OUR
story
We didn’t just create a vacation home,
we created our own retreat.
We are a couple in love with the Algarve, with a strong connection to Ria Formosa. This protected location still seams untouched and brings back memories of our childhood summers. That is why we chose a quiet corner in the picturesque village of Santa Luzia to build this place, guided by our love for unique interiors.
Most human lives are shaped by rituals and routines.
We dreamt of a place where time slows down and the days are lived fully, one at a time, a place where small rituals and the simple routine brings us calm and peacefulness.
Inspired by the Mediterranean aesthetic and and the symbolism of the Olive tree, we chose warm tones and natural materials with the intention of transmitting the slow-living spirit of the Algarve.
It all began in 2015 with our family holiday home. In 2018, the guesthouse was born. In 2020, the courtyard became the heart of the house holding everything together.
In 2025, 3 Casas na Ria, extending this philosophy, is now open to guests. A place where days unfold slowly, conversations linger and memories are made.
At 3 Casas na Ria, we reinvent routine: time is measured by the sunlight and the serenity of the water.
