Set on top a quiet hill above the village of Cabanas de Tavira, one of the well-known parishes pertaining to the picturesque Tavira, a peaceful, unspoilt jewel of the Algarve region, the Casa Vale del Rei is truly a place to remember.
Surrounded by orange groves and delicate flowers, Casa Vale del Rei is an old rural farmhouse that was restored to be used as a guesthouse in a way it did not ruin the architectural traits of the region.
Inside you can find 7 air-conditioned and properly heated bedrooms nicely decorated to make every guest feel like they are home. The colours are soft and vivacious and the overall look and feel is very pleasant. The rooms feature en-suite bathroom and shower, hair dryer, terrace, and the Wi-Fi is available everywhere around the Casa Vale del Rei and already included in the price. Two of the rooms have a third bed, in case it is needed.
The outdoor area is definitely the one to explore and breathe in the lovely atmosphere, where you can actually relax and take it easy. At Casa Vale del Rei, meals are not available, except for the outstanding breakfast served in the terrace—if the weather allows it. There is plenty to choose from, cereals, eggs, toast, homemade jams, freshly made orange juice, coffee, tea, and fresh fruit.
The Casa Vale del Rei is run by a lovely British couple, Geraldine and Robin, who are endlessly helpful and welcoming. Feel free to ask them for restaurant and activity suggestions, as they will certainly know what to appoint. The Cabanas de Tavira beach is near and easily reachable and you can also venture off to Tavira city centre or its surrounding beaches.
