Location

The Algarve, in the south of Portugal, is one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. The Atlantic coastline is scattered with long stretches of white sandy beach, secluded coves and charming lagoons. The Algarve region enjoys a Mediterranean climate, making it the ideal spot for a sunny break at any time of the year. The summers are hot and dry and the winters warm.

These modest holiday apartments are located in the popular Quarteira region of the Algarve, only a few minutes’ walk from the beach and the resort centre, where you will find a wealth of shops, bars and restaurants to choose from. The city of Faro, the capital of the Algarve region, is a short drive away and transport to Faro airport is quick and easy to arrange.

Facilities

The apartments are simply furnished and offer maid service to keep your rooms clean and tidy throughout your stay. There is a swimming pool on site so you can take a cooling dip any time and you don’t have to go far for your evening’s entertainment as there is a restaurant and bar onsite. If you prefer to prepare your own meals, there is a mini market selling a range of essentials and larger supermarkets in the main town.

Each apartment has a private bathroom and a separate living area. There is a kitchenette where you can prepare meals and snacks at your own convenience, making this an ideal choice for families or those looking for a cheaper way to enjoy the Algarve. All apartments come with their own balcony or terrace so you will always have a private space from which to enjoy the gorgeous Algarve climate.

Things to do nearby

No visit to the Algarve is complete without a trip to the beach and the Quarteira area is full of gorgeous sandy stretches of beach on which to relax and soak up the sun. Just a few minutes away is the large tourist centre of Vilamoura, where you can find a wide range of activities for all the family. Pristine golf courses, horse riding, children’s clubs and water sports are all of offer here and when you’ve earned a break, you will find no shortage of cafes and bars to provide you with refreshments. A short stroll from the beach at Quarteira you will find the marina, where you can watch the boats and even organise a full or half day boat trip.

Those bringing children to enjoy the Algarve sun will love the Atlantic Park water park, packed with slides, rides, pools and green space. You can let the kids splash around all day while you relax in the gardens and enjoy a drink or snack. Zoomarine at nearby Guia is also a hit with kids and adults alike, with dolphin and sea lion shows all year round and a few rides for the kids to play on. If culture is your thing, Quarteira town has a number of worthy attractions, including the Praça do Mar Art Gallery next to the tourist office, itself well worth a visit. Between Quarteira and Almancil lies the Fonte Santa, a natural hot spring that is believed by locals to have healing properties. Although many visitors simply pass through on the way to or from the airport, nearby Faro makes a great day trip. Those that like to indulge in some retail therapy will be delighted by the range of goods on offer here and the old walled city provides a fascinating insight into the region’s past.
