About Us

We’re a family of five from Hamburg, Germany, and our story with Ferrel began in 2015, during a long T4 Bulli tour across Europe. We visited many beautiful places, but only Ferrel gave us that instant “home away from home” feeling.

What makes it so special? The people. Friendly, open, and respectful — a balance we deeply appreciate. The surf culture, the creative community, and the mix of locals and internationals make this village feel truly alive. Unlike typical holiday towns, Ferrel thrives year-round: cafés, yoga studios, restaurants, and surf schools stay open, and the vibe stays real — even in winter.

The climate is near perfect: 300 days of sun, rarely above 28°C, fresh Atlantic air, and unforgettable sunsets.

We loved it so much, we got married on the cliffs of Almagreira Beach in 2017 — our way of saying “yes” in every sense. And in 2024, we lived here for a full year, finally experiencing Ferrel through all seasons.

With so many friends wanting to visit — and our house always full — we asked ourselves: where should they stay? When homes next door became available, we expanded and created JOSYHouses.

Today, whenever friends and family aren’t here, we open JOSYHouses to guests who love this place just as much as we do.
