Leave ReviewA dream of a stay!
By Anne Morrison on 27-Jan-2025We were very lucky to spend almost a month at Casa Ferradura, sharing the space with different family members over that time. Every single one of us had the kind of holiday we will remember and revisit in dreams. A beautiful house in a lovely location, surrounded by wildlife, tranquility and the beauty of a Portuguese spring. Lots to explore nearby, perfect for birdwatchers and walkers, swimmers, and wildflower enthusiasts(perfect for all of us!). The house is comfortable and relaxing and the garden just lovely, we had everything we needed. We very much hope to return! Thank you for the opportunity to share it Andrea❤️
Beautiful villa in stunning location
By Sam & Ronan on 23-Oct-2024We had the most amazing stay at Casa Ferradura. It is tranquil and beautiful both inside and outside. We loved the spacious open plan living area, but the outside was even more inviting. There are colourful plants and trees wherever you look as well as comfortable sun loungers and inviting places to sit and eat. This is a very special place and we hope to return.
un petit paradis en Algarve
By Arnaud G. on 17-Aug-2024Nombreuses sont les joies de ce lieu. Le ciel bleu, les monts, le silence, le vent qui souffle, le bruit de la nature, la lumière du matin dans la maison, que sais-je encore. En tous les cas, c'est un lieu où le cœur de l'homme plonge dans le paradis ou comme l'a dit Sénèque (Amis de la culture, bonjour !! :-)), où on parvient à la tranquillité de l'âme.
Beautiful Peaceful retreat!
By Catherine Gizzi on 21-Jun-2024Thanks to Andrea and family for sharing this stylish, immaculate property. The gardens and views are breathtaking. With lots of hideaways for rest and relaxation. Really recommend this lovely sympathetic farm house conversion. Appliances all beautiful and easy to use. Plenty of hot water and lovely bathrooms. Everything you could want for a complete rest!
A Little Bit of Paradise
By Lucette and Euan on 17-Feb-2024Casa Ferradura is a really special place. This beautiful villa is set in a stunning and peaceful landscape of green rolling hills. It was a delight to wake up to the stunning views in all directions. The villa is so tranquil and private, the most you will hear during your stay will be a frog chorus from the pond, many different birds and the buzzing of bees. It really does feel like a bit of paradise. The interior is very spacious but has a homely and cosy feel due to the underfloor heating, original art work and warm lighting, not to mention the wood burning stove. The instructions were extremely accurate and it was no problem to find. We loved relaxing by the pool and taking in the views - a hot outdoor shower after a swim felt like such a treat! Thanks so much Andrea. We loved our stay. This is by far the nicest villa my partner and I have ever stayed in and we would love to return. Highly recommended. A complete rest and reset in stunning surroundings.

Oh that’s gorgeous thank you
Wonderful Rural Villa
By Ash Sinfield on 17-Jul-2023A beautiful home located in the hills. If you are looking for a peaceful break in the sun this is the place for you. An immaculate home located in a wild part of southern Portugal. Fantastic for walking or running bird watching, wildlife and peace. We arrived and swam. walked, slept and read for 10 days. The kitchen is also very well equipped so if you enjoy cooking this home is great. We will definitely visit again.
