Casa Tara – Exclusive Townhouse Retreat in Olhão, Algarve (Sleeps 24)

Casa Tara is an exceptional private home available for exclusive rental all year round—ideal for retreats, events, holidays, and photoshoots in one of Europe’s sunniest regions. The Algarve enjoys around 300 days of sunshine per year, setting the scene for relaxed, feel-good stays in a destination that works beautifully in every season.

Perfect for large families (children aged 8+), groups of friends, and curated gatherings, Casa Tara offers a rare combination: high-end comfort with a warm, intimate atmosphere. With the capacity to sleep up to 24 guests in style, the home has been designed so everyone can be together—without ever feeling on top of one another. Expect generous spaces, thoughtful details, and an effortless sense of calm from the moment you arrive.

A Historic Home, Beautifully Reimagined

Set in the heart of Olhão’s atmospheric old town, Casa Tara is a historic townhouse that was once a classical gentleman’s residence. Between 2014 and 2016, it was lovingly restored over three years, working closely with skilled local craftsmen and artisans. The result is a property that honours its architectural heritage while introducing contemporary design and modern comfort—including the home’s standout feature: a spectacular rooftop pool.

Throughout the house, a refined palette of natural colours and textures—whitewashed walls, stone, wood, and soft linens—creates a timeless Mediterranean mood. The aesthetic is elegant yet understated, designed to make guests feel instantly at ease, whether you’re gathering for a celebration, a creative escape, or simply a week of sunshine and slow living.

Tailor-Made Stays, Retreats & Events

Casa Tara is not just a place to stay—it’s a place to create something special. The house lends itself wonderfully to private events and bespoke retreats, from wellness and meditation to creative workshops and corporate off-sites. If desired, we can assist in crafting authentic, personal, and unique experiences, as well as building customised activity programs aligned with your group’s goals and rhythm.
