This little piece of paradise
is conveniently situated between the villages of St. Estaveo
and Luz de Tavira. A small grocery shop is within walking distance
of the villa, with further supplies and supermarkets in Luz
de Tavira, and St. Esteavao. A welcome pack is provided and
car hire is essential. This is a non-smoking house. All the
bedrooms have ceiling fans with wall controls and every room
has its own thermostatic heating control. This house has been
built to very modern standards using first class insulation
to keep it warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It has a modern
contemporary feel, yet still in-keeping with the beauty of the
local surroundings.
|
|
An emphasis has been made on using natural products wherever possible
with handcrafted windows, doors and finishes by local tradesmen.
The rustic feel is evident the moment you enter the driveway and
walk around the beautiful cobble-stoned pathways. The gardens
are well tended, with palm trees, shrubs, and bougainvillea and
pomegranate hedges. Every orange tree is different from the other,
so fruit ripens at different stages throughout the year.
|
 |
There is nothing better than waking in the morning to freshly
squeezed organic orange or pomegranate juice. In the orchard there
are also a few lemon, fig, apricot and nut trees and of course
a sweet grapevine. It is an entirely un-commercialised, rural
area, full of natural beauty, yet only a short drive to the old
Algarvian town of Tavira, with its wealth of amenities. The fishing
village of Santa Lucia is nearby and not to be missed, renown
for first class restaurants and picturesque waterfront setting.
Famous for its octopus. |

town is also known as the ‘Town of Churches’ since
a remarkable 39 churches and other places of worship lie within
its boundaries.
