Company info

Paula & Jelle are a family with 3 children, that changed their lives when moving from the big city to the wild nature of the Vicentina Coast.

Property info

Muxima is a family run Bed & Breakfast perfectly nestled in the unspoiled nature of Algarve’s south west coast. Muxima means heart in the indigenous Angolan language Kimbudu and it is from this space of heart that Paula & Jelle guard the land and care for their guests. More than just a rural Bed & Breakfast, Muxima it is a family home, fueled by the great love for nature and community. All accommodations at Muxima are part of two restored farmhouses. Inspired by traditional Portuguese architecture, Casa de Eira & Casa do Monte are typical taipa buildings. The walls have been made of a compacted mixture of soil and straw, plastered with natural pigments, which makes every room a unique experience. The decoration is a homage to natural materials and local craftsmanship. From handmade ceramic lamps and vases with clay from Algarve’s south coast, to straw chairs and benches, mixed with raw objects from nature and travel souvenirs.

Neighborhood info

Muxima is located on the western coast of the Algarve, a short driving distance (2 km, 5 min) from the historical town of Aljezur. Both houses are perfectly nestled in the silent valley of Montes Ferreiros, surrounded by a beautiful forest with no direct neighbours and hiking trails starting right from the garden. Beaches, restaurants and shops are easy to reach by car. In short driving distance you will find many wild beaches, that are part of the Costa Vicentina Natural Park. The landscape is a stunning mix of cliff tops and sea fronts. Choose between Europe's best surf spots (Arrifana), sleepy fisherman towns (Monte Clerigo) or wild sand dunes with a river for children to play (Amoreira).
