The villa is within the quiet village of Quatrim do Sul between the fishing town of Olhao to the west and the historic town of Tavria to the east. The villa provides a great place to relax if you just want to chill by the pool, look at the view and cook sardines on the barbecue! - and also provides a base from which to explore the coast and beaches, inland countryside and the surrounding towns. Casa Jardim Formosa is around 30 minutes drive east from Faro airport. The village is south of the N125 - check out the map to see how close to the sea we are!

Accessibility
The ground floor would be suitable for those with limited mobility although perhaps not wheelchair friendly - the gravel drive might pose a problem and there are a couple of low steps on the pool terrace.
Outside
The garden is fully enclosed and gated and is landscaped with fruit trees (lowquats, olives, almonds, lemons, kumquats, figs, mango, oranges, etc). There are lawned and terraced areas, both covered and uncovered. The villa is situated on high ground and has fabulous and uninterrupted views across lagoons to the Atlantic.
Coast/Beach
The beaches in the Eastern Algarve are nowhere near as crowded as those in the west - they are beautiful too - long, sandy and secluded. Favourites include Cabanas just beyond Tavira which is reached by small fishing boat; Pedras del Rei reached either on foot or by miniature train; Fuseta reached by ferry; Quarteira where you can park your car on the sand and lunch on fresh sardines in the adjacent restaurant.
Golf
We are not golfers ourselves, but there are courses close by near Tavira (about 15 mins away) and also in the "Golden Triangle" to the west of Faro (about 40 mins away).
Travel
Faro is the nearest international airport (about 20km or 30 minutes drive) although we have used Seville (about 1½ hour drive on the motorway). We recommend hiring a car so you can get about easily. The bus service along the N125 is very good but would be followed by a 1-2km walk to the villa! If you prefer not to hire a car, please ask us for details of a taxi service from Faro airport which is bookable in advance (to avoid being overcharged).
Distances
Olhao is the nearest town (about 3 km) with a great waterfront marketplace and good supermarkets. Tavira to the east is about 15 mins drive; Faro Shopping to the west is about 25 mins drive. There are two excellent pottery shops within a couple of kilometers of the villa. Waterparks can be found to the west, beyond Faro - approx 40/45 minutes drive away and are well worth a visit!
Further details
Olhao has a good variety of the usual shops - pharmacies, paper shops selling English papers, banks, a post office, etc. There are good local restaurants (Olhao, Moncarapacho, Tavira) - and the local food is excellent.

Guest comments
'We have just returned from our holiday in your lovely villa. The location, pool and weather were all glorious, we all had a very good time. We have had a number of 'villa' holidays over the years and thought your 'folder' was a brilliant idea, very informative and perfect as we had not explored this part of the Algarve before. As per one of your recommendations we went to 'Antonio's' and had a fabulous meal.'
