Located in the Tavira region of the eastern Algarve, this holiday complex enjoys a prime position on the edge of the Ria Formosa nature reserve. The Algarve as a whole is one of the most visited areas in Europe and is Portugal’s most popular tourist destination. With year-round good weather, long sandy beaches and top class sporting and leisure facilities, it’s not surprising that the Algarve attracts thousands of holidaymakers each year.

The eastern Algarve is the ideal spot for nature lovers, families or those looking for a peaceful break in the sun. There are lots of outdoor pursuits available, from hiking to horse riding, as well as plenty of wide open space to just relax in and enjoy the laidback pace of life. Many of the previous fishing villages that cling to the Atlantic coastline have maintained their traditional charm and atmosphere and the striking Algarve architecture makes a unique setting for a memorable holiday.

Guests of this apartment complex can make use of the swimming pool for a refreshing dip or relax on the sun terrace and enjoy the delightful Algarve climate. There is a car park for those renting cars for their holiday and a laundry room for guests use. The staff on reception are friendly and helpful and can assist guests with queries or advice on day trips and excursions.

Each of the large, comfortable rooms has a kitchenette so guests can prepare their own meals, making these apartments ideal for those travelling with children. There is a private bathroom with hairdryer in all apartments as well as air conditioning and heating so you can ensure your stay is comfortable no matter what time of the year you visit. Satellite television is available in all rooms and there is a telephone for those that need to keep in touch with friends and family back home or perhaps check in with the office. There is a balcony or terrace attached to each apartment so you will always have somewhere private to sit and soak up the Algarve sun.

Things to do nearby

With its enviable location adjacent to Ria Formosa, this is an excellent spot for those that like to explore the great outdoors. There are walking trails in the park or you can hire a bicycle and explore on two-wheels. There are lots of interesting species of flora and fauna to discover, including a wide variety of bird life. You can take a boat trip around the nature reserve and explore the lagoons and wetlands with a qualified guide. This is a relaxing and interesting trip that will appeal to the whole family.

Of course no visit to the Algarve would be complete without a trip to the beach and those around Tavira are some of the best in the area. Take a ferry from the centre of town to the gorgeous sandy beach and spend some time relaxing in the sun. A little further afield you can take a short train journey to the city of Faro, the capital of the Algarve and experience the lively bustle of this fascinating city. There are plenty of shopping opportunities in the city centre for those that need some retail therapy, as well as lots of interesting museums and buildings to discover.

What have previous guests said?

Previous guests of this charming complex have commented on how peaceful and relaxing their stay was and how spacious the apartments themselves are. A Dutch visitor recently described the hotel complex as a “beautiful and quiet place to stay” and noted that, despite being a quiet and restful place to sleep, the hotel is extremely close to the larger resorts of Tavira and Olhao. This is ideal for those that want a relaxing break but still like to have plenty to do when they are feeling active.

A number of previous guests have suggested that renting a car is a good option as this allows visitors to explore the eastern Algarve more fully and enjoy a wide range of day trips and excursions to nearby attractions. Those that like to get out and really explore their surroundings may find that a rental car provides that extra freedom, although the public transport links are well-developed.
