The very special holiday homes
at the Ria Formosa
Casa Palmito lies in the middle of the nature reserve Ria Formosa in a huge orchard of 3600 yrd2 with mainly subtropical and tropical plants. The location is quiet and lies next to a pine forest – the garden has a fence all around as well as trees and plants which give you privacy and protect you against views from outside.
A very homely leisure residence, with 1600 ft2 living space and thus comfortably suited for 4 to 8 persons.
This house is built solely by materials used in organic architecture and is hence ideal for allergic persons. Main emphasis was laid on a good isolation, optimal use of the natural light conditions for the rooms, and building techniques that are typical for the area – all of which creates a pleasant "climate" in the rooms.
A walk to the wadden sea takes you only 5 minutes.
Casa Palmita has a homely living room with a gallery, a sofa (convertible into a bed for 2 people), an inserted wood-burning fireplace, a CD-player and satellite-TV.
Many books and games for the young and the young at heart are available for our guests.

The kitchen is spacious and perfectly equipped with an electric cooker and oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, refrigerator, orange juice extractor and many things more.
