The development is quiet and secluded. A car is advisable as the nearest shops are 3km away. The local village, Moncarapacho, is very pretty and has everything you need including a supermarket, pharmacy and excellent bars and restaurants. There is a huge local pottery with a pot oven that is still in use and is well worth a visit. There is beautiful church that holds Sunday Mass, and a small museum.
There are many golf courses close by. Travel to the west about 20 km and you will find the Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo courses. To the east, within a 30min drive, is Benamor, Quinta de Cima, Quinta de Ria and the Castro Marim. The villa is half way between Faro airport and the Spanish border, so only about 35 minutes away there are a further 5 golf courses including the two at Ayamonte. Moncarapacho has a new 9 hole par 3 course including a driving range and putting green. Ideal for family use. Two complete sets of golf clubs are available for our guests at no extra charge (please mention at the time of booking if you wish to have use of these).
The closest sandy beach is 5km away in Fuseta. Tavira beach is about 25 mins away and has been voted the 4th best in Europe (Telegraph June 2005). There are also taxi boats that will take you to the unspoilt island beaches where there are restaurants and bars. You can leave from Tavira, Olhao or Cabanas. Tavira, Faro and Olhao old towns are beautiful and are all worth a visit.
Olhao, which is 20 mins from the villa, has a market where you can buy fresh vegetables and locally caught fish (open every day except Sunday). There are also Sunday flea-markets most weekends in some of the local villages - our villa manager will tell you when they will be if you ask.
Our Villa Manager, Vanda, will be there to meet you on arrival and she will do her utmost to make your stay enjoyable. Car hire and/or collection at the airport can be arranged - please ask at the time of booking.
