If you’re craving a charming escape on the Algarve’s golden coast, then look no further than Casa Isobel. Designed in a classic Portuguese style, we’re in awe of the traditional red terracotta tiles, the whitewashed exterior façade, and the curved arches and turrets. Tucked away in a serene rural suburb away from the crowds, the caramel-coloured sands of Centeanes Beach are just a ten-minute walk away. Delve into a spread of restaurants, cafes, and bars, or hop in a car to Gale and Albufeira for a livelier evening.

An enchanting mix of old and new, the ground floor is a lovely ensemble of contemporary décor, curved archways, and a whitewashed colour scheme. With a cosy living room encircling a traditional stone fireplace, the space feels homely and inviting. The dining area has a special enclosed atrium leading off it, featuring a beautiful Portuguese tiled bench and table. The kitchen area is pristine white and equipped with all the modern appliances you’ll need to cook up a feast. There are two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom, with a final master bedroom that opens out to a balcony Рthe ideal place to unwind with a morning coffee.

Casa Isobel is a showstopper when it comes to its outdoor living, with a sun-drenched terrace overlooking the Areias dos Moinhos landscape. The tempting waters of the private pool add to the relaxed setting, lined with plush sun loungers for afternoons basking in the Algarve sunshine. If dinner while watching the sunset sounds like your kind of evening, there’s an alfresco dining area and a built-in barbecue at your disposal. For a closer look at the awe-inspiring views, head to the roof terrace for unbeatable panoramas over the dazzling seascape.
