House for rent - Αλκουτίν

Welcome to Casa da Luz, a charming countryside retreat in the peaceful village of Corte da Seda, just 4km from Alcoutim. This historic two-bedroom home, once a traditional smokehouse, offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay.

The house features air-conditioned accommodations with a Smart Samsung 8K TV and a high-fidelity surround sound system, along with a reliable 200Mbps fibre internet connection—ideal for both relaxation and remote work. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, oven, and microwave, while the spacious living room is furnished with a cozy indoor fireplace for tranquil evenings.

Outdoors, unwind on the sun-filled patio, perfect for dining al fresco or soaking up the serene countryside views. Enjoy meals at the outdoor dining area or fire up the charcoal BBQ for a true taste of the Algarve. Towels and bed linens are provided for your convenience, along with free private parking and complimentary WiFi.

Set just 26 minutes from the beautiful beaches around Vila Real de Santo António, Casa da Luz is a peaceful haven within reach of the Algarve’s natural beauty. With scenic hiking trails nearby and the charm of Alcoutim just a short drive away, this home offers an ideal escape for those seeking tranquility and adventure alike.

The nearest airport is Faro Airport, located 97 km from the property. We look forward to welcoming you to your serene Algarve retreat!

Disclaimer: Please note, Alcoutim is only a 5-minute drive away and has a small grocery shop for essentials, along with a pharmacy, a few stores for basic household items, tools, electrical supplies, and gas, as well as restaurants and cafes. However, for a wider selection, the nearest large supermarket is in Vila Real de Santo António, a 25-minute drive away. We highly recommend having a car or motorbike to ensure easy access to shops and surrounding attractions.

Please note that cleaning services are not included in the rent. However, a full cleaning service, including house cleaning and sheet changes, is available at an additional cost.

Welcome package

Upon arrival, guests will find a thoughtfully curated welcome package to help settle in and enjoy their stay right from the start. This includes essentials such as fresh towels, toiletries, and a selection of coffee and teas. We also provide a local guide with recommended activities, dining options, and hiking spots nearby. For added comfort, an initial supply of firewood is provided for the first fires, with additional firewood available as an optional add-on. WiFi details and all necessary instructions for using the amenities (including the fireplace, TV, and sound system) are also provided for a seamless and comfortable experience.

About landlord

Booking response time: -

Hello! I’m Alex, a 35-year-old entrepreneur based in Lisbon. I’m excited to share my family’s house in the beautiful and tranquil village of Alcoutim, Algarve. This home, which used to belong to my father, is a peaceful retreat perfect for anyone looking to unwind, work remotely, or simply disconnect. Nestled in a remote, picturesque setting, it offers the best of both worlds: serene surroundings for relaxation and a fast fibre internet connection for those who need to stay connected.

Over the past year, I’ve been renting this house on platforms like Booking and Airbnb, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive—guests love the charm of the area and the comfort of the home. Whether you’re here for a quiet getaway or a productive work-cation, I’m sure you’ll fall in love with this special spot in the Algarve just as much as I have!

FAQ

What happens after I make a reservation?

Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.

Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.

What is the standard furnishing of flats?

All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.

What is a medium-term rent?

The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.

Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.

While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.

Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.

If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.

In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!

If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the landlord can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.

You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.

How can I pay?

On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.

How can I cancel my reservation?

How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.

Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!

However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.

Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
