Casa da Ria House Boat
Come sleep with the stars, dive into turquoise waters and sunbathe on a desert island.
The Houseboat ‘Casa da Ria’ is a self-sustaining and ecological boat, as it has the capacity to generate energy for all its equipment. With a modernist design, rationality of space, comfort, utility and good ventilation and lighting were prioritised, giving this boat a unique character. It is equipped for 4 people and is divided into two floors. The first floor contains the bedroom with 1 double bed and panoramic views from the balcony. The kitchen has a dining table and is equipped with crockery, a small cooker, fridge (with freezer drawer), coffee machine and microwave. The shower, washbasin and WC area are also on this floor. The dining table in the kitchen can be converted into a sofa bed with sleeping capacity for 2 people. The 2nd floor is characterised by a privileged view of the Ria Formosa, with a shaded solarium and sun loungers. The boat also has access ladders at the stern and a small semi-rigid rowing boat for travelling to the deserted beaches around 50 metres from the boat.

Can I check in / check out whenever I want?
The check-in and check-out times will be provided by us and are based on the natural tidal cycle. It has to be respected, otherwise, due to the tidal cycle, we won’t be able to get to the Houseboat to check in. It’s an issue we can’t get round.
Is there a car park near the check-in point?
There are free car parks next to our check-in point, but in high season you should arrive early as parking can take longer.

During my stay, can I go to Fuzeta whenever I want?
Transport for guests of the Houseboat at check in and check out is included in the daily rate. Travelling of any other kind can only be done in accordance with the tidal cycle and must therefore be requested in advance, at an additional cost of €20 (one way) or €30 (return) between 9am and 6pm.
