Overview
Description
Welcome to our gorgeous home in the Eastern Algarve hills above Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo in the old village of Malhada do Judeu. We'd like to invite you to rent our holiday villa, available as either a 2 or 3 bedroom unit with all bedrooms being ensuite. We have a 8mx4m pool heated to 28c all year round. It benefits from daylong sunlight exposure and has a wraparound large outdoor decking platform with loads of space for sunbeds, rattan loungers , umbrellas and everything you'd expect really. Even a bar area! Good wifi is available throughout the property for when you need it but why not take the opportunity to unplug and do a digital detox!Our home is a traditional Portuguese house, split into 2 adjoining halves. South facing, we enjoy great sun all day long with the added benefit of stunning sunrises and sunsets with our easterly and westerly aspects. The rental half has 3 ensuite bedrooms and sleeps six comfortably, plus a sofa bed in the lounge. We live in the other half with our three friendly dogs.
It has a fully equipped kitchen, lounge and dining area with multiple outdoor patios. The well established garden has a multitude of trees such as clementine, oranges, figs, almonds, olives and carobs. A purpose built boules area nestles next door to the lazy hammock slung between 2 trees. A barbecue is available for those perfect al fresco meals. At night the loudest thing you might hear is an owl.
The kitchen has an oven, electric hob, 2 fridge/freezers and washing machine. If you want the hustle and bustle of Albufeira might we suggest we are not for you, if you want to enjoy recharge time in a little slice of paradise we think we can help. We have Starlink wifi and multiple access points in the house and decking areas for reliable internet connectivity, this also links to the TV system which offers full HD TV channels from multiple European countries. Portable air conditioning units are available on request plus a good selection of fans for those summer months.
Why not take advantage of our onsite chef for the arrival meal, a special occasion or romantic meal. If you don't fancy the drive out why not chat to Suse and organise your own menu? We can also organise massage appointments in the comfort of our home here at Casa Kamina with a mobile sports massage lady Justine at €60 for an hour's massage . These need to be pre-booked to guarantee availability. If you'd like the opportunity to ride horses whilst here we recommend Antonio at Quinta Alivisquer near Cabanas. With horses suitable for beginners through to more experienced riders you have the option of 1-2 hours starting at just €25 per hour including chaps and a riding hat. Beach rides available till From November till 15th May . Pre-booking again advised, which we can arrange for you.
We are surrounded by miles of rolling hills offering endless opportunities for walking and cycling. Our guarantee is that the beauty of the Serra do Caldeirão will work it's magic. You’ll love the peace and tranquillity, the opportunity to take time out to recharge and refresh. Situated just 40 minutes from Faro airport and 10 minutes above Santa Catarina village where you will find a compact supermarket, bakers, restaurants, bar and a bank.
You’ll need a car to maximise your stay. Our nearest restaurant is 3 km away, a delightful traditional Portuguese mountain specialty where you can enjoy substantial and wholesome food. Santa Catarina offers several choices of restaurants but the larger towns of Tavira, Sao Bras and Olhao are all within 25 minutes drive as are the wonderful beaches and islands of the Ria Formosa. This stunning coastline really is the gem in the crown of the Eastern Algarve. We can recommend lots of very good restaurants in the surrounding areas.
Well behaved pets are welcome subject to prior approval. We have 3 dogs of our own and if you have any concerns regarding ours, all we can suggest is please read the reviews. We live in the other half of the villa- guests have priority for the pool area, patio and garden areas - we do our utmost to respect that you are on holiday whereas we can enjoy it all year round.
Our home is available to rent all year round. For prices, availability and terms and conditions please do get in touch

By Ann and Ralph on 30-Oct-2025What a truly wonderful location and a beautiful house! Peter and Suse are such fabulous hosts , we have had a brilliant time on the mountain and look forward to a return visit, hopefully in the new year. Ann and the three boys had a wonderful time and wanted to stay longer. Those three dogs are so lovely, I could take them all home! Thank you for a lovely stay, such a perfect home and extending your hospitality. Ralph Mora

By Mark, Yvonne, Ray and Jane on 19-Oct-2025Been a great week, right from the start, the welcome meal was excellent. Accommodation great, had everything we needed. The pool area and loungers allowed us to totally relax. Suse and Peter were so helpful and accommodating. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with a fantastic meal made by Suse. As good as any a la carte restaurant!! We love going to Madeira cafe and bakery, a must every time we visit. We also went to Maria's down the hill, Cantinho da Serraand to Taberna Barriga for our last night. Went to salt baths on Suse recommendation and the tour which was fascinating. Sister in law went horseriding and absolutely loved walking the horse through the orchards- another definite recommendation. Will definitely look to return soon. Not much I can add to this other than a huge thanks to Suse and Peter for a fantastic holiday home, location and ensuring we had everything and more. Special thanks to Suse for taking me horse riding- would thoroughly recommend. We will be back smiley face! Mark, Yvonne, Ray and Jane xx
Lovely, relaxing place to stay
By Kerina, Kathryn & Becky on 30-Sep-2025Fab stay at Casa Kamina! Lovely accommodation equipped well with everything you need for your holiday. The surroundings are very relaxing and peaceful and it is great to chill out on the terrace or by the pool. Suse and Peter were great hosts, offered trip suggestions and information on the local area. We would recommend trying one of Suse’s home cooked meals which she kindly prepared for us later when we were delayed upon arrival. The ‘resident’ dogs are very sweet natured, loved them. Car necessary if you do want to take day trips but we found driving easy and plenty of things to do not far from the villa. Highly recommended and we would definitely return!

By Lisa, Christine and Marion on 18-Sep-2025Lovely relaxing holiday in beautiful scenery. Appreciated the respect of privacy as we just chilled for 10 days. Had a lovely drink with Suse and Peter the night before we left, both very accommodating. Friendly dogs. Lisa, Christine and Marion xxx
Casa Kamina 26-8 to 2-9-25
By Esther and Ollie on 02-Sep-2025We've had a wonderful week at Casa Kamina. The location is perfect! A great base for exploring the East Algarve and tranquility and beautiful landscapes when relaxing at "home". With comfy beds and all the equipment to make your holiday care free. No need to bring your own potato peeler here. Great pool, great hosts, great all round really. The whole family have enjoyed it and didn't want to leave. Esther, Ollie, Sheldon and Fletcher.
