About this house rental
## Space
Swallow House is a single-level holiday home of 90m², set within a garden with a pool, beach volleyball pitch, and pétanque court.
You enter through the dining area. To the right, the living room has a wood-burning fireplace and opens onto the terrace. To the left, a light-filled winter garden with sofas gives the space a relaxed, coastal feel. The kitchen runs alongside it, fully equipped for everything from a quick lunch to a proper dinner.
Beyond the kitchen, the house continues into the sleeping wing. The first bedroom has a queensize bed and looks out onto the pool area. The second bedroom has two single beds and shares this wing with the bathroom, which has an Italian shower and toilet. Both rooms have mosquito nets on the windows and manual shutters.
In the evening, the garden wraps around you in all directions, and the pool catches the last of the East light.
➤ Please note that the garden and pool area are currently being upgraded — the photos shown reflect the previous layout and the finished result will be even better.
## Access
Swallow House is a private ground-floor apartment within a charming two-story villa. During your stay, the entire property — pool, garden, and all shared outdoor spaces — is yours to enjoy exclusively. The upper floor of the villa is our private residence, which remains closed off during your stay. We won’t be present while you’re there, so you’ll have complete privacy and the run of the place.

➤ Swallow House works best for families or responsible adults. The property is part of a small residential neighbourhood, and we care about the people around us. Parties and other disturbances are not accepted. If you are unsure whether this fits your travel plans, please get in touch before booking.
➤ Kids and babies are welcome. A travel cot and highchair are available on request - please let us know when booking.
## Interaction
This home is in the hands of Rental Valley, a property management team who work hard to ensure your stay is smooth and comfortable! We are available should you have any questions or requests during your stay.
From one week before arrival, we'll send you our rental guide. This holds all useful information to help you arrive safely and much more. So please read it carefully before your arrival and let us know if you need anything or have any questions.
## Neighborhood
Vale da Telha is a quiet residential village set inside the Costa Vicentina nature reserve, one of the most protected stretches of coastline in Europe. The area has a handful of restaurants, a bar, and a small supermarket within the village for daily essentials.
Two beaches make this corner of the Algarve worth the drive. Monte Clérigo is around 10 minutes away: a wide, relatively sheltered arc of sand backed by cliffs, popular with families. Arrifana is a little further, around 14 minutes - a dramatic horseshoe bay with a strong swell that draws surfers from across Europe. Both are well worth visiting on different days.
The historic town of Aljezur, with a weekly market, a Moorish castle, supermarkets, and a wider range of restaurants, is around 15 minutes by car. Lagos, with its old town and marina, is around 35 minutes south.
## Transit
A car is recommended for this location. Vale da Telha has no public transport connections of its own. Faro Airport is around 80 minutes by car. Lagos is around 35 minutes. Private parking for up to three cars is included, with free street parking available outside as well.
