Accommodation and Facilities for the apartment in Tavira region, Algarve, Portugal

Excursions and Destinations Around Tavira

I recommend hiring a car because there are so many wonderful places to visit in the Eastern Algarve and across the border in Spain. In addition to the golfing opportunities described below, you can go cycling or mountain biking, fishing, water skiing, wind surfing, boating, and swimming in both the sea and the calmer lagoon waters. For nature lovers, the Algarve is a treasure trove: birdwatching is excellent at all times of year, but particularly fruitful in the Spring and the Autumn when the migratory species are on the move between Africa and Europe. Wild flower and garden enthusiasts will appreciate the wonderful plants to be seen here. For the history minded, excursions to the castles at Castro Marim and Alcoutim will also give you a look at life in the Algarve hills away from the seaside resorts. The picturesque border town of Vila Real Sto. Antonio contains a wonderful town centre built to the plans of the Marques de Pombal following the famous earthquake in 1755.

More Things to Do

Visit the Camara Obscura in Tavira, and the astronomical observatory north of Tavira for a different sight of the Algarve´s attractions. Or tour the Mine Park, which explores the mining history of the area through archaeological and historical displays ranging from Roman times to the 20th century. Or take the local train to Faro, the provincial capital, and wander around its fascinating old quarter, the pedestrian precincts and the shopping centres. You can also take the local train or drive to the famous fish market at Olhão. Or if you are here at the right time, go to the Medieval Days festival in Castro Marim, or attend the outdoor film festival in Tavira. The guest book in the apartment has information on many attractions to help you make plans and bookings. The local agents, Ingeborg and Regina, can also assist, if necessary.

For Families and Children

There are many activities for families and children beyond, of course, the pool and the beaches. A boat ride on the Guadiana River or the Ria Formosa lagoon can be fascinating, or just a boat ride to the beaches on the offshore islands is a treat. Most restaurants are very family friendly. The Ria Formosa Nature Reserve has a lovely educational walking trail explaining the ecosystem of the Reserve. There is also a centre for the preservation of the Portuguese water dog at the Reserve. For larger family groups, I can offer not only this apartment, but also two others owned by friends. One shares the ground floor with this apartment. The other is in an adjacent building. In total the three apartments can sleep 14 people comfortably (no folding beds or sofa beds). Please see property numbers 58228 and 58754 for details about these accommodations. Arrangements for all three apartments can be made with one reservation through the agents. See contact section below.

Golf Information:

As a golfer myself, I can truly say that this apartment is ideally suited for golfers - 8 minutes from the top rated Quinta da Ria/Quinta da Cima courses, and 3 minutes from the more relaxing Benamor course. Castro Marim golf is just 15 minutes away and the famous courses at Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo are easily reached in 30 to 45 minutes via the A22 motorway. Or cross over to Spain and play the new Esuri course about 20 minutes away via the A22 motorway. The apartment´s controlled access garage also means you can relax and leave the clubs safely in the boot of the car at the end of your golfing day. For groups of golfers, I can offer not only this apartment, but also two others owned by friends. One shares the ground floor with this apartment and the other is in an adjacent building. In total the three apartments can sleep 14 people comfortably (no folding beds or sofa beds). Please see property numbers 58228 and 58754 for details about these accommodations. Arrangements for all three apartments can be made with one reservation through the agents. See contact section below.
