We are a company dedicated to short-term local accommodation and for those looking for slightly longer stays. Our goal is to make you feel like you are at home! We work with rigor and passion!

The Casas de Taipa project resulted from the recovery and expansion of a century-old family house, located on a rustic land close to the sea. The project combined the use of technology and traditional materials - construction in “taipa”, interior reed ceilings, coverings with handmade tiles and hydraulic mosaics, whitewashing - with modern solutions that ensure the required comfort - underfloor heating (for heating and cooling), fiber wifi connection, well equipped kitchens. Sustainability is also a concern: rainwater collected on the roof and in cisterns (an old and a new one) is reused in toilets flushing and irrigation, the water is heated through solar panels and two fireplaces contribute to the heating. We minimize the use of disposable plastic containers. On the 5 hectares of land there are fig trees (and guests can, in the summer, pick and consume figs), carob trees, almond trees and cork oaks. Each house has a tank (3x3 m) with permanent renewed and treated water and its own terrace. There are barbecue facilities. We don't have a TV, but there is wifi, a mini Bluetooth sound system, board and card games and books.

Casas de Taipa are close to some of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal - Marinha, Albandeira, Benagil -and the route of the Sete Vales Suspensos. It's easy to reach the beaches by car or bicycle. By day you can see the sea and by night, besides the starry sky, the light from the Alfanzina lighthouse (visitable). Lagoa, 5 km away, has a market where you can buy great fruits, vegetables and fresh fish. Estômbar is a small traditional village that extends over a hillside - where the train line that goes from Lagos to Vila Real de Santo António, passing through Faro, Olhão and Tavira is located - taking this train is another way to visit Algarve. We are still very close to: Carvoeiro, an old fishing village, Ferragudo and its waterfront over the Arade estuary and, on the other side of the river, the city of Portimão. The interior of Algarve still has a lot to offer: Silves (Castle, Cathedral, Municipal Archeology Museum built around a medieval Arab cistern), Monchique (thermal baths), Alte and Querença. The coast of Sagres, with its fortress, and Cabo de São Vicente, with its lighthouse, are located on one of the most spectacular coast, with small bays and beaches to be discovered.
