Corte Vidreiro House | Feel welcomed at our newly built cottage-Jewel in the River

2 Bedroom House in Corte Vidreiro, Tavira

Nestled in a beautiful secluded valley, near to the village of Santa Catarina and 20 minutes drive from the historic town of Tavira and its golden beaches.
Ria Joia sleeps 4 comfortably with one double bedroom, and one twin bedroom with bunk beds. The house has been furnished with comfort in mind and bathed in light with double height wooden ceilings, all the linen is 100% cotton and proudly made in Portugal.
Summer guests will appreciate the air conditioning in the double bedroom and lounge. Tiled with locally made terracotta tiles and beautiful Portuguese stone in the bathrooms. This is an owner managed property, so we are around if needed! Come and live an authentic Algarvean country life!
Ria Joia is in the glass cutters village, in a valley that time has wonderfully forgotten. For 8 months of the year the beautiful São Bras do Alportel river winds its way around the bottom of the garden.
There are so many wonderful walks to explore, and in the spring seek out wild orchids, lupins, and irises. Try and catch a glimpse of the bright yellow Golden Oriole birds, Nightingales, eagles and many other amazing flora and fauna.
Depending on the time of year, enjoy a cooling dip, or a cold plunge, overlooking the river bed, in our 7 by 4m swimming pool. Find a cool place to sit and read in the one and a half acre garden under one of many olive, carob or citrus trees.
Here, in the Algarve's unspoiled haven, the night sky comes alive.
Unplug and reconnect with the cosmos. Romance, under a blanket of stars.
There is unlimited, high-speed satellite internet access, provided by Starlink, (perfect for digital nomads and all!)
Private on site parking, smart TV with digital streaming platform access.
We take bookings throughout the year,
come and enjoy a warmer winter, sample some of the Algarve's 3000 hours of sunshine!

Summary: We loved our stay in this beautifully renovated house set in a picturesque and peaceful valley, but only a short drive to Tavira and the coast. Angie and Jonny are ideal hosts, welcoming and friendly, and always available to deal with any issues or requests. The house is spacious, well equipped and comfortable, with plenty of outdoor space, including the pool with a lovely view (though sadly too cold for us at this time of year!) and walks down to the river. We enjoyed the scenic walks up in the hills, especially the cork oak valley. A plentiful supply of logs to keep us warm on cool evenings. And not forgetting the delightful company of Paddy!Thanks Angie and Jonny for creating such a special place. We'll be back!

Summary: We had a truly relaxing stay in Angie and Jonny’s wonderful cottage. Angie and Jonny made us feel welcome immediately. The cottage is spacious, with a modern open plan but felt cosy and warm even in December. A great location for appreciating nature, peace and quiet.

Summary: An idyllic location in the hills near Tavira. Absolutely loved our stay in this property. Angie and Johnny could not have done more to make our impromptu family holiday one to cherish. Such a tastefully developed holiday home in a stunning natural environment that comes complete with its own orchard and a special guy named Paddy. Would give 6 stars if I could.

Summary: Well equipped, lovely and peaceful and very nice owners. Thoughtful design and everything you need. Quite remote so 20-25 mins drive to supermarket and restaurants - good roads though. Car essential. Closest town is Tavira which is very nice. Well recommended.

Summary: This is a lovely villa in a quiet and beautiful location in the bend of a river (dry in summer as are a lot of rivers in the Algarve) looking out to the mountains Angela and Jonny are on site and great hosts, discreet and knowledgeable. Good recommendations for eating out and things to see and do in this beautiful and much quieter area of the Algarve.
