Casa Branquinha is only 45 minutes drive from Faro airport, 15 minutes from the nearest town, Albufeira, and 10 minutes from the nearest beach. Although simply furnished, the villa is well equipped and private. There is an automatic washing machine, TV with satellite receiver and a wood burning stove for winter comfort. Maid service is provided. The villa is part of a private development with access to two swimming pools and a tennis court.
Quinta da Saudade is a well established, British run, development. Set in lovely grounds with colourful gardens, it has been a select holiday destination, in both Winter and Summer, for 30 years. There is a friendly environment where families can meet each other and enjoy themselves around the pools and in the bar and restaurant. Just below, looking over the roof of the pool bar, is the lower pool, where children can play to their hearts' content. )
The upper pool, lower left, is just above the villa and is an ideal place to relax and sunbathe. For the energetic, there is also a tennis court. Close to the development, there are several attractive walks, and there is a wetlands nature reserve with a wealth of bird and plant life not commonly found in the UK.
The local beach, upper left, has a car park and café just out of shot and there are pleasant walks along the coastline, with the option of popping down to the local beach-bar for refreshment, when needed.
The local 18 hole golf course is only 10 minutes drive from the villa. Next to the course is a wetland area which is a birdwatcher's paradise. Archaeological sites abound, and there are many old churches and castles to explore. Youngsters will enjoy a trip to the local zoomarine and waterslide, and the local pottery, Porches, is also well worth a visit.
