a slow living project
welcome to terracota house
We are Ana and Miguel, your hosts at Terracota.
Terracota is a house dating from 1934, restored by us over several years with patience, care and deep respect for its history. We wanted to preserve its character, recover original materials and details whenever possible, and create a lived-in space where art, design, craftsmanship and simplicity come together naturally.
Ana works in curating, art consultancy and cultural management. Miguel is an artist and sculptor. Together, we also run Estúdio Onze, an artistic project founded in the Algarve in 2016.
Terracota grew from that same way of seeing the world: a love of materials, handmade objects, pieces with a history and the distinctive light of the Algarve. Rather than creating an impersonal holiday rental, we wanted to share a home with character - welcoming, imperfect in just the right way and designed to be truly lived in.
We hope you will find time here to rest, reconnect and discover a quieter side of the Algarve, between the hills and the sea.
