Cova do Coração translates as “cave of the heart.” Recently restored with a loving hand, the heartfelt influence is evident throughout, with the farmhouse’s beautiful rooms a showcase for natural local materials. The property includes a private pool and outdoor barbecue area, with views over the hills.
About the property
Cova do Coração is one of the best private villas to rent in Portugal, with pool, terrace, and four double rooms and three bathrooms in a charming and idyllic restored farmhouse. Located in the deep countryside, just seven minutes from Santa Catarina village, it offers perfect seclusion and privacy.
The space invites slow living. Open stone work, natural plaster, and tiled floors are a cool, aesthetic delight in the hot summer, with whitewashed wooden beamed ceilings complementing the crisp white bed linen. Stroll through the rolling hills on a morning walk before retreating to the poolside hammock or the shady terrace, where you can cook in the outdoor kitchen, gazing out at the pretty garden and surrounding countryside. Yoga retreats can be organised if desired.
Although wonderfully secluded, the village is nearby, with the beach and larger towns of Olhao and Tavira accessible in under 20 minutes.
