The House
Casa Fuzetta is a historic townhouse located in the heart of Olhao’s old town. Originally, a classical gentleman’s residence, it was lovingly restored over a three year period, between 2014 and 2016. We called upon the skills of the local craftsmen and artisans to create a property that balances the heritage of its architecture with contemporary design and comfort- including a spectacular rooftop pool! Throughout, we used a palette of natural colours and materials – white, stone, wood and linens, aiming to create a space in which everyone can feel at ease the moment they walk through the door…
With our local knowledge and relationships, we can help you create authentic, personal and unique experiences and events. We can also help you develop bespoke programs of activities to support spiritual, creative, wellness, meditation and corporate retreats. Our local house manager will be on call to help with those unexpected issues that even the best planning can’t foresee!
Located in the heart of Olhao’s old town , the fabulous markets and a wide selection of family run restaurants are within easy walking distance of the house – as are the ferries and taxis to the outlying islands. When you book with us, we will send you a link to the app we have created for houseguests, with maps and suggestions on the best places to eat and visit both in Olhao and the wider area.
Almost, best of all, the house is no more than 15 minutes drive from Faro international airport – well served, all year round by multiple airlines.
Retreats @ Casa Fuzetta
Early morning yoga on the rooftop terrace to the sound of church bells, racing pigeons and the town waking up is a perfect way to start the day with a little of what we call Everyday Magic.
Meditation in the sanctuary on the first floor is an exceptional experience, as is Yin yoga accompanied by live piano in the entrance hall.
We have two dedicated treatment rooms and the option to offer treatments in the meditation room as well. The evocative scent scapes of LA-EVA’s units of wellbeing are available to be integrated within the treatments, to create the ultimate in ethereal uplifting experiences.
We are lucky to have a network of wonderful local contacts, whom we would be delighted to introduce you to, to help you curate experiences your guests will cherish and remember for years to come. Whether you are looking for incredible chefs, yoga teachers, masseurs, sound healers or more, just let us know. We’ll be happy to make a recommendation.
