Monchique mountains, the Algarve
One forest house, booked straight from the person who lives in it.
Three guests, one house. ōkuXcapes is a holiday for couples, families and friends who want the Algarve without the coastal crowds — dogs welcome — and it is also the same forest house held for a retreat you are leading, or an escape for your team.

Three guests, one house.
Most of the year, ōkuXcapes is a holiday for couples, families and groups of friends and nature lovers — mostly from the Netherlands, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Italy — who want the Algarve without the coastal crowds.
You are welcome to travel with a dog.
How it works.
This is not a daily booking engine. It is a considered stay, arranged as a conversation that stays warm from your first message to your arrival.

The same house, three ways.
One elegant, photography-first website, and one house that answers three different reasons to come: a holiday among the cork oaks, a retreat you are leading, or a team escape from the everyday.
Whichever brings you here, every path ends the same way — a single, well-structured request that lands directly in Rita's inbox.
One house, one inbox.
Every stay is taken off-site, directly by Rita — the host who lives in the house. There is no booking engine and no live availability calendar here: send your dates, and hear back from a person.
