Fazenda Nova Country House Opening in Portugal's Algarve

Located near the beautiful historic coastal town of Tavira, Fazenda Nova is an original Portuguese country house that has been lovingly renovated in a modern style while retaining its original features and traditional architecture.

Fazenda has ten large suites including seven Garden Suites, two apartments with their own kitchens, and one Penthouse. All rooms feature King or Super King size Balinese wooden beds dressed in the finest Egyptian cotton sheets. Polished concrete bathrooms fitted with Villeroy & Boch bathroom fittings, Hansgrohe rain drencher showers and REN bathroom amenities.

Nine of the rooms offer private gardens or terraces providing the perfect space to sit, relax and enjoy the Portuguese countryside. Formerly a family home and farm, the house sits on ten hectares of land with its own orchard, vegetable and herb gardens. In spring it is abundant with wild flowers growing among almond, carob and olive trees and during harvest time guests are welcomed to take part in harvesting the produce.

The gardens were created by a noted local landscaper. Simple and romantic, they surround the house and annexes with a series of paths leading to undiscovered, wilder areas to sit and relax. Nestled amongst the gardens, the infinity pool and sun deck are the perfect place to enjoy the Portuguese sunshine.

A Cozinha, Fazenda's restaurant offers seasonal menus reflecting the produce grown in the kitchen garden and orchard. The menu will feature predominantly traditional Iberian cuisine, using the area's fantastic fresh fish, Alentejo porco preto and chicken piri-piri to name just a few. Enjoy freshly baked breads from the 200 year-old bread oven for breakfast taken outside on the terrace by the pool.

Located just twenty five minutes from Faro airport and moments away from the beautiful beaches and Ilhas of the Eastern Algarve the Fazenda is welcoming all year round, with the prospect of blue skies even in winter.

Rates at Fazenda Nova start from €170 (£136) per suite per night based on two people sharing including breakfast.
