Casa Tr\u00eas Palmeiras is one of those rare places that you see professional photos of that ACTUALLY do not even do the place justice. Beaches, landmarks…of course- they look better in person but I find it rare when a hotel or inn does. \u00a0Dolly Schlingensiepen, owner of the charming and exquisitely designed B & B in Portimao-\u00a0has created this type of space. It is a space that sits perched on top of one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches in the Algarve- prime, prime real estate yet it is quietly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists. No detail goes unnoticed here. The place is pristine…so much that even the linen napkins are embroidered and the china custom.<\/p>\n

THE GROUNDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The focal point of the place is the solar heated fish shaped swimming pool. I have never seen a pool shape like this before and it made it quite difficult to even make it down to the beach some days! It was that inviting. The B&B also offers an intimate lounge in the center that is furnished with retro furniture pieces and plays the most lovely records once the sun starts setting. Dolly offers guests an “honest bar” in there where you can help yourself to a drink or snack. At times- we felt like we were in a posh 70’s movie. It was romantic and hip and if you are into design- you will appreciate the space big time.<\/p>\n

THE ROOMS<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are only 5 rooms and each of them are quite spacious! It is equipped with walk in wardrobes, lavishly tiled bathrooms and big spacious beds. \u00a0In addition to this, the linens are folded down for you each night and the fruit basket is also stocked up daily for you.\u00a0In other words- its easy to get comfortable here. Each room also comes with mini flashlights ( to get around the beach if you want at night), house robes ( WORD!) and full cable.<\/p>\n

5 things to do while there<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
