Casa Modesta

There are two buildings, one with four rooms on the first floor and a common patio, and one room in the back of the building, and the other building with four rooms as well. There are a total of nine suites with private bathrooms and terraces divided up into three types of rooms: the standard room, larger rooms, and two rooms with bathtubs. All rooms but one have sea views.

As far as our facilities go, we have a pool for guests to enjoy, bicycles are included in the room rates, and there are boat trips available. The atmosphere at the hotel is about offering a sense of local culture to our holiday guests. All the materials and foods are sourced locally and we even have our own small organic vegetable garden. We offer home-style cooking, which is prepared for the guests but we also do show cooking where guests can participate.

We recommend going to Olhão and visiting the markets there on Saturdays. The local community producers sell their fares between the market and the river, which is wonderful to experience. The old part of Olhão is also very beautiful to explore and we like to recommend taking a boat trip to one of the local islands, Ilha da Armona, Ilha da Culatra or Ilha do Farol. There are also many restaurants within walking distance that have delicious seafood dishes.

There are eco trails close by the hotel, which are perfect for beautiful walks or bike trips. Some of our guests like to go bird watching in the park and take boat trips. There is also a Ria Formosa lagoon beach, which is about 500 meters long, but the best beaches are on the islands, which are only a six-minute boat ride away.
