Casa Rubi is a peaceful, beautifully renovated villa designed for guests who appreciate comfort, good design and a relaxing atmosphere.

It’s a calm, stylish retreat ideal for couples and families looking to enjoy the Algarve in comfort.

We’re Elena & Joren, your hosts at Casa Rubi. We love creating spaces that feel warm, relaxing and thoughtfully designed — places where guests can settle in instantly and enjoy the beauty of the Algarve. Hosting gives us joy because we get to share this home we’ve poured so much love into, from the cozy fireplace to the peaceful garden corners and the new hot tub. We’re always happy to help with recommendations or questions, while giving guests complete privacy throughout their stay.

Casa Rubi is located in a residential area (with passing cars) about 3 km from the center of Carvoeiro — an authentic neighbourhood that gives you space to relax, while still offering easy access to beaches, restaurants, and local attractions. From the house, guests can enjoy beautiful walks through the surrounding streets, where you'll pass impressive homes, lush gardens, forested areas, and even natural gorges. It’s a wonderful area to explore on foot, especially for nature lovers, architecture fans, or anyone who enjoys discovering the Algarve beyond the tourist spots. Casa Rubi is located minutes from the Algarve’s most iconic attractions — Benagil Cave (6 min), the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail (5 min), Praia da Marinha (9 min), and the charming Carvoeiro village (7 min). Explore Algarve’s famous cliff walks, golden beaches, local wineries, and historic landmarks like Silves Castle (18 min) or the Monchique Mountain range (35 min). Within a short drive you’ll also reach Ponta da Piedade, Praia da Luz and Lagos’ beautiful coastline (30–35 min). This central location makes it easy to enjoy the Algarve’s top beaches, nature trails, culture, and food — all from one peaceful base. 🏖 Beaches Praia do Carvalho – 4 min Praia de Vale Centeanes – 5 min Praia do Carvoeiro (town beach) – 7 min Praia da Marinha – 15 min Praia de Benagil (cave beach) – 6 min Praia da Luz – 35 min Praia Falesia – 44 min 🌊 Nature & Adventure Seven Hanging Valleys Trailhead (Start Point at Vale Centeanes) – 12 min Benagil Cave (viewpoint from above) – 6 min Alfanzina Lighthouse – 5–6 min Boat tours to caves & coast – 5–7 min Algar Seco Boardwalk – 7 min Ponta de Piedade – 39 min 🏛 Culture & Authentic Algarve Ferragudo fishing village – 6 min Silves Castle & Old Town – 17 min Monchique Mountains – 35 min Caldas de Monchique (thermal village) – 30 min Lagos Old Town – 33 min Chapel Nossa Senhora da Rocha – 17 min. 🍷 Local Wineries Morgado do Quintão – 10 min Quinta dos Vales – 12 min
