Aljezur · Costa Vicentina · Portugal
Your Aljezur accommodation in the heart of the Costa Vicentina.
Five self-catering homes in the old town, ten minutes from five beaches and directly on the Rota Vicentina. Warm all winter, full kitchen, no reception.
We live two streets up with our two daughters and surf the same water you will.
Built for two, or for a family if you take a house together.
Driving times from the front door. The last part is cobbled lanes and one-car roads through the old town, which is slower than a map thinks and is half the reason to stay up here rather than on the coast road.
Three houses · five homes
Small on purpose.
Most are built for two: a couple who surf, walk, or work from the desk by the window. Take both homes in one house and it becomes somewhere a family fits.
Double bed and a bunk bed for children, kitchen, bathroom, shared terrace, the best view of the three.
Both homes, the whole house and the terrace to yourselves. Two kitchens, two bathrooms, two front doors.
Our own house on Cabeça, 85 m². King bed, a bunk bed for two children, an office with a door, and the sunrise from the roof terrace.

Two streets down. A clay house on two floors, one home on each, bookable singly or as a whole house.

Who we are
We came for a winter. Aljezur is home now.
After eight years in Thailand we were looking for somewhere the girls could grow up outside, near water, in a real village rather than a resort. We found a ruin on Cabeça, the hill next to the castle, and spent a year turning it into a home. Our daughters go to the local school.
We both surf. Sabrina is out there as often as Andreas, and the ocean is not scenery to us. It decides how the day goes.
When something breaks, one of us comes, and if we cannot, a neighbour we trust does. Cláudia cleans the homes and she is the reason people write about how spotless everything is. Everyone who works on these houses is paid properly for it, which is the whole point.
