About CASA FUZETTA

Casa Fuzetta is an exceptional private home in the heart of the authentic fishing town of Olhão, in the unspoilt eastern Algarve, Portugal.

The house is available to rent on an exclusive basis throughout the year for wellness retreats, corporate retreats, special celebrations, multi-generational holidays and photo shoots. (The Algarve is one of the few areas in Europe to enjoy 300 days of sunshine per year!) It is ideal for large families*, friends and groups seeking a high-end, yet relaxed, private and intimate location for time together, special occasions and/or retreats.  The house sleeps up to 22 in style and comfort, and is located within a fifteen minute drive of Faro airport, which itself is less than 3 hours away from London and other major European cities. *(with children aged 8 years or more)

Casa Fuzetta has a dedicated local houseteam available to offer support during your stay, and the owner, Tara, offers experienced advice to retreat leaders and hosts, including extensive local knowledge and contacts, to ensure every guest enjoys “everyday magic”.

*** CNTraveller and Travel & Leisure (US) have both included Casa Fuzetta in their shortlists of the best yoga retreats in the world. (Explore our Press&Awards). ***

If you would like a glimpse into life on a yoga retreat at Casa Fuzetta, here is a Reel by regular host team Our Retreat & Chloe Baio from September 2025 (photo credits to Kathleen Spears). They will be with us again 24-29 June 2026.

testimonials

Understandably, retreat leaders and hosts reaching out to us for the first time, can feel nervous; so I am always happy to make introductions for you to get a reference.

We have received more beautiful and generous testimonials over the years than I can possibly share. Below are extracts from some of my favourite testimonials. You can find them in full (and more testimonials) via the link below.

It was an amazing experience Tara! Many of my guests said it was their favorite retreat they have been on!
- US host, October 2024

Casa Fuzetta is very special. I took my shoes off as soon as I walked in and remained barefoot throughout! I love the stone floors and the earthy energy. As soon as I arrived I felt grounded. I really do feel very much at home there. And I know everyone with me felt the same. - UK retreat leader, September 2023

Your home, the house staff and Olhao was absolutely beyond our wildest dreams and expectation! - US host, October 2022

Pure and utter heaven! - UK retreat leader, April 2022

GETTING TO US

Getting to us couldn’t be easier. We are within a 15 minute drive from Faro airport, which itself is less than 3 hours flight from London Gatwick, and only just over 3 hours from many other European destinations. We are happy to recommend reliable transfer companies to get you to and from the airport.

Once at the house, you will be in the heart of the old town where family-run local restaurants, the spectacular waterfront market and boats out to the islands are all within easy walking distance.

Your response to our podcast “Casa Fuzetta - the House of Stories” has been phenomenal. Thank you.

I can’t tell you what it means to us to receive little love bomb notes like these: “I had goosebumps”, “it’s so generous of spirit, warm, embracing and plain old nice!”, “your energy, creativity, and the way you bring your vision to life are truly inspiring”
