The Experience

The eccentricity of the house (its surprising layout, its nooks and crannies, its steps up and down) seems in perfect keeping with this little riverside village. And even in August it isn’t too busy with tourists, mainly locals. Spanish on one side, Portuguese on the other. Casa Verde’s covered patio is a blissful place to be as you watch the boats float up and down; find a leafy inner courtyard too, a terrace among the rooftops, a sunbathing deck and a private plunge pool. There’s also an outdoor cinema with a good choice of DVDs. 

River boating, kayaking and swimming are the activities here -and a zip wire across the river, from one country to the next! Sporty friends and families with older kids will adore it. Inside: comfortable sofas, a well-equipped kitchen and a dining room with an outdoor fire.

Fresh flowers welcome you, along with coffee, tea, oranges, wine, cake, and logs for the fire.

We had a lovely week at Casa Verde. House is well equipped with lots of places to chill. View over the river to Portugal is great both by day and night. Big dining table to sit everybody. River cafes right beside the house for coffee in the morning and sundowners in the evening. Pádel tenis is great (bats in the house) and the village swimming pool is amazing (5 minute walk from house). Take the water taxi to Portugal for river swimming or lunch in Alcoutim. Would love to return when it’s cooler to do some walking .

Casa verde is a very comfortable & pleasant holiday home. This was my 2nd time visiting & I stayed in the garden room which was fabulous. In fact all the rooms are lovely & it is extremely clean. The communal rooms are light & airy & the layout of the house has been well thought out. I will certainly go back again. The village is very friendly & with 2 places to eat , 2 shops, a stunning view over the river a cash point it really is quite self contained. We ventured out in our hire car and took in some lovely walks & trips to nearby towns & villages. Very good choice we felt .


Sarah, Norwich

Casa Verde is such a relaxing place to stay. We loved the house itself with views over the river, at night the village of Alcoutim lit up across the water, by day swallows flitting and boats passing by. Every room was so comfortable with luxurious treats like Molton Brown shower wash and shampoo. We enjoyed the plunge pool and lazing in the sun. The local walks were a delight - so many varieties of wild flower, oranges and olive trees growing in an unspoilt landscape. It's cheap to eat out in Sanlucar or in the village across the river, and we heard nightingales singing as we did! A treat!


Kirsten, Highlands

Casa Verde is a quintessential Spanish house, full of cosy touches that make it feel like a home! It was clean, comfortable and well decorated, with bookshelves full of reading material, DVDs and games. The fully equipped kitchen made meals a joy & there are several outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing, including an outdoor cinema that we loved! Beautiful surrounding area with plenty of activities to do and space in the house for a family. We loved soaking up the view from the patio & drinking freshly squeezed orange juice in the mornings! Perfect place to unwind, adventure, or both!


Location

The neighbourhood

You're in the heart of the charming white village of Sanlúcar de Guadiana with its cobbled alleyways and riverside jetty. The house sits in a prominent position looking across the river to the Portuguese village of Alcoutim. Borrow the owner's boat if you have a license, zip wire over, or call the 'on demand' ferry. Within a five-minute walk there are shops, a bakery and three restaurants.

Local points of interest from Val Woodhouse

  • The lovely river Guadiana which winds its way between Portugal and Spain, is always changing, always moving and is a place to dream as you bob down the river in our dinghy or in a kayak. Or go for a swim at the village pool, just a 5 minute walk away.
  • Climb up to the castle in the village for the most fantastic view, and then take the thrilling ride on the zipwire across to Portugal. Better still you arrive there 59 minutes earlier than when you left!
  • Enjoying a drink - particularly a gin and tonic (they are huge!) - at the beach bar in the village and trying some of the tasty tapas whilst watching the reflections on the water. Very cool!.
  • Staying in March and November and finding that it is so warm that a T-shirt is still enough to wear even outside at 11 o'clock at night!
  • Ambling down the river path to the finca, picking the oranges and filling a big bag, to then walk back, squeezing them to make juice and ice-cream. Very very satisfying.
  • Finding one of the many fiestas taking place in the village, watching the donkeys race through the narrow streets, barbeque of sardines and a dance with the locals. Or watch the Virgin del Carmen statue cross the river and back. That is special, indeed
