De stress & relax. Kyrios Casa and Kyrios Lounge Studio are the places for peace, inspiration, creativity and innovation. The 2p lounge-studio is the place to relax, de-stress, 'de-time' and 'de-tweet'. Nature, sun, sea and lots of rest are the basis for a clear head and a fresh body. Do you want to rehearse your performance, creatively express your budding ideas or get your (latent) story on paper, and you miss the inspiring environment? Then come to Carrascal! Peace, dedication, concentrated attention and Kairos momentum underlie all innovative creations and ideas. Kairos is the 'God of the right moment', of the right inspiration and insight. The entire Kairos domain does not have this name for nothing. Experience it! I am happy to rent out my own house and the associated Lounge facility to artists, musicians and other artists who are looking for a (temporary) environment where inspiration and creativity can flourish. And of course also 'ordinary' peace seekers! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car available - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchenette - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - Area rugs in public areas - In-room accessibility - No lift (single-level property) - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible pool - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near the sea ### Things to do - 2 indoor padel courts - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Gym - Tennis - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Double-glazed windows - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 840 square feet - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/41000000/40150000/40140500/40140484/650287bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Laranjeira - House with garden and private pool, parking and Wi-Fi Chão da Parada - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi 8.8 Excellent 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=40140484&PinnedHotelID=40140484&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Studio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106170000/106161700/106161685/8de099dc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villas P Moinho - 01 Ameixoeira Obidos - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill £75 includes taxes & fees 11 Feb - 12 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-11&endDate=2026-02-12&selected=106161685&PinnedHotelID=106161685&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27134600/27134518/bf4f33ed.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Country and beach, the best of both worlds.

Nous avons été hébergé dans le garage aménagé de la propriété et non dans la maison comme imaginé avec l'annonce. Cuisine non équipée : pas de four, de plaque de cuisson, ni d'évier (vaisselle à faire dans le très petit évier de la salle de bain). Pas de machine à laver le linge. Wifi fonctionnant de manière très aléatoire. Contact avec le propriétaire (en anglais) qui nous a expliqué que le dysfonctionnement venait d'Abritel qui avait falsifié son annonce ... ??? Il a toutefois essayé de résoudre quelques problèmes : Wifi et lave linge. INFOS A VALIDER AVANT RESERVATION ##### Karine L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ---
