The courtyard pool

The long pool runs the length of the courtyard, its mosaic lining turning the water a deep jade in the afternoon. Fan palms throw moving shade across the lawn, canvas cabanas line one edge and coloured parasols the other, and the whole stretch is held in by a centuries-old stone wall. It is the kind of pool you settle beside for a whole day.

A Moorish courtyard

At the heart of the retreat a marble fountain plays over a mosaic base, ringed by terracotta paving and tall palms. A gilded keyhole arch leads deeper into the house, lanterns hang from the ochre walls, and low seating tucks into the shade. The detailing is unashamedly Moorish, and it gives the small courtyard the hush of somewhere much larger.

Our tips

The wall beside the pool

The stone running along the pool's edge is a defensive wall built in the twelfth century, long before the rest of the house went up. It's worth a slow lap of the garden just to see where the old stonework and the newer plasterwork meet.

Coffee before the beach

The coffee shop opens onto the same courtyard as the bar, so the first coffee and the first evening drink happen in the same few square metres. Take it early, before the walk down to the sand.

A few steps to the sand

Albufeira's beach starts just beyond the wall, close enough that the walk barely counts as one. Go the other way and the old town's streets are just as near, then back to the garden once the heat picks up.

The hammam before the evening

Book the hammam or the jacuzzi in the late afternoon; the house is small enough that neither is ever booked solid, and you'll be back at the pool before the bar fills for the evening.
