Distances
Quinta Encantadora is ideally situated for exploring the whole of the Algarve. The nearest village, Moncarapacho, 5 mins by car offers a variety of shops including a fairly large supermarket 1km, which is open every day from 8.30am to 8pm as well as two or three smaller minimarkets. 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.

Guest comments
What a wonderful time we had at Quinta Encantadora. From our first glimpse of the house from the driveway to the last sad farewell, we could not have asked for a better place to stay. If it was a hotel it would have been 5 star! We would love to visit again in the future.
We had a really great time at Quinta Encantadora, it was everything we had hoped for and more. We especially like the way that you have put all those little finishing touches into the property that make it feel like a home rather than a holiday let.
It was nice to stay somewhere which has everything you would need. It felt more like home than a holiday property. It was particularly well equipped in the kitchen and not having to pack beach towels was a bonus.
You have a lovely property and we wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to family and friends, we really enjoyed our stay, just disappointed that two weeks flew by so quickly.
