Casa Brava

The place

Three stone cottages from the mid-nineteenth century, set in the foothills north of Loulé, in the Algarve. Casa Brava was renovated with a light hand: the wooden beams and exposed stone walls remain, doing what they have always done.

The suites come in different configurations, all held to a palette of white and sand, furnished simply and warmly. Each has its own terrace and garden, a kitchenette, a television, wifi.

Outside, a natural rock pool. A rooftop terrace. Places to sit, scattered through the property. Breakfast is organic and included, and the hiking trails begin where the garden ends.
