Set in the relaxed town of Vila do Bispo, this is a pared-back base for an Algarvan adventure. While the home is not huge, it's considerately designed, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The compact kitchen is more suited for basic home cooking – the perfect excuse to explore the local town's collection of restaurants and cafes. It's important to note that it doesn't really feel like someone's home (for the very good reason that it isn't). So if you're looking for a sense of lived-in place, you're better off elsewhere. The home is just a stone's throw away from some of the area's most impressive beaches, and we recommend hiring a car to fully explore the area.

- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.

Home truths
The space was designed to be a place for guests to relax and recharge, so there is no television.
The home has a very central location, and construction work is ongoing in the area, so you may hear some noise throughout your stay.
This home is protected by Truvi Damage Protection. Please note that once you have booked, you will be contacted by Truvi directly to verify your identity. This verification must be completed before check-in.
You won't find an oven here, though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.

About Vila do Bispo
Vila do Bispo is the Algarve's – and indeed Europe's – most south-westerly point. With wild, rugged beaches and pretty fishing villages, the region remains relatively untouched by tourism.
