Casa Fabrica is a 2 bedroom fisherman's cottage situated in the stunning village of Fabrica on the Eastern Algarve. The cottage is on the bank of the Ria Formosa, one of the last remaining protected areas in the Algarve and a World Heritage site. Yet it is only 0.5 hours drive from Faro airport. Fabrica is a small hamlet that is still home to many working fishermen. It is unspoiled and offers a welcome change from the more built up areas of the Western Algarve. It is home to the restaurant O Costa which is known throughout Portugal for its seafood. Fabrica is located one kilometre from Cacela Velha and its picturesque church on the cliff top. It is adjacent to the Quinta da Ria and Quinta de Cima golf courses and 5 minutes drive from the Benamor Golf Course. The house has just been refurbished and has a brand new bathroom and kitchen. An additional feature is the roof top terrace with pergola, huge BBQ, sink and fridge.

Hiring a car is advisable to get you to and from the airport and also bear in mind that the village has no shops (just a restaurant and daily mobile shops for basic provisions).
Further details
The village is a traditional fishing village. There are mobile shops that visit daily selling fish, meat, bread and milk. However if you miss these then you will need to drive to the nearest supermarket (5 minutes). There is also an excellent restaurant in the village that is known thoughout Portugal for its seafood.
There are many restaurants/bars etc at Tavira, Manta Rota, Vila Nova de Cacela, Conceição and Cabanas - all 5/10 minutes drive away. The nearest food shopping is also in these towns.
You are actually in the Ria Formosa Natural Park which is very popular with birdwatchers.
Tavira (10 minutes) is worth visiting. It was described in The Independent as 'by far the most attractive town in the Algarve'.

Guest comments
'Well, that's our holiday over and back at work. I particularly wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your cottage. We fell in love with it, and Fabrica, in fact the whole area.' Lynn Dobbs - Bristol
'We could not get over the improvements that you have made. We loved the cottage before but with the roof terrace and new kitchen it is just fantastic!' Ken Jones - Richmond, Yorks.
'I am speechless...the house is a marvel; every detail so carefully thought out, and of course Fábrica was magic as usual. It has to be the most beautiful spot on all the eastern Algarvian coast, and this visit confirmed it. Jeannie and I returned relaxed happy and singing your praises.' Sam Chesterton - Huelva, Spain
