Villa  Calhandros

Just a 500-meter stroll from the charming village of Santo Estevão, you'll discover Casa Calhandros. This standalone villa features a private infinity pool, a spacious veranda that offers ample shade, and plenty of sun-kissed lounging areas beside the pool. Inside, the villa boasts two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. One bedroom includes French windows, its own veranda, and a sunshade. The fully equipped kitchen and dining area seamlessly connect to a separate living room with large sliding doors that open to the expansive south-facing veranda and pool. Cooling is ensured with ceiling fans in both the living room and bedrooms. The dining table and chairs on the veranda invite you to relish outdoor meals on warm summer evenings, complemented by the convenience of a BBQ. Nestled on private grounds without any overlooking neighbors, the villa also provides ample private parking.

The lovely rustic village of Santo Estevão with its medieval church, is within walking distance and provides all immediate amenities – ATM, post office, village supermarket, pharmacy, hairdresser and a restaurant ‘O Forno’ very popular with both Portuguese and tourists alike.  On the corner of our estate is a very popular Café/restaurant ‘Mercearia da Aldeia’ were you can enjoy a delicious glass of Portuguese wine, drink of your choice, or food.

 

Private Pool


We offer you a lovely 4x6 metre swimming pool with depths ranging from 90 cm to 175 cm and an infinity overflow.


The typically traditional chlorine cleaning system has proven not to be the right choice for overall health. For several years now, we have made our pool (lightly) salty. The salty character is hardly noticeable because it is a very light addition. With a special machine, the water is cleaned at the pump, creating a clean and beneficial water basin, which is significantly better for the skin.

Your hostess and host

Christine en Peter

We; Christine and Peter live like a true "European Mix"
Christine, from the Scottish Highlands, and Peter from the North Holland Lowlands.
We have found the perfect place for our guesthouse in the East Algarve. A perfect mix between the two elevations, with the exceptional advantage of the great climate.
Hospitality, cleanliness, and reliability are our motto.

After a search of more than 4 years throughout the Algarve, we have found the perfect spot.
Our criteria for our place were:

* A well-accessible house (not in "the middle of nowhere")
* But still... Authentic, with the charm of the real Algarve
* Not too far from the airport, near the sea and interesting places
* Located in an area without excessive tourist noise.
* Within walking distance of a village with traditional characteristics
* No difficult bumpy sandy paths to reach it.
* Asphalt and lit access roads
* Traditionally Portuguese hospitality establishments nearby or "just around the corner"
