B&B Candelária is a beautiful and romantic place situated on a hill in the welcoming village of Monte Seco, in the countryside surrounded by olive-, almond- and carob trees .... so beautiful in all seasons. This renovated traditional Portuguese house has on the ground floor 5 fine cozy guest rooms all with beautiful private bathroom. Candelária has upstairs a spacious fully fitted communal kitchen (you can prepare here your own meals), in this kitchen is a fridge filled with soft drinks, beer and wine, you can also store your own drinks. The kitchen has patio doors to the roof terrace with beautiful views over the valley, where you can relax in the hammock or a sun lounger. There is an extensive breakfast served on a mixture of floral tableware. Breakfast is served from 8 a.m. to... any time! To the front of the house is a garden with a big terrace with sun loungers, fruit trees that provide shade, an outdoor shower which can provide for a nice refreshment. For beach lovers it is a pleasure to return after a day at the beach in a quiet area and enjoy a glass of wine on one of the terraces.
B&B Candelária located on a hill in the village of Monte Seco where it seems as if time has stood still. In the center of the village is a café where the Portuguese life takes place. Bring your walking shoes, because from the house start several hiking trails that take you deeper into nature. Places where no one comes and it is so quiet that you can hear the buzzing flies and hear the wind rustling through the trees. A day at the beach! Go to the nearest beach, Praia da Falésia. This beach takes its name from the fascinating gouged red cliffs that form a background to the endless stretch of sand. Go on Saturday to Loulé, the gypsy market and the traditional market in the center where farmers sell their own fruit and vegetables, visit the old town with its trendy shops, art galleries, museums, nice restaurants and cafes. Take a car route from the map and discover the beautiful Algarve in peace or visit Faro with my city walk.
