Holiday apartments in Ferragudo

A small boutique house in the heart of Ferragudo, offering calm, clarity and proximity to village life and the sea.

Boutique Apartments in Ferragudo

The Chickenhouse Algarve is a quiet place, embedded in the established village life of one of the most authentic locations in the Algarve. The house with its three boutique apartments is located in the centre of Ferragudo, a fishing village with around 2,500 inhabitants at the mouth of the Rio Arade. The location is subject to heritage style building regulations that ensure new buildings integrate respectfully into the existing village structure. It is from this very approach that the Chickenhouse was created. A restrained house with a clear attitude, personally run and consciously reduced.

The Chickenhouse consists of three individually planned boutique apartments. Each apartment is part of a shared concept, yet none follows a standardised floor plan or fixed usage pattern. The architecture is calm, clear and functional, blending naturally into its surroundings. Materials, colours and spatial layouts were chosen to support rather than dominate. The goal is not a staged stay, but a place where guests arrive, return and stay.

For Guests Who Value Proximity and Clarity

The Chickenhouse is designed for people who appreciate exactly this atmosphere. For solo travellers, couples and small families with a maximum of two children who are not looking for a closed holiday world, but for orientation, clarity and a balanced relationship between retreat and village life. Thanks to its central location, life does not take place elsewhere but directly outside the door. Grocery shopping, a coffee in the square, a walk to the harbour or to the beach are all part of everyday life. Longer stays during the quieter seasons are also possible, as the boutique apartments are suitable both for a classic holiday and for a structured daily routine.

As boutique apartments, the Chickenhouse offers orientation rather than excess. It is a house for people who consciously choose where and how they want to stay. For guests who do not just want to visit Ferragudo, but to understand it. The stay leaves space for the place, for personal rhythms and for a calm and clear way of travelling.

The house is complemented by an integrated yoga studio. Regular classes take place here and can be attended by guests as well as by people from the village. The yoga studio is not a separate offer, but part of the house and provides space for movement, alignment and a conscious rhythm during the stay.

Ferragudo is not simply a project location, but a place close to our hearts where we have lived for many years. This connection shapes every decision around the Chickenhouse. Planning, operation and further development remain our personal responsibility. We decide with continuity, everyday suitability and sustainability in mind – for the village, for our guests and for the house itself.

The Chickenhouse Algarve was founded and is run by Susanne and Rainer together with a small, permanent team.
