Further details
The property is reached from the main road by a country lane (tarmac) which then continues towards the beach. Inside the gates, the Quinta is approached by a long gravel driveway lined with trees, at the end of which there is plenty of parking space. The perimeter is well fenced and hedged. Quinta Bavaria has been praised by birdwatchers for the number of species seen whilst simply sitting on the patio! The surrounding area provides habitat to an abundance of bird and wildlife and is perfect for walkers, ramblers and birdwatchers alike.
The resident English owners maintain the property to a high standard and keep an apartment for their own use. They are on hand if needed, but all the facilities remain for the sole use of guests.
