Abacatus Farmhouse

An old farmhouse where history honours the present, in the calm of nature. In the eastern Algarve, beside the Ria Formosa.

The Farmhouse

Eastern Algarve,
beside the Ria Formosa.

Abacatus Farmhouse is a rural tourism estate in the eastern Algarve, beside the Ria Formosa and the town of Tavira.

It was once a farm growing citrus and other traditional Algarve fruits. Today it grows avocados and olives — and welcomes guests, in the middle of the land, in three suites in the main house and two apartments with private entrance.

“The silence and the comfort, the charm and the friendship, the flavours and the stars will make you feel the true soul of the Algarve.”

Five Places to Stay

Three suites in the main house, two
apartments with their own entrance.
