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

Local Info

Luz da Tavira: Located less than 5 minutes by car from the villa, this is where you can get all your basic supplies. There is a market where you can buy fresh fish, meat, vegetables and fruit. The houses in Luz de Tavira have the traditional 'platibandas' borders painted with geometrical or floral motifs, that frame walls, windows and doorways - many of which are masterpieces of mortar work. The influence of the Art Nouveau decorative style, popular at the beginning of the century is apparent in the ornate chimneys rising from the roofs. The main church was built in the 16th century; much of the original structure has survived to the present day. The imposing Renaissance porch takes up large part of the main facade. The roofs of the three naves are hidden by an original and highly decorative ensemble made up of one semi-circular and two triangular pediments.

Golf Information:

Casa Do Sitio Do Pinherio is a fantastic launching pad to all the golf courses in the area. 3 courses are all within 25 of Villa. Benamor Golf: This course. designed by Sir Henry Cotton, is the first golf course to open east of the capital of the Algarve, Faro, and lies just outside of Tavira. The course is an undulating one, although not excessively so, offering views over the mountains to one side and the sea to the other. Quinta da Ria: This spectacular 18 hole golf course is in the Ria Formosa Natural Park and spreads along an almost flat surface of 660.000 m2 down to the Ria Formosa itself, hanging over it and with a stunning view of the sea. Colina Verde: The Colina Verde is a small inland 9-hole course situated in Maragota, between the coast and the Algarvian mountain range. Castro Marim: The recently built course is part of a truly exceptional tourist development, designed to provide unforgettable moments of leisure. It has a very special setting in the peaceful atmosphere of the eastern Algarve Quinta de Cima: A Championship style course of great character. Running through the stunning layout is a series of lakes connected by a stream, which the architect has skillfully incorporated as an added challenge.
