Description of the house
Customary country house Vizinho do Murtais has been refurbished into a beautiful family summer house. The house is set on a hill with impressive view of the fields and the sea. The 5,000 m2 plot of land is a subtropical oasis with many lemon and orange trees, bougainvillea and fig palms providing much shade. Any ripe fruits are here to be picked and eaten! The furnishing of this holiday house in Portuguese style is practical and without frills.
Traditional building materials such as floor tiles from nearby Santa Catarina and reed ceilings, have created a rural ambience. On the ground floor are the large living/dining room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. On the first floor is the 3rd bedroom and bathroom.
Vizinho do Murtais has various terraces. In front of the house is the lovely sun terrace with swimming pool. Next to the swimming pool is the barbecue with a dining area under a shady roof; a lovely place to barbecue a fish on an afternoon or evening.
Surroundings of Vizinho do Murtais
Three kilometres from the house is the fishing village Fuseta with the lagoon and the sea. Depending on the tides, you can walk on the lagoon or swim in its streams. Another option is to cross over to the island in front of the coast with its miles long beach. From the port in Fuseta, the ferry can take you there within a few minutes. On the long beach you?ll always find a place for yourself! Fuseta also has a small and cosy beach which is perfect for children.
There are plenty of shops and various nice restaurants/eateries. To go shopping in the small market hall is a real experience! There?s a daily supply of fresh sea food, meat and vegetables.
Tavira and Olhão (10 km) are great coastal towns and also have ferries to take you to the marvellous islands in front of the coast. Or explore the many good (fish) restaurants at the quays. The supermarkets and market halls in Tavira and Olhão have plenty to offer. The ancient centre of Tavira is convivial with its many bars and restaurants.
