Special interest holidays
Concern for the environment is the focus of special attention at Quinta do Lago. To maintain the delicate ecological balance within the estate, which is flanked by the Ria Formosa Natural Park, stringent regulations have been implemented by Quinta do Lago SA. A strict, low density master-plan allows for only eight percent of construction of the total area of the estate, ensuring plenty of green space. Private villas, townhouses and village developments are carefully integrated into natural areas, nestling at lakeside, secluded by woodland or flanking the golf courses.

The tidal inlet area that is part of the Ria Formosa is recognized as a wetland of world importance and a natural habitat for rare and endangered species of migrating or nesting birds (IBA - Important Bird Area).

A wide variety of species, as well as other wildlife, can be observed in their natural habitats along Quinta do Lago's two nature trails.

Travel
We recommend that you hire a car to make the most of the facilities in the area. We can arrange a personal meet and greet service from/to the airport in a registered private car and also supply baby/car chairs for the children. We can organise car hire for you with either pickup at the airport or delivery to the villa.

There are lots of activities to enjoy options include horse riding, fishing, yachting/sailing, shark, dolphin watching, 4x4 safari tours and Cultural visits.

Guest comments
We have holidayed here in Villa Natura twice now - that says a lot !!! Everything about this villa is luxury - so clean - so calm - so pretty, We especially enjoy bbqing and eating by the poolside while the children enjoy running about and splashing in the pool. There are a couple of nice restaurants nearby but we prefer to pop down to the beach and enjoy a cocktail while the sun is slipping off on the horizon. Cant wait to come back - can 100% recommend this villa ! thanks Mr & Mrs Denison, Dorset.

About the owner
I am a happily married mum of 3 lovely girls & we live here in the Golden Triangle. We moved here when I started my rental company SandyBlue which also kind of started as an accident ! I was privately renting our properties when I realised that it was becoming busier than I could cope with - so I started my own company called 'sandyblue' it reminds me of what we all want on our holidays - sandy beaches and blue skies. I have a fabulous team working for me now and I know that you will enjoy the personal touch that we like to create from the first moment you make contact all the way through to having your holiday here and popping you back home and hoping that you come back to visit us again. Enjoy looking at our fabulous properties and I look forward to meeting you here in the Algarve.
