Activities in the surrounding area:
The countryside immediately surrounding the Quinta is a paradise for birdwatchers and walkers alike. A little further afield, on the road to the fishing village of Burgau, there is a sports centre offering tennis, squash, aerobics and a gym. There are two waterslide parks within easy reach and a visit to the Zoo Marine park is a must - swim with dolphin in a safe, controlled environment. A short drive north-west through the picturesque countryside leads to the wild and rugged West coast where deserted, secluded beaches can still be found even in the height of summer. A drive inland from Odiáxere through olive groves and eucalyptus trees leads to the crystal clear waters of the Bravura Dam. A trip to Monchique with its picturesque spa town takes about 45 minutes.
More about the pool and grounds:
The heated pool (10 x 5m, max depth 1.8m) is surrounded by both terraced and grassed sunbathing areas with sun umbrellas, chairs and comfortable sunlongers from which to relax and enjoy the unspoilt surroundings and countryside views towards the Monchique hills. There is also a shaded picnic area next to the pool which is ideal for outdoor dining. Beyond a rockery boasting some enormous cacti is the orchard which contains a variety of trees including oranges, lemons, grapefruit, walnuts, pomegranate, plums and more. These are offered complimentary to all guests as are home grown vegetables, when in season.
Groups of up to 16:
The apartments are ideal for individual bookings or for groups of up to 16 people. The layout makes it perfect for families wanting to holiday together, offering private facilities yet maintaining the space and comfort of individual accommodation. Golf club getaways, family reunions and even wedding parties are all welcome at Quinta Bavaria.
The resident English owners, Colin and Sue, keep an adjoining apartment for themselves. They are on hand if needed, but all the facilities are for the sole use of guests. Please see our own for more details and prices -ask us for link.
