Ferienhaus Casa Linear in Algarve, Palmeiral / PT – Portugal

Holiday home Casa Linear

A garden of Medi­ter­ranean trees and flowering shrubs in a small village in the hin­terland of the Algarve: in the middle of it all is Casa Linear — a farm­house reno­vated with a great deal of sense and flair, looking out over the sea that sparkles in the distance. A straight­forward homage to sim­plicity.

Halfway between the white sandy beaches and the rolling coun­tryside of the Serra do Cald­eirão, the hidden Casa Linear is a good base from which to dis­cover the south of Por­tugal. Located at the end of a narrow road, the white­washed holiday home opens out into a para­di­siacal garden of olive, citrus, fig and almond trees, jasmine and lavender. The building with its mono­pitch roof, thick walls, wooden ceiling and ter­ra­cotta tiles is typical of the houses in the region. The deli­berately inte­grated stone-wax basins in the kitchen and bathroom also still tell of their former use. After the reno­vation, the result is an atmo­spheric com­bi­nation of authen­ticity and modern purism.

The clearly laid out yet spa­cious holiday home offers room for four people and a small child. The basic structure has been retained, except for a metal structure under the high wooden roof truss, which is accessed via an open, bricked staircase and on which the living room is located. The eat-in kitchen with a large dining area and fire­place is an inviting place for con­vivial dinners. Just like the covered terrace with a wide view over the coun­tryside to the sea. Both bed­rooms have their own en suite bathroom and are sepa­rately located, one of them with direct access to the garden with its num­erous shady spots and an outdoor shower. Accom­panied by the song of birds and cicadas during the day and the endless starry sky at night.

Wir waren über Syl­vester im Haus und haben unseren Auf­enthalt in volllen Zügen genossen. Das Haus wird schnell zu einem “zuhause”, auf das man sich nach Aus­flügen abends regel­recht freut, sei es um zu kochen oder einen Wein vor dem Kamin zu geniessen. Cha­terine und Pedro sind her­zens­warme Gast­geber, die einem mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stehen und wun­der­volle Tips geben können, sei es zum Wandern oder tolle Restau­rants. Spielt das Wetter einmal nicht mit, ist es das Haus mit seinen ver­schie­denen Auf­ent­halts­mög­lich­keiten, das einen die Zeit ver­gessen lässt. Nicht ver­gessen werden wir den mor­gend­lichen Kaffee auf der Ter­rasse in der Sonne, den Duft der Pflanzen die Man­da­ri­nen­bäumen, die Wärme und Ruhe. Toll. Vielen Dank.

Wir hatten einen wun­der­baren Auf­enthalt in der Casa Linear! Das Haus ist wun­der­schön gestaltet, sehr gemütlich und mit allem aus­ge­stattet, was man braucht. Besonders genossen haben wir die ruhige Atmo­sphäre und die tolle Umgebung – perfekt zum Ent­spannen und Auf­tanken. Die Gast­geber waren sehr herzlich, auf­merksam und haben uns rundum will­kommen fühlen lassen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und können die Casa Linear wärmstens wei­ter­emp­fehlen.

Unsere zwei Wochen Ende September/ Anfang Oktober waren ein Traum. Das Haus ist wun­der­schön und sehr lie­bevoll gestaltet. Die Küche lädt ein zum selber Kochen, denn es fehlt an nichts. Der Garten mit ver­schie­denen Auf­ent­halts­mög­lich­keiten und einer Aus­sen­dusche macht es einem manchmal schwer auf­zu­brechen und die Umgebung zu erkunden. Catherine und Pedro sind unfassbar freund­liche und her­zens­warme Gast­geber, die mit Tips zu Restau­rants, Aus­flügen und Wissen über die Algarve nur so sprühen. Dank ihrer beider Hin­weise haben wir sicher viele Dinge gesehen und erlebt, die man in keinem Rei­se­führer findet. Wir haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen. Danke dafür!
