Overview
Description
"Cova do Coração" (Cave of the Heart) is a deliciously romantic 4 bedroom whitewashed farmhouse which nestles among the serene hills of Portugal’s Eastern Algarve close to the charming seaside towns of Tavira and Olhao and less than 20 minutes to your nearest sandy beach. . Framed by extensive gardens with fruits and tropical grasses, laze away your time either in the hammock on the terrace or by the large private pool with pretty sun loungers….. in the evening, you can cook up a storm with our outdoor kitchen or handy BBQ and dine in the pergola under cloudless skies. .Hire our chef for a treat or special occasion! This is a brand new listing and so let us spoil you!Inside, discover high beamed ceilings, spacious rooms and a curated collection of fine furniture. Each of the 4 double bedrooms (2 en-suite and all with zip and link beds) have original tiled floors handmade by a local artisan, and colourful hand printed throws. The 3 pretty bathrooms have been designed in harmony with their surroundings. - organic limewash on the walls and original tiled floors. Egyptian cotton bedding and spoiling toiletries are there for your comfort. Whilst staying with us you can enjoy a yoga class on the shala or book a spoiling massage.. There is a Jacuzzi but only for winter stays and at an additional cost.
With its unspoiled golden beaches, charming fishing villages, and rolling hillsides dotted with almond and olive trees, you can immerse yourself in authentic local life, savouring fresh seafood in traditional restaurants, exploring historic towns like Tavira (on the doorstop) or discovering hidden coves. Take a trip into Loule for the Saturday market (best to get there early) and you can take your pick of the freshest fish and seafood, artisan gins and excellent Portuguese wine – try the slightly fizzy Vinho Verde which is refreshing in the heat. Our local town of St Catarina is only 7 minutes away with its choice of restaurants. Watch the artisans at work still making traditional tiles by hand. For a true Robinson Crusoe experience, take the little ferry from Fusetta across to one of islands and discover almost empty beaches….Take home some organic honey thanks to one of the neighbouring farmers who keeps bees!
The Eastern Algarve is the perfect backdrop to your holiday with its deep sense of serenity, rich history and culture.

This was a lovely place to stay in Portugal!
By Flora Frith on 31-Mar-2026This was a lovely place to stay in Portugal. The location is peaceful and surrounded by beautiful scenery, making it a great place to relax and unwind. One of the highlights was the night sky — the stars there were amazing. The pool area was also especially beautiful with a great view. Inside, the house feels warm and welcoming and has been redone with lots of lovely touches.
We felt like we were in a movie!
By Rola Kamaleddine on 28-Apr-2026Incredible stay for our group getaway. The property was idealistic, felt like it was out of a movie. Gorgeous house and the property grounds have everything you need. Yoga deck for watching sunrise / sunset, bbq, various seating areas, pool. Giselle was super lovely
We loved Cova!

Giselle's Place is so Relaxing!
By Vilda Scannell on 15-Jun-2026Giselle’s place is very special. The farmhouse and surrounding mountains are beautiful. It is so relaxing and the house has been designed really well. Aesthetically it’s gorgeous but it also works so well as a space - there are so many different outdoor areas to sit and relax in. The entire place is very conducive to rest and nourishment! We particularly loved the pool and yoga platform - Giselle even put me in touch with a local yoga teacher who came to teach us a few classes. Highly recommend and I would love to go back.

A Very Original and Beautiful House
By Ollympa Wereko-Brobby on 05-Aug-2026Very original and beautiful house. Great combination of rustic charm and modern appliances. A magnificent garden with many separate areas to enjoy tranquility alone or mix in a big group. Easy drive into Olhao and to the beach. Great swimming pool area.
