The village
Two or three good restaurants, a handful of cafés, a bakery worth walking to, the castle on the hill. Everything within five minutes of the door.
Aljezur · Costa Vicentina
One townhouse. Two charming spaces.

Upper two floors · sleeps six
Casa Indigo
Newly renovated Casa Indigo offers plenty of space to settle in and feel at home, with three bedrooms, a living area, a fully equipped kitchen with dining area, three full bathrooms, and an additional toilet.
Natural light moves beautifully through the top two floors throughout the day. Each floor has two balconies facing opposite directions, so you’ll always find a spot in the sun or a cool place in the shade. With doors open at both ends, a gentle breeze passes through the house.
The interiors have been put together over time, with carefully chosen furniture, accessories and textiles — most handmade, repurposed or thoughtfully sourced. The overall feel is harmonious and warm.
The house is spread across two floors and includes two flights of stairs - it is therefore not ideal for adventurous toddlers.

Studio Indigo
This is a self-contained, newly renovated studio designed with comfort and simplicity in mind. The space is open-plan, with a double bed, a small kitchen and dining area, and a comfortable, large bathroom with a shower. You can walk straight in from the street — there are no stairs or thresholds to navigate.
It’s ideal for one or two guests, whether you’re staying for a week, a month, or a longer stretch. It works equally well as a place to focus and work, or simply as somewhere to slow down and unwind.
The studio has been finished with the same care, materials, and textiles as the main house upstairs — just in a more compact, intimate space. It can be cooled or heated (via air conditioning).
Ground floor · Valerie's shop
FairlyWorn
On the ground floor, opening onto the street, is FairlyWorn — Valerie’s shop. She makes, mostly textiles, and she finds: pieces brought back from markets and estate sales sit alongside the things she’s sewing. Natural fibres, visible stitching, mended where it counts. Nothing pristine, everything with some history to it.
The interiors upstairs are the same eye at work. If you stay with us and want to take a little of the house home, this is where you do it.
More of her work: fairlyworn.com.
Opening hours to be added.

Around here
Aljezur & Surroundings
Aljezur sits on both sides of a small river, on the quieter, wilder stretch of the Algarve called the Costa Vicentina. The new part of the village is on one bank; the old part, with the castle ruins, is on the other. There is a market on Saturday mornings.
Nature
The Costa Vicentina natural park begins at the edge of town. The Rota Vicentina — long coastal footpaths — passes through. In spring, the valleys are full of wildflowers; in winter, you can have a whole beach to yourself.
Beaches
Within twenty minutes by car: Arrifana (the surf beach, the dramatic one), Amoreira (the estuary — long and flat at low tide), Monte Clérigo (family-friendly, with a bar on the sand), Bordeira (the biggest, the wildest).
Further afield
Lagos is 45 minutes south for a proper evening out. Sagres 20 minutes beyond that — the south-western corner of Europe, cliffs, a lighthouse, good squid. Odeceixe to the north, where the Algarve becomes the Alentejo. Lisbon is three hours.
Getting here
Faro airport: 1h30 by car. Lisbon: 3h. There's also a coach from Lisbon if you'd rather not drive.
