Location

The Algarve lies on the southern tip of Portugal, facing the Atlantic and enjoying a Mediterranean climate.

The popular resort of Quarteira lies right next to the Algarve’s largest tourist resort, Vilamoura, where you will find a wealth of attractions, including excellent golf facilities. Quarteira town itself has a number of attractions and a little to the east you will find Fonte Santa, home to a natural spring considered by many to have healing properties.

The beach at Forte Novo is only 400 metres away so you can pay a visit to the gorgeous white, sandy beaches that have made the Algarve famous every day of your holiday. The hotel is within easy walking distance of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bars while still managing to retain a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Faro airport is just a short drive to the east and the hotel is well connected by shuttle or taxi services. If you are renting a car for your Algarve holiday, the hotel is easy to find and the roads are well maintained and signposted.

What have previous guests said?

Past guests often comment on how pleasantly surprised they were by how quiet and peaceful their holiday has been. The hotel is set slightly back from the heart of the tourist centre so guests are close enough to take advantage of all the activities available when they want to but also have a quiet place to lay their heads at the end of the day. Guests can enjoy all the facilities of nearby Vilamoura whenever they want to but can leave the bustle behind when they need a little quiet time.

A common theme in the comments of previous guests is the cleanliness of the hotel and the helpfulness of its staff. After a recent stay at the Zodiaco, Maxine from Essex was impressed by how the “rooms were kept exceptionally clean” and “the staff were delightful”. For those looking for a relaxing break in the sun without the noise and crowds, this may just be the ideal spot for you.
