Cottage

Close to ecotours, kayaking, and more, this family-friendly cottage brings it all within reach. Panoias is an easy 5-minute walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 6-minute drive to Mateus Palace.

After you return to this 1615-sq-ft cottage, you can unwind by the private pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
