Casa Ella - Salt-Water Pool and West Coast Algarve

The space

Casa Ella is a two-storey villa of 108m², sleeping up to 6 guests (maximum 6 adults) across three bedrooms.

You enter through the kitchen, which flows into an open dining room with a sofa. To the right is the living room, centred around a stone fireplace, with direct doors out to the garden. Outside, a generous terrace wraps around the 10 x 5m pool. Six sun loungers, a stone-built BBQ, two outdoor dining areas and a separate poolhouse with a toilet complete the outdoor space.

Upstairs via the dining room staircase: the main bedroom has a kingsize bed, an en-suite bathroom with shower and toilet, and a private balcony with a table and chairs.

On the ground floor, a hallway connects the two remaining bedrooms: one with a kingsize bed, one with two single beds. A bathroom with a bath and toilet serves both rooms.

Please note that the house has no air conditioning anywhere. Windows have no shutters or blackout curtains, so rooms catch the full morning light in summer. A short stroll brings you to a varied selection of restaurants and supermarkets.

Come evening, when the heat softens and the pool holds the last of the western light, you will not want to be anywhere else.

The neighborhood

Vale da Telha is a small residential development on the western edge of the Algarve, within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park — one of the most protected and least developed stretches of coastline in Europe. It is quiet, unhurried, and largely untouched.

Two of the west coast's best beaches are a short drive away. Praia da Arrifana is around 6 minutes by car: a wide sandy bay sheltered by dramatic cliffs, with a fishing port, surf schools, and a clifftop restaurant with sea views. Praia de Monte Clérigo is around 7 minutes away — a long, open beach popular with families and quieter than Arrifana in peak season.

Aljezur, the nearest town, is around 10 minutes by car. It has supermarkets, a weekly market, a pharmacy, and several restaurants. A bakery is a short walk from the property — useful for morning pastries before a beach day.

Getting around

A car is essential for this location. Vale da Telha has no meaningful public transport for day-to-day use. Parking for up to 3 cars is available inside the property gate, with free street parking nearby.

Faro Airport is approximately 1 hour 25 minutes by car. Lagos is around 40 minutes. Aljezur town is around 10 minutes.
