Armação de Pêra

Iconic inspiration

Located at the heart of Armação de Pêra, the Red Chalet was built during the 20th century in the Belle Époque style. A lovingly renovated historical building with direct access to the beach and the historical town centre, it offers the luxury of privacy in a breath-taking setting.

Despite its central location, the Red Chalet is a hideaway that excels in exclusivity and comfort. Originally known as the Chalet dos Caldas e Vasconcelos, it remained as a family summer home for over 80 years, a sense of tradition creating an intimacy that welcomes guests into the company of friends.

Now listed as a historical building and a famous landmark on the Armação de Pêra coastline, our renovation was committed to retain as many of the original elements as possible: a unique wooden floor, antique chandeliers, and a spectacular staircase were all lovingly recreated. The Moorish influences of the architecture, with geometric designs on the shutters and ceilings, all elegant reminders of the region’s rich cultural history.

Facilities

The Red Chalet is composed of two buildings.

Main house: Bridging the gap between the present and the past, the large open kitchen opens into a living and dining area with a large terracotta terrace and spectacular seafront setting. The charming staircase leads to two ensuite bedrooms and a living room that makes the most of the breath-taking views.

White house: A duplex suite with ensuite bathroom and terrace on the upper floor and a living room downstairs, with a studio bedroom and ensuite shower room on the ground floor. White-washed wooden floors and details in splashes of colour give the contemporary annex a fresh airy feel and a relaxed, effortless style.

Exterior: The terrace is built into the seawall, giving the impression of a stay upon the ocean itself.  Its secluded positioning and direct access to the beach below offers an evocative escape - a place to share quiet moments with friends and family. To create the perfect sanctuary, the Red Chalet also features an outdoor heated pool, sun terrace, and wellness area including a treatment room and a sauna.

With direct access to the beach and the historical town centre, it promises all the traditions of the Algarve from its doorstep-from the picturesque church square it overlooks, to the fantastic flavours of the beach front restaurant below.
