“The house of Agni and Jacob is a pearl, mix of there own furniture collection and nicest things from the flea markets, with big sense for aesthetics. Also it was the perfect place for our bigger child with the nice swimming pool, all the cats and the extra little house with a lot of toys. We had the bad luck and in the same time the good luck to stay there while corona crises started. We had all the time a very good communication with Agni, beside she gave us a very long manual with a lot of advices what to see around. We decided to stay there for one month because of the situation. Thank you again! it was the perfect place to stay there in the crisis, we took care of the chicken, made little walks around, spend time a the pool, observed the turtles and enjoyed all the flowers and trees of the nice garden. We also had all the time very nice communication with the housekeeper Veronica, she is a really nice woman. The only thing we are really sad about that we could see nothing from the nice Algarve (corona crisis) so we definitely want to come back to see the beautiful area. And I can highly recommend to stay in the wonderful place from Agni and Jacob. ”

Casa Stardust s is placed in a traditional small village of Quelfes only 10 mins from a very beauyiful town- Olhao. You will find hourself super close the best market with fresh fish, vegetables, fruit, etc., in the area. Olhao has its amazing charm of a fisherman's coast town with its great architecture, artistic expats, vibrant and serene aura. Casa Stardust is also a 20 minute drive to Barril beach - one of the most beautiful beaches in the area and a 20 min drive from Faro airport.
It is an excellent starting point for biking in the nearby villages, exploring the Natural Park of Ria Formosa, exploring Spain's beauties- Sevilla with only an 1.5 h drive. You can reach the islands of Ria Formosa and the most beautiful beaches of the area from Olhao Harbour. It is also a departure place for the boat tours, surf, visits of Ria Formosa Parc and all the summer activities.
Our house is a very big property with a huge garden spreading in front of it. Casa Stardust consists of a main house and 2 separate cottages / one for swaps and another one for rentals.
The main house is with the master bedroom, big living space, office space, big and very light kitchen, tv room and Laundry room. It is a unique and colorful piece of art - our house. Great decoration, traditional flooring/ in the main house/, painted furniture, walls, etc. Fantastic light effects, too! The main house has 2 exit doors: one opens to a swimming pool, its deck and the fabulous garden and the other one opens to a shady and very romantic court. From that one you enter to the cottages. We also have a traditional calcada in the main parts of the garden.Our garden features 2 beautiful terraces: a round one with elegant outdoor furniture, old, tall trees surrounding it and a romantic fish pond to relax by/ the other one is smaller but so pleasantly shady which is a relief in summer period. We have lots of old trees,flowers and even an orchard on our property. Fruit trees are at the further end of the garden. The spacious house, the vast garden, great swimming pool, plus the extensive land belonging to the property is really something special in this area.
We also have some animals on the property: cats, decorative chickens and pigeons. Please be so kind to feed and love them if you can. No dogs are allowed on the property.
Our house has a lot of charm and this special suthern atmosphere you will adore. The air smells differently, the light is divine, the flowers and the greenery of the garden are simply enchanted and the swimming pool is a cherry on the top of it all :)

Agni's reviews
As a host (2)“Out of our 25+ houseswaps, this has been one of the nicest. Not the least since Jacob and especially Agni informed us perfectly about the house, surroundings, things to do etc. Taking care of the chicken, cats and Duck Fifi was a pleasure. Nice house, perfect swimming pool and very well taken care of. I felt very much at home. Very recommendable! Patrick.”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
There are no neighbours peeking inside our house. All of those, who are in Quelfes, are within walking distance, but the house is situated with its back to the small village road and the whole property unwinds secretly to the oposite side which is a very comfortable thing ;)
You cannot see the neighbours from the property, unless you go to the roof terrace.
