Casa Estrelita
TAVIRA / GUESTHOUSE / WATCHLIST
In the East Algarve, a stone’s throw from the fishing town of Tavira & the regions vast island beaches, Casa Estrelita hides away as a small & pretty Quinta-come-guesthouse; a quiet two-bedroom retreat renovated with traditional Portuguese restorative character.
Surrounding the property, winding pathways & a courtyard leads to a shared turquoise swimming pool bathed in dappled sunlight. The bedrooms surround it, & are effortlessly chic, while the common areas lend themselves to conviviality. Here in the countryside, at the heart of a field of lemon & olive trees, is a friendly & relaxed spirit, where Casa Estrelita allows us to be romanced by the slowness of life that the Southernmost region of Portugal is so famous for.
