Rustic Retreat in the Hillsides Set in the peaceful countryside of São Barnabé, House in the Hillsides is a simple, characterful three-bedroom home surrounded by nature. This is a place to slow down — expect rustic charm, wide skies, and mountain views, rather than modern hotel facilities. Back to Basics, Close to Nature The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, outdoor seating areas, and a cosy fireplace for cooler evenings. There is no TV or air conditioning — instead, guests enjoy fresh air, natural light, and the rhythms of rural living. Outdoor Living Cool off in the small above-ground pool, sunbathe on the terrace, or wander the surrounding hills. Hiking trails are right on the doorstep, with tranquil views across the mountains and valleys. A Relaxed Escape Perfect for families, writers, walkers, and anyone looking to unplug, the property also offers free WiFi and private parking. Faro Airport is 59 km away.
