Distances
Quinta Encantadora is ideally situated for exploring the whole of the Algarve.

There are also banks, a post office, a pharmacy, a petrol station, an internet cafe and some excellent and very reasonably priced restaurants. Two tennis courts within 10 mins of the house are available for hire.
Further details
Olhao (15 mins) a large fishing port to the east and Tavira (20 mins) an attractive historic town to the west, are both well worth a visit for their larger selection of shops, banks, markets and excellent restaurants where you will find locally caught fresh fish served daily. The capital of the Algarve, Faro, has a large shopping mall and a number of very large supermarkets. Here you will also find a very attractive pedestrianised shopping area close to the Marina, where there are many smaller stylish boutiques and restaurants. A visit across the border to Spain approx 35 mins drive, will provide a complete change of culture. The two closest towns Ayamonte and Lepe and their beaches, are both worth a visit as is Seville, which is only 1½ hours away.
