Casa Bela Moura is a small boutique hotel, with 15 rooms and suites, right in the heart of the Algarve, close to the village of Porches. Within 900m you can reach some of the most romantic sandy beaches near Senhora da Rocha, where the colourful fishing boats await you to take you on a trip to the Benagil sea caves. Just down the road is the 6km long beach with dunes of Praia Grande in Armação de Pêra, with a protected natural reserva where flamingos come to rest.
The central location – 30 minutes west of Faro – makes it possible to discover the whole region of the Algarve.
Our personalized service and authentic hospitality will guarantee an unforgettable stay.
We hope to welcome you soon to Casa Bela Moura.
Christophe Rijnders, family & team
Casa Bela Moura was founded in the eighties by the local family Garcia as 1st official Bed & Breakfast in the Algarve (turismo rural). In November 2002, the belgian family Rijnders took over the accommodation and in 2010 a hotel-licence was applied for. Casa Bela Moura is currently the smallest 4-star hotel in the Algarve.
In 2010 and 2011 we were voted “best hotel in Porches” by the users of the review website Zoover.nl and later we received several awards and were mentioned in “the Michelin Guide” as well as travel websites and blogs. We are very greatful to all our guests for their support and positive reviews.
“Bela Moura” literally means “Moorish Beauty” and symbolises 1 of the many legends dating from the period of moorish occupancy in the south of Portugal. According to this legend, a captured nobleman from Porches, fell in love with the moorish princess, who then helped him to escape and get back to his home, on the golden sandy beaches of the Algarve.
Even today, many visitors are enchanted with the natural beauty of our region and visit us again and again. Some even call it their “home away from home”.
