Accommodation and Facilities for the apartment in the Algarve, Portugal

Beaches

The beach of Monte Gordo is the sun worshippers paradise with white expansive sands and good water for swimming. Located directly in front of the apartments, the beach can be reached in less than 2 minutes! There are a number of good quality restaurants and bars as well as sun beds and shades for hire. For those who enjoy walking, the neighbouring resorts along the coastline can also be reached. With car hire, the other local beaches are a must to be explored. Heading back Westwards, Praia Verde is highly recommended with a hill top restaurant overlooking the bay - and just next door, Cabeco Beach is largely unspoilt and very peaceful offering uninterrupted sands as far as the eye can see.

Activities and things to do

Monte Gordo itself is primarly a resort for shopping, dining and relaxing, however, by travelling a little further afield there are a good range of things to do to suit all tastes. For nature lovers there are forest walks, cruises along the River Guadiana or nature trails along the Ria Formosa Reserve where bird watching is in abundance! By travelling towards the West there are some excellent shopping centres in Faro and Ghia as well as the famous Water Parks and Zoo Marine (wonderful for children), all easily reached by car (around 45 minutes) or by day trip coach. The Spanish border town of Ayamonte is a mere 10kms away where the delights of another country can be sampled along with wine, Tapas and shopping and can be reached by bus, train, ferry or car. Seville is around 150km. For budding historians, as well as Tavira, Castro Marim Castle is a must. GOLF is also a key feature of this locality with 7 courses within a 20km radius. Special rates and packages available upon request

Tavira town

When staying in Monte Gordo a visit to Tavira is essential and is around 15kms from the apartment. As one of the region's oldest and most attractive places, you cannot fail to be enthralled by its unspoilt charm, character and tranquility. As you wander along the cobbled streets, you'll see an abundance of history. A Roman bridge links the 2 parts of the town across the River Gilao, its sides decorated with traditional old bars and restaurants, there are many churches (37 in total!) to view, along with the town castle, several monuments and the typical fisherman's harbour leading to the River Formosa Natural Park. There is a wonderful daily market selling fresh home grown produce, and the local beach of Tavira is accessible by small ferry boat and boasts excellent facilities and a wonderful holiday atmosphere. Horse drawn carriages and a small train operate around the town and are perfect for seeing all the sights and experiencing the atmosphere of this town where time has stood still!
