Leave ReviewBeautiful house
By L&R Greening on 06-May-2025Beautiful, stylish, spacious, immaculate and comfortable house in the hills, with wonderful outside spaces to spend time in. Quality everything. Tranquil and private, nature all around, we loved breakfast on the terrace, relaxing by the pool, walking the many roads and paths in the hills and getting out and about exploring the local towns, villages and coast. Thanks so much Andrea, we simply loved our stay.
Two weeks away from everything
By Marceline Beuret on 21-Mar-2025We spent two wonderful weeks at the Ferradura house. Although the weather was mixed, it wasn't a problem inside. The underfloor heating and the double-sided fireplace in the living room made us forget the cold. We really enjoyed the opportunity to grill and eat outside. The adjoining garden with its many plants, as well as the natural pond, were the highlights for us. Watching the frogs and turtles was always entertaining, as was the frog concert. The drive to the house is no problem and definitely allows you to see a lot of the local nature. Andrea was very attentive from afar and was always available to answer questions. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us. We would love to come back. See you then.
A dream of a stay!
By Anne Morrison on 27-Jan-2025We were very lucky to spend almost a month at Casa Ferradura, sharing the space with different family members over that time. Every single one of us had the kind of holiday we will remember and revisit in dreams. A beautiful house in a lovely location, surrounded by wildlife, tranquility and the beauty of a Portuguese spring. Lots to explore nearby, perfect for birdwatchers and walkers, swimmers, and wildflower enthusiasts(perfect for all of us!). The house is comfortable and relaxing and the garden just lovely, we had everything we needed. We very much hope to return! Thank you for the opportunity to share it Andrea❤️
Beautiful villa in stunning location
By Sam & Ronan on 23-Oct-2024We had the most amazing stay at Casa Ferradura. It is tranquil and beautiful both inside and outside. We loved the spacious open plan living area, but the outside was even more inviting. There are colourful plants and trees wherever you look as well as comfortable sun loungers and inviting places to sit and eat. This is a very special place and we hope to return.
un petit paradis en Algarve
By Arnaud G. on 17-Aug-2024Nombreuses sont les joies de ce lieu. Le ciel bleu, les monts, le silence, le vent qui souffle, le bruit de la nature, la lumière du matin dans la maison, que sais-je encore. En tous les cas, c'est un lieu où le cœur de l'homme plonge dans le paradis ou comme l'a dit Sénèque (Amis de la culture, bonjour !! :-)), où on parvient à la tranquillité de l'âme.
Beautiful Peaceful retreat!
By Catherine Gizzi on 21-Jun-2024Thanks to Andrea and family for sharing this stylish, immaculate property. The gardens and views are breathtaking. With lots of hideaways for rest and relaxation. Really recommend this lovely sympathetic farm house conversion. Appliances all beautiful and easy to use. Plenty of hot water and lovely bathrooms. Everything you could want for a complete rest!
