ALGARVE / HOME / WATCHLIST
In the small rural village of Bordeira in the wild Vicentine Coast Natural Park in the North West Algarve, lies Casa da Oliveira, a small abode sleeping two guests that is just a stone’s throw from some of the regions most spectacular beaches.
The house was fully rebuilt & renovated by the owner, a surfer & interior architect to preserve its core traditional characteristics; whitewashed walls & high wicker lined ceilings, irregular steps made of shale & hand-painted wooden materials which all work together to create a charming & cosy bolthole. Decorated with antiques found at local flea markets, along with natural textures & textiles including buttery fabrics & bed linen, natural solid wooden surfaces & wool rugs, this is a place that follows the traditional & rustic charm of its heritage for an authentic & memorable stay by the sea.
