About this property

Family house with private pool in countryside.

Our house is a perfect location for a quiet and private holiday for family and friends. A wonderful get-away tucked in amongst the carob, almond and olive groves and citrus orchards with views over the countryside and out to the sea.
Casa Katerina has air conditioning in the living room. There are two double bedrooms, one of which has sliding double glazed glass doors leading out to the patio. The third bedroom has twin beds. All bedrooms have ceiling fans. There are two bathrooms in between the bedrooms. The kitchen is large and fitted and has its own entrance door to the patio. The living room is large and has a dining table, air conditioning and has plenty of seating. There is a smart television with digital channels and possibility of accessing streaming platforms. Casa Katerina provides an unlimited wi-fi facility.
We can supply a cot, linen and high chair, charged at 20 euros per week. Please let us know if you have any other requirements.
Casa Katerina offers all home comforts inside the house and outside patios all around the pool and barbeque area are perfect for dining and lounging in or out of the sun. Our mosaiced pool is 4 m x 8 m metres and has steps going down to the 1 metre shallow end through to the 2 metre deep end. A built-in barbeque is situated on the patio outside the kitchen door, along with tables and chairs.
The quaint village of Santo Estevão is 2.7km away from Casa Katerina, there is a popular local restaurant there and a mini supermarket.

The beautiful beaches of Ilha de Tavira, Barril beach and Fuzeta beach are reached within 20 minutes drive.

There are excellent golf courses within 20 to 30 minutes drive from the accommodation. The closest are Benamor, Quinta da Ria and Quinta da Cima, Monte Rei.

A car is recommended for this property, especially in the heat of summer…and for reaching all the beautiful and interesting places further afield. Car rental, taxi transfers and bicycle hire can be organized with local reputable firms in advance or by calling the local representative.
This is a family holiday home and is suitable for children.
All the accommodation is on one level though there are steps up to the house from the drive and down to the poolside, making Casa Katerina suitable for the elderly or less mobile.
To the rear of the house, approximately 40 metres away there is a neighbouring house. The accommodation and terraces are not overlooked.
The property is reached by 830 metres of country unmade road. There is off road parking just beside the house.
This is a typical, quiet countryside residence.
Ashtrays are provided for smoking outside the property.
Due to the possibility of guests being allergic to animal hair, we would rather not allow pets.
Arrivals are flexible, though we aim to keep bookings as close as possible. Departure is by 10am and arrival is from 2pm unless otherwise arranged.
We provide a once weekly linen and bathroom towel change including a clean of the bathrooms. During longer winter lets cleaning and linen changes are agreed on an individual basis.
There will be some toilet paper and soap for arrivals and a hamper of beverages, with additional breakfast and snacks are provided for late arrivals.

Guests will be met at the villa, or otherwise informed where to locate the key and visited soon after arrival. We ensure a prompt and competent service from a team of property managers, who can be contacted at anytime.

Just what we wanted.
Good points: cleanliness, kitchen very well equipped, outdoor furniture, pool, quiet location, close to local bar and Tavira. Jonny and Angie could not have done more before and during our stay to ensure all was well. Cleaner/maid very efficient. Other points: Access over unmade roads tricky with a low suspension car. All lighting, especially external was inadequate - once natural light goes, you can’t see to eat or read.

A great base for a holiday
The villa had everything that we needed. The pool is a nice size, with sun loungers and a shaded area for the midday sun. Very good communication from the management team meant that we had a very relaxing stay.

Eastern Algarve retreat
The villa was simple, spacious and provided all that we needed. The pool was perfect for a cooling swim. We opted for a rural location and got it. There were plenty of interesting places to visit on day trips from the villa but it was a lovely quiet place to relax in at the the end of the day.

Fabulous summer 2023 family holiday
From the moment we arrived to the time we departed, we felt completely looked after by the wonderful team at Jacaranda. The house was perfect for us. Quiet location (you definitely need a car), beautiful view out towards the coast and lots of space inside and out. We spent very lazy, long days by the pool, reading, eating and drinking amidst the heat of the Algarve's July heat. When we wanted something a little different we tipped into the car to drive to a couple of the local beaches - around 15 mins drive away. Beaches are fantastic! Beautifully sandy, and so much space! It might be due to the time of year we holidayed (beg of July) but it was beautifully spacious and a very relaxing experience! One thing to mention - as we were not told this until we arrived (or if it was in the detail we didn't read it properly!) they do not recommend lighting BBQ's in the months of July and August due to the incredibly dry landscape around the house this time of year and dangers of fires. Totally fair enough. We were a bit disappointed when we were first told this news but actually it didn't effect our holiday experience in the slightest. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking in and tbh in the heat we mostly made salads! We experienced a little glitch with the water system in the house - but all super professionally managed by Angie and her team and sorted out incredibly quickly. An amazing holiday - planning next year's already!!

Family house with private pool in countryside.
As imagens nem sempre corresponderam à realidade, nem relva existia. Casa muito má limpa, principalmente a cozinha com gordura. A máquina da loiça molhava a loiça, não lavava. Tivemos de lavar todos os dias a loiça à mão. Não existia chuveira para entrares na piscina. O colchão era de molas, super desconfortável. Pouca loiça disponível para capacidade de 6 pessoas, principalmente tacho para cozinhar. Nao existia estendal, só uma corda presa a ramos. Outros contratempos que aconteceram foram resolvidos.

Ideal villa
Great villa, with lots of outdoor spaces for eating, sitting or relaxing by the pool. The property is in a rural location but still very well situated to visit Tavira, Fuseta and the local beaches. There's also a train which runs the from east to west Algarve which can be picked up at Luz, which is about a 15 minute drive. Check in/out went smoothly and any problems were quickly solved by Angie from Jacaranda Holidays. I would highly recommend.

A very peaceful and tranquil location
We've just returned from 2 weeks in Casa Katerina (Aug 2022) and would recommend this villa to anyone wanting a peaceful self catering holiday away from crowds with a lovely pool. The villa has everything you need for a self catering holiday (we used all appliances except the washing machine). It could be a little cramped for 6 adults if you couldn't use the outside area, but perfect for a family of 6. The pool was used every day by all of us (2 adults plus 13 and 9 year old children) and is a good size and was well maintained. It's not suitable for very young children as the shallow end is 1.4 metres and the deep end is 2 metres however perfect for older children. The villa really is in the middle of nowhere (which suited us) with no bars/restaurants/shops within walking distance so a car is essential. There's nothing in Santo Estêvão however Tavira is only a 10 minute drive with loads of restaurants/bars and a shopping mall with a Continente supermarcardo. VRS Antonio and Monte Gordo also have loads of eateries which are around 20 mins away. We've been coming to the Algarve for many years and would highly recommend this location. We spend a lot of time over the border in Spain as well as travelling west towards Albufueria and Vilamoura. Tavira is beautiful and set on a river and well worth a visit. Monte Gordo has lovely places to eat along the beach front and VRS Antonio also has a large selection of restaurants. If you travel over the bridge into Spain, Ayamonte is a lovely town and the beach at Isla Canela is really lovely (around a 30 minute drive). We also recommend the beach at Praia da Falésia. I can't fault the villa or the location. The host was really helpful regarding check in and check out letting us stay later in the villa due to a late flight home. The only advice I can offer for anyone booking would be to bring freezer bags to seal food in once opened otherwise the ants will get in!

Séjour agréable malgré l'accès difficile
Maison agréable malgré une coupure d'eau d'une journée par 40 degrés. Compte tenu de l'endroit trés isolé, une clôture avec portail serait souhaitable (Visite de chiens en soirée). Il serait également envisageable de faire quelques travaux (piscine, salle de bains, installation au niveau de l'eau, et jardin pas entretenu)

Quiet and idyllic setting and very private ...great if you are happy with being really remote
We had a terrific stay with the villa delivering everything promised. You really do need a car and the road leading to the villa is narrow and basically a track which takes some getting used to particularly at night. Otherwise this is a perfect holiday getaway particularly if you enjoy a pool. The pool which goes from shallow to deep quite quickly was cleaned every couple of days which we really appreciated. Overall we thought the villa was quaint and had character …. others might think it is ready for redecoration. It was clean and tidy on our arrival and the change of linen and towels with a basic clean of bathrooms halfway through our stay was a nice touch. There is plenty to see and do in and around Tavira and we had great days out in Seville, Faro and at a number of the coastal towns. Do buy the toll pass as it cut journey times down considerably. The shopping in the Algarve outlet malls and venues was good and varied. While we enjoy cooking, the kitchen was well equipped, and we found the local produce and markets great we also found plenty of local places to eat which offered really good choice and were very reasonable - and always friendly and welcoming. We made attempts to speak Portuguese but found our phrasebooks and Apps worthless as the level of English spoken along with other languages was high - which put us to shame! Finally, the artisan ice-cream in around Tavira was excellent and it was worth going out everyday just to have an ice-cream fix.

Könnte besser werden.
Wir kamen aufgrund Flugverspätung Samstags erst im Dunkeln an. In der Nähe des Hauses haben wir uns mehrfach verfahren, trotz Eingabe der Koordinaten ins Navi. Die angegebenen Kontakte waren Telefon. nicht erreichbar. Haben es dann trotzdem nach 4 Versuchen gefunden. Bessere Ausschilderung? Vielleicht hätte man die Aussenbeleuchtung mal angelassen? Im Aussenbereich kaum Schattenplätze. Kaffeemaschine defekt. Ein Bad nicht zu belüften. Gut: Im Kühlschrank war das wichtigste zum Überleben schon eingefüllt.
