Description

Casa Flamingo is a beachfront island retreat that has been refurbished to a very high standard. This bright and beautiful home from home will provide you with everything you should need to have a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The house consists of 3 bedrooms, central living and kitchen area, a shower room and a BBQ. Outside there is a range of outdoor furniture to enable you to dine, relax and sunbathe. The house is just a short stroll from child friendly beaches including a tidal lake. A supermarket, restaurant and playground are less than a 5 minute walk from the house. There are a further five restaurants, two shops for essentials and a beach bar that opens from April to October. The house is a leisurely 15 minute walk from the ferry jetty.

Armona is a little island paradise in the midst of the Rio Formosa National Park, which in 2010 was recognised as one of Portugal's seven natural wonders. There are no cars, no ATMs and not a lot of people - but loads of sunshine and beautiful accessible beaches alongside the sea and lagoons - and the ultimate peace and tranquillity. This is the perfect escape for couples and families.

Despite being in such a unique and remote location, Armona is easily accessible from Faro airport. A 15 minute taxi ride takes you from the airport to the town of Olhão. From there, you take a ferry or water taxi to the stunning Ilha da Armona and this takes just 15 minutes.

If you want a bit more night life, this is not the place for you! You can however hop onto a ferry to Olhão which is a lively little town full of bars and restaurants and return to Armona later on by taxi boat.

If you enjoy walking, it takes around 2 - 2.5 hours to walk to the other end of the island to Fuseta Beach where there are sun loungers and bars. In summer you can take a little boat to the village of Fuseta and eat fresh fish from one of their sea front restaurants and then return to Olhão by train and then take the ferry back to Armona.

Unfortunately I am unable to accept pets.

Lovely peaceful location

By Susanne on 19-Aug-2023

We (family of 5) had a very nice week on Armona in Isabel''s house. The quiet end location right at the lagoon with sunset view is great! The beaches are also very easily accessible - via the main road or through the dunes. The house has everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bedrooms with a lot of love for detail and cozy for many pillows!

Lovely relaxing holiday

By John on 25-May-2023

ohn May 2023 If you''re looking for an antidote to modern life; somewhere you can slow down and relax, then Armona is the place for you and Isabel''s house provides ideal accommodation. It''s clean and comfortable and cool (when we were there in mid-May temperatures were in the high 20s and the house stayed cool). Isabel clearly uses the house herself and it is furnished and equipped for living in - I doubt if there is anything you might need that you won''t find. And a variety of comfortable outdoor spaces means that you can always find somewhere to sit in sun or shade. It''s in a great location, minutes walk from some of the best beaches you''ll find anywhere, and ten to fifteen minutes walk to the ferry across to Olhao on the mainland, where there is a fantastic market and great seafood restaurants.

Brilliant Holiday

By Josephine on 20-Apr-2023

Everything was brilliant, from Ze meeting us, the location is fantastic but his guidance to find it at night was very useful as we arrived late at night. Such a lovely house, Isabel had thought of everything. Incredibly helpful communications throughout. The house was very well equipped and clean. Very comfortable. It is in a very special location, away from the more built up street with nothing between you and the water. If anything the description undersells how wonderful this place is. We feel very fortunate to have stayed there!

Our second visit to Isabel''s house!

By Sarah on 09-Apr-2023

Sarah April 2023 This is our 2nd visit and it''s such a gem of an island and perfect little house to stay in, thank you Isabel! Great for cooking and kids — there''s a big outdoor sandy space, hammock and outdoor toys in Isabel''s house, plus a good playground on the island. No cars and walkable to 2 beaches. Amazing outdoor market on Olhão where we go to get really affordable, fresh fish and groceries. If you like eating out in the evening, like us, pick your time to visit as there was only 1 restaurant open when we visited this April (open during day though), 2-3 when we visited in October. But in return you get a lot of beach to yourself and peace + quiet!

Cosy island home

By Sheyna on 23-Oct-2022

Sheyna October 2022 During our week on Armona we had a lot of rainy days and were so happy that we chose this house because it almost felt like home, everything we wanted was there: a soft big comfortable bed, a well equipped kitchen and a beautiful living room where we chilled most of our time. Isabel''s vacation home was the most cosy house that we every been in while on a holiday. Thank you Isabel for sharing your place.

Wonderful stay

By Lino on 30-Jul-2022

Lino July 2022 Our stay was wonderful at Isabel’s house. The house is very cosy, near the beach and not too far from the nearest supermarket. A super calm location and with a great view to ria da Formosa, it is even better than the photographs. We loved it and would love to repeat our stay next year
