Location
One of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe, the Algarve, situated on the southern tip of Portugal, is an idyllic spot for a holiday that is as active or relaxing as you like it.
The area effortlessly combines all the modern facilities and services you would expect from a contemporary holiday resort with the traditional character and charm of the former fishing villages that cling to the Atlantic coastline. Long stretches of sandy beach lapped by azure waters and narrow, cobbled streets dotted with whitewashed buildings in the traditional Algarve style sit side by side with pristine championship golf courses, modern hotel complexes and a vibrant nightlife.
The resort of Tavira is situated to the east of Faro and is easily reached from the airport. At the eastern edge of the Algarve region, Tavira is an area of vast open spaces, long and fascinating history and rolling hills that demand to be explored. The hotel is located just outside the delightful village of Cabanas, where you can catch a free boat to the beach. For those looking for a peaceful and relaxing Algarve break, the area around Tavira is the ideal spot to stay.
Facilities
Guests can choose one or two bedroom apartments or studio accommodation and all rooms are fully equipped with kitchenette containing an oven, grill and fridge so you can prepare your own meals and snacks whenever suits you.
Satellite television is provided to keep you amused whenever you want some quiet time in your room. Each apartment has its own private bathroom and a balcony or terrace so you’ll have a private place to soak up the warm Algarve sun.
The hotel complex has a 24-hour reception desk that will help you with any queries or information about the local area. For those that like to explore their environment independently, take advantage of the bicycle rental facilities and head off for a two-wheeled tour of the area. For those days when you don’t want to cook yourself, there is a cafe and an a la carte restaurant within the complex so you will never have to go far for a tasty bite to eat.
Things to do nearby
Cabanas itself is an incredibly laidback spot and you will quickly get into the relaxed mindset. The town lies at the edge of the lagoons of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, making it a wonderfully picturesque spot to enjoy a coffee at one of the little cafes along the main street. The hotel is just outside the resort area of Tavira and here you’ll find plenty of activities to keep the whole family amused. The town of Tavira is well worth a visit for an insight into the traditional Algarve style of building. The Roman Bridge, rebuilt after the famous earthquake of 1755, links the two sides of town across the River Gilão and the remains of Tavira castle are also worth a look.
If golf is your thing, there’s no shortage of courses to choose from, with the nearest being Benamor, Quinta da Ria, Quinta da Cima and Colina Verde. Just a few kilometres from Tavira and well worth making the trip is the “O Pego do Inferno” or Pool of Hell, an ironically named turquoise lagoon complete with beautiful cascading waterfall. You can swim in the lagoon and it is a wonderfully peaceful spot to relax, have a picnic and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. There is a footpath to the waterfall and a picnic area nearby.
What have previous guests said?
Previous guests often comment on how peaceful their stay has been and the ideal location of the complex. Many guests have found the apartments to be more spacious than they expected and enjoyed the range of outdoor space available to enjoy the sun at all times of the day. A recent visit from an Irish family was commended for providing “a comfortable stay and plenty outside space”.
The peaceful ambience of the hotel and the town beside it has made it popular with families as it is a safe area for children. A recent summer break by a family from Kent led to the hotel being described as “perfect for families or for relaxation”. So if you need to relax and get away from it all, the eastern Algarve is the ideal place and this hotel is an excellent base from which to explore it at your own pace.
