Rio Arade is an 18th century Algarvian Manor House, lovingly restored and transformed into a charming guesthouse providing modern comforts and personal service. Located in the small fishing village of Mexilhoeira da Carregação, 3 km from the major shopping town of Portimão with its abundant restaurants, shopping and cafes, Praia da Rocha is 15 minutes away with its lively bars and nightlife. It is 2 km from the centre of the fishing town of Ferragudo, and close to a number of beautiful beaches, starting at 2.5 km distance. Faro airport is 65 km away.
Guests feel at home in one of the 9 comfortable bedrooms, each with its own special charm and all with air conditioning, en-suite bathroom, TV, refrigerator and hairdryer.
The grand salon where magnificent buffet breakfast is served also has a bar area where you can discuss the day's activity over a well deserved drink.
You may also enjoy a refreshing swim in the outdoor swimming pool or just relax under the palm tree in the tranquil garden -- a perfect area for sun bathing.
Prices shown are per double room (2 persons) and include buffet breakfast.
On holiday in Ferragudo, you can forget hustle and bustle. For this is a charmingly sleepy place, all whitewashed lanes, flower-decked steps and bobbing fishing boats which really go fishing! Come the evening, you can pull up a chair at a harbourside restaurant and watch the catch of the day sizzle on an open-air barbecue. Gleaming white buildings topped by warm terracotta pile up the hill like an oversized wedding cake, with the village's church perched on top commanding sweeping views of the estuary below.
Whether this is a late deal or a family summer holiday, a good beach is likely to be near the top of your tick list. Ferragudo obliges with the velvet sands of Praia Grande just around the rocky headland, where the sea wall creates sheltered conditions for windsurfing. Venture a little further along the coast to discover cliff framed coves of honey coloured sand such as Praia dos Caneiros.
Travel to Ferragudo and you'll find yourself well placed to explore west to lovely Lagos, where sun dappled squares and pavement cafes beckon, or north to the pine scented Monchique mountains where the air is cooler. Ten minutes drive to the east brings you to Carvoeiro where great restaurants and a low key holiday atmosphere await you. Of course, you may prefer to while away an hour or two sampling the ice cream and pottering around the craft shops in Ferragudo's sunlit, cobbled, main square.
