Catita is a friendly, welcoming little fisherman’s house in the stunning location of Pinheiro. Catita is located on the Ria Formosa Nature reserve, a rare, secluded and unspoilt spot in the Eastern Algarve. Wake up to the sound of the sea and birds chirping in a beautiful calm environment. Take a stroll along the walkway and cycle route on the lagoons edge, which also has a fabulous fish restaurant. All of this right on your doorstep. A birdwatchers paradise, with easy access to beaches and towns along the Eastern Algarve, all within a few minutes drive from Catita. The cottage offers 2 bedrooms, a cozy lounge and dining area, fully equipped kitchen, delightful garden and some stunning sea views from the large roof terrace. As you walk in through the gate you will immediately feel at home in the friendly welcoming little house with the front terrace inviting you to enjoy lazy breakfasts, long lunches and evening barbecues. Surrounded by Mediterranean pines and plants it truly is a relaxing, sunny escape in the paradise of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. The garden attracts many species of bird life and chameleons. The house has a double bedroom plus a two bed room. The shower room in Catita is spacious, and has a walk in shower. The comfortable lounge has seating for 4, a TV, DVD player and wifi internet. Double doors open out onto the front terrace. Facing south, between the lounge and kitchen is the dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped for self catering and also has double doors which open onto the front terrace, making the space open and sunny. There is air-conditioning (cold/hot) in the bedrooms making Catita perfect for summer and winter holiday's. On the east side of Catita, steps lead up onto the roof terrace which covers the whole roof and can be equipped with deck chairs, perfect for watching the stars and the lights of the boats fishing in the sea. Wonderful for sunbathing or evening drinks after a stroll back from the fabulous local Restaurant 'Fialho' We do hope we have thought of everything to make your stay at Catita an experience to be enjoyed over and over again. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Rooftop terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33590000/33587400/33587341/ab8839b2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Poeta - Charming Town-House in the center of Tavira Tavira - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 33 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=33587341&PinnedHotelID=33587341&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31760000/31754700/31754656/270-fa915915.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quiete Peacefuly Duplex house in Central of Tavira old town tavira - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 8.0 Very good 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=31754656&PinnedHotelID=31754656&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44250000/44241100/44241063/87ea061d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious Apartment with Private Terrace & Jacuzzi Tavira - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=44241063&PinnedHotelID=44241063&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36490000/36485400/36485379/f4845fc5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Modern luxury apartment with private south/east facing terrace near Gran plaza Tavira - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=36485379&PinnedHotelID=36485379&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Golf](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27460000/27453900/27453823/2c411c54.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Apartment with High Quality Finishings Tavira - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.0 Wonderful 33 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=27453823&PinnedHotelID=27453823&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Restrictions apply; for more information contact the property on the number on the booking confirmation ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

Grounds are in need of attention as is roof terrace sunbeds - unfortunately both broken and with stained pads. Apart from above, comfortable enough home, which, with a bit more tlc and general upgrading could be fabulous ##### Keith R.

O ambiente envolvente é inspirador e tranquilo. A recepção foi muito calorosa e esperamos voltar a este sítio mágico! ##### Sofia M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Henk U. 26 Feb 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Heerlijk uitrusten Omdat we het met het weer erg getroffen hebben - we waren in Pinheiro/ Catita half februari - hebben vele uren op het grote dakterras doorgebracht. Dan komt het vakantiegevoel gemakkelijk boven! De omgeving is rustig en er zijn diverse mogelijkheden voor uitstapjes. En voor wandelaars is het goede plek. De keuken is goed uitgerust, badkamer is ruim, tweepersoons bed aan de smalle kant. Tuinmeubels zouden vervangen moeten worden. Internet is niet krachtig. Wij, twee 60 plussers, hebben genoten van ons verblijf in Catita. ##### Henk U.
