Casa do Teatro - Child-friendly, separate holiday home in a private complex with a total of 4 separate holiday homes, suitable for couples and small families.
Casa do Theatro is a colorful and cozy house and well suited for 2 adults with a small child.
It is surrounded by shady bushes and trees and has an outdoor shower in the garden for refreshment.
It has a separate bedroom with air conditioning, a double bed with mosquito net, and a wardrobe. There is another double bed in the colorful living area with air conditioning as well as a sofa for relaxing.
All beds have mosquito protection and extra fans.
There is a separate washroom with WC and bidet and a separate blue-turquoise 'Moroccan shower room'.
Mosquito protection on the doors ensures air circulation in the house. A terrace with sun loungers adjoins the house, directly adjacent to which is the separate kitchen house in turquoise colors, along with a barbecue area. One of the dining tables is located under a pine tree.
Here you spend your life in nature, enjoy the peace and freedom, and listen to the frogs.
You are warmly welcome. Our estate, the: Quinta da Arte, as the name of our little paradise, is a country estate on 12 ha 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 with art objects, surrounded by private gardens.
The estate has a swimming pool, an open-air theater with 120 seats, a dance studio, a boules court, and walking paths across the grounds. Children are little adventurers here and adults love the peace, the nature, and our beautiful surroundings. Please also ask me about our two other houses:
Casa das Rochas – the Rock House, the bright Atelier – Studio, and our artistic Pavilhao da Arte, see my listings here at ferienhausmiete at our Quinta da Arte.
In the upper and most private part of our beautiful grounds lies the colorful and cozy Rock House: Casa das Rochas with its integrated rocky landscape (Rochas means rocks in Portuguese) and thus gave the house its name. Each house has its own private garden with terraces and sun loungers, completely embedded in nature.
In the middle part of the property stands the main house with an adjoining dance hall, which can be rented upon request.
In the lower part of the property is the spacious, all-white studio with integrated art objects and a wonderful view of the garden.
It is very suitable for 2 people, but also for 2 adults with two small children. In this house, guests especially appreciate the spaciousness, the brightness, and the sense of freedom and openness that is conveyed to them here.
- An uncomplicated, relaxed existence. -
Guests love the art objects with which they live and which inspire them.
Two large, openable studio doors with fluttering white cloths lead the guest over a wide outdoor staircase into the garden area with sun loungers and the grill and dining area. Gazing into nature and sitting on the so-called Portuguese steps in the evening is one of the beautiful evening experiences to be enjoyed here.
Another holiday home is the artistic "Pavilhao da Arte", suitable for
2-3 people or 2 adults with 2 small children.
With its beautiful bathroom done entirely in blue tones, it entices with its large shower-bathtub. The house impresses our guests with its layout and size, with the many color views, and above all with its wonderful, large outdoor bed with mosquito netting, in which entire families have already spent their summer nights and marveled at the night sky full of stars.
The kitchen, as in our other house, is housed in a separate kitchen building and is located in the back part of the garden right next to the dining and barbecue area.

Living in the Middle of Nature
Our estate Quinta da Arte is located in Sotavento, the southeast-facing coast of the Algarve, a coastal landscape with miles of sandy beaches and untouched bird and fish life. Here, small fishing boats cross the waterways of the tamed Atlantic.
Our property itself is nestled in a vast natural landscape, surrounded by plantations of carob, olive, almond, and orange trees.
Encircled by a slightly hilly range of hills, the approximately 8 km away sparkling blue ocean shimmers in the distance. The sea, 9 km away, with its vast beautiful beaches on the horizon.
Once our guests arrive, they are often amazed by the accommodations which appear even larger or prettier than what they had seen and expected from the photos.
The holiday homes are often booked by families or several families who are friends, who then spend their vacations side by side in the houses.
Separated yet still together. Ask me about a discount when renting multiple houses!
Casa do Teatro is surrounded by trees and shrubbery and is located in the middle of nature with an integrated outdoor shower for refreshing.
The colorful house has a separate bedroom with a double bed with mosquito protection and air conditioning.
Adjacent in the living area, there is another double bed, a sofa, and the entrances to the toilet room with a bidet, and the "Moroccan" shower room. Curtains at the windows and door fronts for the evenings as well as mosquito protection in front of the doors.
Right next to it is the kitchen house designed in blue tones with everything the guest needs for cooking.
Right next to it there is a barbecue area.
There are various dining areas inside and outside the kitchen as well as a sun terrace with sun loungers and shade cloths.
People who come to us love the originality of the accommodations and especially the 'ability to live outside'. They love to come to rest undisturbed, to distance themselves from their everyday life in order to gradually immerse themselves in the Portuguese rhythm of the people, the sea, the food, and life.
Children who visit us often get to know our large grounds through playing and exploring, as they can move freely and undisturbed.
And of course, the pool is one of your favorite places where you would probably love to spend the whole day... if it weren't for so many other beautiful things to discover. . . .
like the great, soft sea with all its shells and little water ripples, the fiddler crabs accompanying you on the way to the sea. . and much more.
Also read our many great reviews on platforms like fewo or TripAdvisor or my website, because I have only been advertising here for a few weeks, but I have already asked former guests for a review. The nearest small Portuguese village (2.5 km) is called Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo, a lively place with a variety of nationalities, a café along with a bakery, a small supermarket, and restaurants. From our location, you can quickly reach the sea with its vast, amazing beaches, the next wonderful markets such as in Olhao or Loule with their old alleys and historic buildings, galleries, museums, and much more. I will gladly tell you about the insider tips on-site, explain the way to our mountain pub at Donna Maria's or to Joao, who serves the best fish in town.
Peace, nature, inspiration, freedom.
And if you have any questions or would like to make a request, I am here for you!

Stay where nature meets art in a unique house fully available to guests.
We stayed, my children and I, at Quinta da Arte for 1 week last June.
It was my 4th stay in this magical place and I am returning again for 2 weeks in September.
It is at Pavilhao da Arte and Casa de Teatro that we have stayed during our visits, either as a family or as a couple, over the past 10 years.
The other 2 accommodations are also presented in a pleasant way.
The Quinta is located on a large property in nature and has a nice shared pool. The site is inhabited by the owners and offers 4 fully private rental accommodations.
The photos of the site are representative and the equipment is of high quality.
The view of the sea, the beaches 15 minutes away, and the beautiful city of Tavira 15 minutes by car make it an asset.
The coast is unique: opposite Tavira and Faro, the Ria Formosa, consisting of a preserved natural reserve as well as multiple fine sandy beaches easily accessible by boat or small train. You arrive by plane in Faro, where a rental car allows you to visit the east of the Algarve freely.
The Quinta is located 1 hour by car from the airport.
A 1-week stay allows you to visit the essentials of the region.
However, a 2-week stay allows you to explore it much more at your own pace...
We recommend this place where the warm and discreet welcome of the owners makes each stay unique and unforgettable.

Answer from Mrs. H. Wachsmann:
Bon, si en tant que propriétaire, je n'ai pas la chair de poule en lisant ces lignes, alors je ne sais vraiment pas...
Et les lecteurs de ces lignes vont sûrement se dire : « Ah oui, ce sont des amis et ils se sont mis d'accord pour rédiger le texte ainsi. »
Eh bien, on pourrait le penser, n'est-ce pas ?
Mais non, nos hôtes sont des personnes qui nous ont découverts, qui accordent de l’importance à la nature, au calme, à la tranquillité, à la convivialité et à des vacances sans souci.
Je pense simplement que grâce à notre lieu créatif, unique, merveilleusement « imparfait et donc parfait » – une expression trouvée d’ailleurs par une de nos hôtes –, notre endroit vaut la peine d’être vécu, et c’est pour cela que les gens reviennent et nous envoient aussi leurs amis. Et toi, chère hôte, je vais même te revoir deux fois cette année, et nous nous réjouissons beaucoup de ces retrouvailles. Salutations à ta famille
Tout notre amour à la Belgique et « ate logo » !

Wonderful accommodation in an authentic and intact nature
We had a wonderful time at Casa de Teatro and can wholeheartedly recommend this special accommodation.
Heidi and Johannes are exceptionally warm, attentive, and helpful hosts. From the very first moment, we felt welcome and like we were among friends. With their hospitality, their many valuable tips, and their enthusiasm for the region, they made our stay something truly special. The Quinta de Arte is a place of peace and relaxation, nestled in a beautiful, nearly untouched natural landscape. Just outside the main season, the Algarve reveals its own unique charm here. Instead of crowded beaches, one experiences impressive silence, clear air, and a fascinating wildlife.
For nature lovers and bird watchers, this place is a true paradise. Around the Quinta, numerous bird species can be observed, and the original landscape with its olive, almond, and carob trees invites long walks. We particularly liked that the olive oil comes directly from the olive trees of the adjacent nature reserve – it doesn't get more authentic and local than that.
The Casa do Teatro itself is tastefully furnished, very well maintained, and offers everything needed for a relaxing stay. Whoever wants to experience the original Algarve with its intact nature and is looking for comfortable accommodation with exceptionally warm hosts is exactly right here.
We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back.

What does vacation mean for oneself?
"And fresh food, new blood / I suck from the free world" (Goethe)
As an opening quote, perhaps it is close to what has happened to me in this place!
A magical little spot near Tavira, easily accessible, a car is recommended from Faro!
At the same time, one later immerses oneself in a picture book of landscape and art with a quaint little house and the warm welcome from Heidi Wachsmuth and Maxi the farm dog! Whoever wants to break free from the stressful everyday life in nature, under perfectly clean conditions and a mix of Portuguese landscape and architectural lightness, is exactly right here!
One must enjoy this piece of earth, let it take effect, feel the energy, the slightly warm Portuguese wind on the skin, and simply switch off... In the vicinity, easily accessible by car, there is everything one needs, from nearby markets to a large supermarket, as well as small picturesque coastal towns to stop by, everything is available!
The nature, from lagoons to waterfalls and great beaches, should also receive attention and not be overlooked!
At the same time, with its residence in the mountains, one has a retreat where one can completely forget everything around them... I wholeheartedly recommend the Quinta da Art and simply say thank you for everything; one could write so much more!
Christian
PS: See you soon, Heidi!!!

Happy stay at the Casa de Teatro, Quinta de Arte.
This first week of September 25, my partner and I stayed at Quinta de Arte.
It was my 4th stay there, always in the casa de Teatro!
Each stay is unique in this particular and endearing place...
Heidi and Johannes are attentive hosts, both discreet and listening.
The landscape is unique, by car the sea and the city of Tavira are accessible in 15 minutes. The Algarve region, towns and villages, its beaches and cultural points of interest are waiting to be discovered.
The Portuguese have welcomed us very well.
On site, access to the pool is pleasant.
We will return with shared pleasure!

Answer from Mrs. H. Wachsmann:
Chère Lise,
Merci beaucoup pour ton adorable message sur ta semaine passée dans notre petit paradis près de Tavira et de la mer.
Oui, toi et ta famille nous connaissez depuis quelques années déjà et tu aimes revenir chez nous parce que tu te sens bien à la Casa do Teatro et dans notre environnement.
En tant qu'hôtesse, le plus beau compliment que l'on puisse me faire est que nos hôtes aiment revenir.
Et je suis sûre que je te reverrai bientôt, toi et ton ami.
Je vous embrasse tous les deux très fort !

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.
