Casa Fajara is an award-winning rustic boutique hotel and apartment accommodation in a peaceful valley near Carrapateira, a traditional village in Portugal’s Algarve. The property has 12 individually styled en-suite rooms, each with a private terrace or balcony, and is also available for whole-house rental. Set about 750 metres from the village, it offers easy access to local restaurants and the surf beaches of Amado and Bordeira.

Guests can relax in the saltwater pool and garden, use the on-site yoga room, tennis court, sauna and treatment room, or unwind with a book from the library. The dining room serves food and a breakfast featuring fresh fruit, juices, yoghurt, eggs, breads, cheeses, pastries and local preserves. Underfloor heating and log fires help make the hotel comfortable throughout the year.

Casa Fajara welcomes couples, families and groups, including walkers, cyclists and surfers, and hosts retreats, meetings and reunions. Its accommodation, facilities and activities support both restful stays and organised group getaways in a natural coastal setting.
