Serra takes its name from the Portuguese word for “mountain” — a quiet nod to the Algarve hills that rise just beyond the house.

Our first Fora home (68 sqm) sleeps up to two adults, two children and a baby, with a peaceful separate bedroom (with the option of rollaway or cot) and a cosy sofa bed if needed. Thoughtfully laid out, calm and comfortable, Serra is made for slow mornings, easy evenings and relaxed family stays.

Settle into a space that feels both indulgent and easy-going, created with families in mind and inspired by the local lifestyle.

  • A full-size, fully equipped kitchen with quality appliances, coffee machine, and coffee pods — ideal for slow mornings or family meals

  • A beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, freestanding bath, and natural, locally inspired bath products subtly fragranced to reflect the garden’s notes of rosemary, lime, and lemon

  • A separate master bedroom with a super king bed (180 × 200 cm) dressed in premium linen and washed cotton. Option of a rollaway bed and/or cot for little ones

  • A warm and inviting living room with dining table, linen sofa (which converts to an additional bed), and a cosy log fire for winter evenings

  • A spacious entry hallway — perfect for storing prams, beach bags, jackets, hats, and sandy shoes

  • Luxury soft towels, plus pool and beach towels and handy parasols and cool-bags for trips to the nearby beaches

  • A private shaded outdoor pergola with table and chairs for alfresco dining after a day exploring the local area and to while away the summer evenings whilst little ones play or sleep nearby

  • A Bluetooth speaker to set the mood with your own holiday soundtrack

  • Family and baby essentials available on request, including bath, toilet seat, step stools, and high chair — so you can travel light and relax more

  • Curated guide for families - friendly restaurants, best beaches and things to do for kids as well as recommended babysitters and options for those without kids
