The Algarve Rural Cottage in Portugal is a Relaxing Haven
Discover a charming rural cottage in Portugal's Algarve, offering a serene escape with modern comforts, perfect for travelers seeking an intimate and affordable vacation experience.

Escape to a Unique Cottage Experience
Take a vacation and get away from it all and instead of staying in a predictable hotel, try out staying in this small cottage home in Portugal. This sweet mini-house is located on 17 acres of land in the countryside of beautiful Portugal, near the town called Santa Bárbara de Nexe, which is only five minutes away. The awesome private mini house is completely accessible from Faro Airport being only a 20-minute drive away. Even though it is in the country on an average with fruit trees galore, it is also near the beach which is only 15 minutes away. It is recommended that you rent a car or a bike during your stay for affordable and reliable transport for yourself. If you have a driver's licence in your own country, you should be able to get an international driver's licence no problem. Owned and operated by a family, the mini house is completely private and separate from their main house, so you have the whole place to yourself throughout your stay. The charming tiny home design stays true to the original Portuguese style, with the clean white walls, bright blue and indigo accent colours and terra cotta coloured pottery throughout the home. It has a very warm and comfortable feeling that is perfect for a vacation stay.
Airbnb: An Intimate Alternative to Hotels
The accommodation is one of the small cottage homes you can rent from Air Bnb, a website that caters to travellers who would rather stay somewhere intimate like a home like this one over a hotel suite. Staying in an Airbnb is an affordable and interesting way to see the place that you are traveling to. With hundreds if not thousands of users, Air Bnb has become a very popular hub for travellers and homeowners looking to rent out their spaces. The users book their apartment or mini house right through the website which is completely secure and then they are charged for the room when they check out.
Affordable Comfort for Groups
So many people swear by Airbnb and say that it's their preferred choice to find accommodations. This particular accommodation is called the Algarve Rural, and it can accommodate up to six people for under $100 per night. What a great and affordable price to enjoy a full house. There is also a living room and a kitchen so that meals can be cooked in. Sometimes it's nice to prepare your meals yourself when you are traveling part of the time so that you can eat healthily and stay within your budget. Though it would also be a shame to never eat out at all when you are on vacation, so it's nice to enjoy both eating in and to dine out in moderation.
The Benefits of Tiny Home Living
Small cottage homes like the Algarve Rural are also a pleasure to live in since they have everything you need in a home and more. Tiny house buildings this size are becoming more popular with families who would rather have a small home and more freedom than living in a large home where they are tied to debt and a mortgage for years to come. If you lived in a tiny home like this one, you could also possibly rent it out when you go away to travellers in your town or city. It works great for tourist destinations as well as nature and countryside locations to provide an escape and retreat from busy city life. Have a look this awesome mini house and other small cottage homes that are available for rent through Airbnb. You can also meet some cool people this way when you travel and get a sense for the local lifestyle of the place you are visiting.
