Lakefront bungalow with private beach just 20km from Albufeira & opt. rental car

Relaxed holiday in the Algarve, on a very large private property (approx. 100,000sm) with over 50sm of living space including a south-facing terrace.

About 20km north of Albufeira directly on the lake with its own large beach.

Absolutely quiet location in the middle of nature in southern Portugal.

No traffic, no planes, no tourists - but a sunny southern location with a view of the lake, use of the lake and a fantastic starry sky and a Milky Way guarantee ;o)

Fishing and swimming in the lake is a matter of course.

Final cleaning, bed linen and towels are included.

The bungalow offers you:

Living room with couch, smart TV, BluRay player, fans in summer & heating in winter.

Bedroom with double bed for 2 people

Bedroom with a large bunk bed for 2 people

an additional camping bed 2x1m is available and can be used for the night, be set up in the living area (5th person or child)

Kitchen with stove & fridge

WC with washbasin & shower

Stainless steel outdoor sink.

Huge, furnished and completely covered south-west facing terrace for breakfast and/or dinner, with a large table for up to 6 people.

BBQ with gas.

Dart and boule game.

There is a large sunshade that can be rolled out between the western evening sun and the patio table.

The playground for your children, with a large trampoline (450cm), "tree house", slide, 2 swings and sand box and plenty of beach sand, is located at a distance from the wooden house (second rental property approx. 100m) right next to the bungalow.

Two kayaks for fun on the water and exploring the large reservoir are available and free to use, including paddles and life jackets.

If the wooden house is rented at the same time, the playground, kayaks and beach are available to both renting parties.
Agreements with each other allow individual use.
I'm happy to help.

We have a nice solar boat with which you can navigate and discover the reservoir with up to 4 people (+1 child). It has 2 speeds, a table with 4 cup holders, Bose SoundLink Flex, horn, light and anchor.
When the sun is out you can ride without a time limit.
50€ daily rent (250€ deposit).

You can also rent our nice white Ford Focus Diesel with personal airport transfer. Please ask for availability and the current price.
Minimum 50€ daily rent & 500€ deposit.

Your care is provided on site directly by the landlord.

We have two dogs of our own on the property.
An almost 5-year-old, very well-behaved, child-, dog- and cat-friendly Boerboel bitch, which, despite repeated requests, may not be taken after the holiday! ;o)

The nearest larger town is São Bartolomeu de Messines with supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, petrol stations etc. less than 10 minutes drive away.

The ocean beach of Albufeira and Armacão de Pera is about 20 minutes drive from Messines. Carvoeiro and Portimao about 30 minutes.

40-65€ per day depending on the season (without rental car!)

5 days minimum booking

150€ deposit for damage to or in the bungalow, terrace or objects on the beach.

Please note our house rules.

lakeside bungalow
Great host, very accommodating. Although rustic the accommodation was really well equipped. Enjoyed the games room and the lakeside beach. We didn’t get time to use the kayaks, but they were available to use. Enjoyed the boulle’s and amazing views and it’s a great place to get off the beaten track. It is reached by a long and bumpy road, it’s well worth it to relax.

Perfect haven to recharge your batteries.
Firstly, the photos don't quite capture how idyllic this setting is, with its views of the mountains and the river, where the only sound is nature. The cabin is a perfect size, really cosy and Jens, the host, has thought of every detail, I cannot think of one thing that is missing. The cabin stays cool throughout the day and the outdoor space is well sheltered. Even though the weather was 30 degrees plus when we were there, we were never too hot at the cabin. We used the solar boat for a tranquil cruise up the river with a picnic. Jens is a great host, super generous and very kind. All in all, a very special place.

Heerlijke week gehad. Prachtige omgeving, rust, ruimte en zon. Huisje heel basic, maar prima en goed voorzien. Toegang -na een stuk onverharde weg - door een hek (met afstandsbediening) en dan een schitterend uitgestrekt terrein aan het stuwmeer. Uitstekende gastheer Jens en lieve hond.

Viel Natur
Die Lage am See ist sehr schön, auch wenn natürlich nach einem heißen Sommer, das Wasser zurückgegangen ist. Die Kinder haben den Spielplatz und das Trampolin sehr geliebt und täglich genutzt. Auch die Kayakfahrten auf dem See und das Schwimmen im wunderbar warmen Wasser haben allen riesen Spaß gemacht. Glutenfreie Nahrungsmittel gibt es im Intermarche ca 5 km entfernt. Die Küste ist in 30 min erreichbar. Die beiden Ferienhäuser auf dem Grundstück sind so gelegen, dass man sich nicht über den Weg läuft oder stört, aber wenn die Kinder wollen, können sie miteinander auf dem Spielplatz spielen, der in der Mitte liegt, was unsere Kinder gerne getan haben. Vielen Dank für die erholsame Zeit!

Superbe expérience !
Difficile de résumer, on a passé une semaine hors du temps chez Wolf, qui nous a offert un accueil très gentil. On a adoré être baigné dans la nature, avec beaucoup de services à disposition : la douche au sol à la plage aménagée, les kayaks qui permettent de découvrir les paysages magnifiques. La région est par ailleurs très belle à découvrir. Merci Wolf, à une prochaine fois avec grand plaisir on espère, en tout cas on recommandera tes locations!

Zeitlos glücklich!
Wer dem Alltagsstress und vllt sogar der Zivilisation entkommen möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Auch wenn der nächste Ort knapp 10 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt liegt, hat Jen´s Paradies outbackflair und das mit allen machbaren Bequemlichkeiten. Überhaupt seid ihr bei ihm echt gut aufgehoben. Jens ist ein acht- und aufmerksamer Mensch. Auch wenn er unser Nachbar war, haben wir unsere Privatsphäre geniessen können. Trotzdem war er immer erreichbar und jegliche Idee oder Bitte wurde direkt umgesetzt. Und dann sind da noch die "Mitbewohner" in Form von zwei freilaufenden urigen Hunden, nämlich Bärbel und Müsli, die total freundlich sind und unserer Tilda die ein oder andere Macke, nur durch vorleben, quasi ausgetrieben haben. Das Gelände ist riesig und wir hatten abends immer spannende Spaziergänge. Da ich eine absolute Kräutertante bin, war ich von der ganzen Gegend begeisert. Du stehst morgens auf und hast direkt den betörenden Duft von Wildkräutern in der Nase. Der Nebel kriecht sanft über die Bergkuppe und die Sonne begrüßt dich mit Wärme und einem Glitzern auf dem See. Wir fahren auf jeden Fall wieder dorthin und wünschen jedem dort eine unvergessliche Zeit. Die drei Mädels vom Berg
