Why Tess Barretto chose Alfanzina

Although we have had a place in the Algarve for about 30 years we moved to this cottage after retirement because it is near the attractive town of Carvoeiro with all its amenities but at the same time this cottage gives us the pleasure of living in beautiful surroundings near pleasant clifftop walks. On the cliffs there is an 'Algar', an original water hole used for irrigation - near the lighthouse.

What makes this farmhouse unique

We fell in love with the garden which has fossilized rocks, ancient 600 year old carob trees, old fig trees, almond, orange, grapefruit, apricot and quince trees, old well and old bread oven in the garden.

Nearest Airport : Faro at 67 Kilometres
Car: recommended

We are conveniently situated to all amenities, including bus service into Carvoeiro and Lagoa from where you can get connections to other places places in the Algarve and Lisbon. There is a mini supermarket nearby as well as international supermarkets in Carvoeiro. At the same time we are away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist town of Carvoeiro, near to the pretty cove beach of Carvalho and lovely clifftop walks. As retired people our location provides the best of both worlds, near all amenities and yet reasonably away. We are within walking distance of many restaurants.
