comfortable in a creative environment will love it at Quinta da Arte. This is primarily due to Heidi's uncomplicated, warm, and hospitable demeanor. The contact before, during, and after the stay left nothing to be desired: she always offered us good tips in a subtle manner.
We wholeheartedly recommend the stay! Our hearts are still so full, we don't know how to convey our positive experiences. Unfortunately, the characters in the review are limited; you will soon find our more detailed review on Google.
Answer from Mrs. H. Wachsmann:
liebe Gaeste,
ich freue mich wirklich sehr ueber Eure so herzlichen Worte ueber Euren Aufenthalt auf unserer Quinta da Arte, ein individueller,ruhiger in Mitten der Natuer gelgenem Anwesen.
Schon waehrend unserer Unterhaltung im Vorfeld wurde ganz klar, das Ihr gerne an besonderen Orten Ferien macht und Ihr deshalb auch unsere Haeuser attraktiv fandet.
Ihr seid angekommn und habt Euch sofort wohl gefuehlt.
Unternehmungslustig hat Ihr unser schoenes Umfeld erkundet die vielen tollen Straende, das saubere Meer das zum baden einlud und die zauberhafte Lagunenlandschaft die gerade auch in der Abendstimmung zum traeumen einlaed.
Und die portugiesiche Kueche wurde neugierig erkundet von Euch.
Ihr seid ein sehr simpathisches Paar und es ist mir uns eine Freude Euch kennen gelernt zu haben.
Wie sagtet Ihr zum Abschied: wir sehen uns sicher wieder!
Willkommen Ihr zwei und vor allem aber bleibt gesund !!

A magical holiday experience
My family (myself, husband and 3yr old) stayed at the Quinta da Arte and everything exceeded our expectations. Our holiday was the most relaxed we have ever been and the surroundings are so inspiring - a truly magical experience. We loved our house and the outdoor spaces were perfect for having family meals and time together. The pool was great and provided so much fun for us all, as a family. The accommodation is in the most amazing location and we loved the peace and quiet - we were lucky to shooting stars at night! It is also a short drive to some great towns/beaches. Heidi is a wonderful host, we felt at home the moment we arrived and had everything needed. Heidi spent time giving us great recommendations and even booked us massages. We will definitely return to this unique and special place.

Answer from Mrs. H. Wachsmann:
Heh heh simpatic famaly from England,such nice words you have found here for your holiday stay in our little paradise.
It was such a pleasure to meet you at our place, to hear you all laughing while playing in the pool together and coming happy after dining out on one of the suggested restaurants nearby.
You have discovered the nice and rich markets in Olhao or in Tavira or was visiting the beautiful sea with it large beaches.
You really dived into your holidays and were all happy in the colourful art house the Pavilhao da Arte.
When we met you looked content and after one day I could see you already started to be relaxed.
Please make your promise to come true and visit us again.
You are very welcome.
The very best for you and take care.

A gem off the beaten path of mass tourism.
A holiday accommodation full of creativity and exceptional design. A real gem among the thousands of holiday options. The outdoor kitchen, simply brilliant. But the outdoor bed was a real highlight. Before falling asleep, you could listen to the sounds of frogs, crickets, and birds. As soon as you opened your eyes early in the morning, the trees could be admired in the warm light of the rising sun through the gossamer net. Then followed the almost daily walk through the huge estate with its many hidden surprises. Heidi was very caring and provided us with a lot of background information, from the artistic beginnings over 30 years ago to the present day with its challenges. Due to the very few light sources in this region, you can also wonderfully observe the starry sky at night. We were very much on the road with our rental car. However, it is recommended to book a longer stay in order not to rush through the vacation for fear of missing a sight in the Algarve, but to have more time on site and enjoy the tranquility of the property.

Had a great time
The photos correspond to the real appearance. There is a lot of peace, privacy, and space. But there are many nice restaurants and beautiful villages nearby.
Heidi is a fantastic hostess. She has good tips, and if there was something, she took care of it immediately. We will definitely come back.
Answer from Mrs. H. Wachsmann:

Danke fuer Euren Besuch und ich freue mich auf ein Wiedersehen!
I have been living in this beautiful place in the eastern Algarve for over 30 years now, which my husband, a versatile artist, has created with a lot of passion and creativity The almond blossom in spring, the beautiful sea on the doorstep in summer, hiking in autumn. Shopping takes place in the lively, diverse nearby markets, for example in Tavira and Olhao, and in autumn I enjoy the peace and quiet that returns to the Algarve, the soft light that settles over the lagoon and everything seems to stand still for a moment. And not forgetting the friendly, unobtrusive and very helpful Portuguese people. It is fortunate that I have such friendly guests and friends who come to visit us at our Quinta da Arte to enjoy the nature, the peace, the creativity and the freedom. A piece of peace, simplicity and joy. I look forward to welcoming you and am open to all your questions.
