Why the Algarve?
Southern Portugal – gentle, sunny, irresistible.
A corner of Europe that feels like one long summer. Close enough for a quick trip, far enough away for that real holiday feeling.
300+ days of sunshine
Mild climate almost year-round. Even in winter, daytime temperatures rarely drop below 15 °C – perfect for off-season getaways.
Mild climate almost year-round – perfect for off-season escapes.
Dream beaches on your doorstep

Workation on the Algarve
Working remotely – with the ocean in the background.
We also use OceanView for workations ourselves: working from the Algarve for a few weeks, stepping onto the terrace in the evening and just breathing in the sea. It's especially lovely in the off-season from September to March – the region gets quieter, the climate stays pleasantly mild even in the Portuguese winter, and everything feels far more relaxed than in the high season.
Ready-to-use workspaces
Two of the bedrooms already have a desk. If you need more space, the large kitchen table offers excellent conditions – it's rarely used for meals anyway, since you mostly eat outside on the terrace or at restaurants.
Two bedrooms with desks plus a large kitchen table.
1,000 Mbit/s fibre & WiFi 6
1,000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s) fibre and WiFi 6 in every corner of the house – smooth video calls and large uploads in seconds.
1,000 Mbit/s fibre & WiFi 6 throughout the house.
Special rates on request
For longer workation stays, we offer individual rates. Just send us your preferred dates – we'll check availability and work out the details with you personally.

About us
One family, one deep love for the Algarve.
We are Carlo and Jasmine – and for us the Algarve is far more than a holiday destination. It is our second home. For over 30 years we have spent every spare moment here and know the entire coast – from the wild west near Odeceixe to charming Tavira in the east – like the back of our hand.
In early 2026 we made a long-held dream come true with OceanView: we renovated the house with a lot of love for detail and lived in it ourselves for two months – until every corner, every piece of furniture, every cushion was exactly the way we wanted it.
By now we're a family of four: our son Leo and Fiete, our Havanese. That has changed the way we see the Algarve – we now know which beaches slope gently into the water, where a stroller is easy to push, and which restaurants welcome everyone in the evening.
Every tip you'll find in our guide – the hidden restaurant, the quiet viewpoint – we've discovered and grown to love ourselves. We're looking forward to sharing that experience with you, and we hope you'll have a stay in our home as magical as ours is every time we come back.
