Casa Rosa Olhão: Typical Portuguese City Villa with a Pool in the Courtyard
Casa Rosa is a private villa, Quinta in Portuguese, centrally located on the main boulevard of Olhão. All the nine rooms vary in size and situation, and all of them are designed with a bohemian style. There are six rooms on the ground floor where the swimming pool is located, and four more on the first floor, opening out onto a shared terrace.
The name of the urban villa is reflected in the color of the charming but minimalist furnishings of the nine spacious bedrooms. A picturesque pool is located in the courtyard, inviting you to take a refreshing dip or simply relax by the water. The tranquil ambiance of the courtyard sets the stage for moments of relaxation and socializing. Spacious terraces, lounge areas and plenty of open space make this boutique bed & breakfast an ideal place for retreat groups.
Completely renovated according to ecological building standards, the house has preserved all the original features of its exterior, including its distinctive color style. The carpets, made of recycled materials, along with the wooden furniture and pottery, are handmade by the Portuguese brand Casa Cubista.
As a disposable plastic-free property, Casa Rosa is committed to producing as little waste as possible. 70% of its electricity comes from renewable sources, and hot water is produced by solar panels. The hotel is also involved in local charities and donates food leftovers to the local food bank.
For breakfast, you'll find a thoughtful selection of vegan and vegetarian options, including homemade vegan croissants, overnight oats, local yoghurts, fresh fruits and breads, served with honey and preserve.
Casa Rosa is also available to rent as a private villa, making it the perfect place to host retreats, small wedding parties or team getaways. Two large terraces on the first floor, equipped with sun loungers and lounge furniture, offer ample space for yoga, Pilates, painting, reading or simply relaxing in the sun.
