Waterfront, big terrace, hot tub & 200 m to beach | House in Ferragudo

A charming house right on the waterfront in the heart of the historical center of Ferragudo. Built late 1800 and recently carefully renovated to a modern standard while preserving its unique character.
A magnificent sunny private roof terrace for BBQ, or just relaxing with a large hot tub and a breathtaking panoramic view. The perfect getaway for an authentic holiday away from mass tourism. Minutes from beaches, golf courses, the nightlife in Praia de Rocha, museums, and shopping malls in Portimão.
Right at your doorstep, you will see the local fishermen unloading their daily catches. 100 meters to the left of the house you have the local fish and fruit market where you can buy local produce and prepare a delicious lunch in the fully equipped modern kitchen or on the roof BBQ. The dinner can be enjoyed by the dining areas on the rooftop or in the living room.
If you turn right and follow the quayside 200 meters you will find Prai Angria, a beach used mostly by the local Portuguese. This is the perfect place for sunbathing or a swim.
If you continue to the fort, stop and try to find its hidden cave. When you continue you will come to the more touristic Pria Grande with all kinds of service including four excellent beach restaurants and rental of water equipment.
Both beaches are protected by wave breakers protecting the beaches from the Atlantic waves in that might make swimming risky at many other beaches in Algarve. After the wave breakers there is a great area for surfing.
Many of our guests just loved the breath-taking beautiful trail that starts at Pria Grande. You follow a marked path and on the cliff edges with absolutely breathtaking views. You pass the beaches of Praia do Molhe, Pintadinho, and Caneiros where you can stop or have a drink. The Seven Hanging Valleys (Sete Vales Susensos) has been named the best Hiking Destination in Europe.
Returning home, you can take a shower on the rooftop shower before watching the magnificent sunset from the hot tub.
After a drink in the launch set on the rooftop, you can go to Tres Dukes and take a bear with the local fishermen. Next door you find Amigo, a very popular place for ex-pats. Continue down the narrow-cobbled alley lined with traditional Portuguese houses takes you to a range of excellent local restaurants. After 200 meters you pass the local butcher, a bread bakery before entering the town square.
Village life still revolves around the quayside square with its narrow cobbled streets and steps, meandering up from the old quay to the summit of the small village with its 2000 inhabitants.
If you are into busier nightlife you can take the water taxi to Pria de Rocha. Within walking distance, you have a casino and many beach bars and nightclubs for every taste.
