The Algarve had many hidden treasures, we invite you to come and stay with us and let yourself be mesmerized!
Name: Cas al Cubo
Cas al Cubo is the unusual name for our home. Finding a name that suited our B&B wasn’t an easy job. After a lot of thought, we came up with a name that not only represented the house and the area, but also us as a couple. B&B Cas al Cubo it is, or as you would say in English: the cubic house.
Cas is the Basque word for house. Al refers to the Moorish history of the Algarve and Cubo is a cubicle. The name Algarve dates back to the Moorish occupation of the Iberian Peninsula when this area was called “al-Gharb al-Ândalus” (West of Andalucia). Combining the first two syllables, makes Casal. In Portuguese this is is the word for a married couple. Therefore B&B Cas al Cubo does not only refer to Portugal and its history, but also to the house itself and to us as owners.
