Quinta do Ruperto is situated on a quiet sandy lane. It is quite secluded ( a few old Portuguese houses further down the lane), but a short drive to Moncarapacho or Quelfes. The traditional fishing port of Olhao is ten minutes away, with its resident storks, marina, ferry to the islands and fresh vegetable markets. The nature reserve of Ria Formosa is close by too. Highly recommended. The unspoilt and uncrowded beaches of eastern algarve are also within easy reach as are the Historic towns of Tavira and Faro. Inland, you can visit the cork oak, strawberry trees and Portugal's amazing wild flowers and bird life.
