We are researching Southern Portugal for the Arbut

We are researching Southern Portugal for the Arbuthnott Holidays Agency and we have found an absolute gem in Sagres… great for family holidays, lots of well organised activities and a beautiful beach that is perfect for swimming. A bonus of covid that we had it to ourselves!! Only an hours drive from Faro.

In 1989 my parents in law made a life changing decision to move their family from London to Andalucia, build a house and set up a business. 30 years later they tell their story of the highs and lows and how it changed their life.

Lots of people ask us what we do and where we host

Lots of people ask us what we do and where we host our holidays from so here it is... the beautiful home created by my in laws. A gorgeous 9 bedroom farmhouse with views stretching over rolling Andalusian countryside and deep into North Africa.
Sadly due to COVID we haven’t run any holidays here since October 2019 but the house awaits patiently for the momento when holidays will start again. In the meantime here are a few photos to remind you.

Aquí está la casa donde trabajamos y organizamos las vacaciones. La casa diseñado por mis suegros con un toque muy personal, tiene 9 habitaciones con vistas preciosas hasta Africa.
Mientras que aguantamos los tiempos de COVID os recordamos como es la casa y que aquí estamos mientras esperando con paciencia y ganas de volver.
