VILLA 4A, QUINTA DA SAUDADE

The Quinta da Saudade…..“a beautiful place to stay”
– Nick Knowles, BBC Holiday Hit Squad

The Quinta da Saudade is a small British-run estate of privately-owned villas occupying approximately twenty-four acres about five miles west of Albufeira.

Nestling in the peaceful country setting of an old hillside farm estate and set amid orange, almond and olive trees, the Quinta is about forty-five minutes drive from the Airport at Faro.

The nearest beach, less than two miles away, is a magnificent long stretch of sand, bounded by dunes, where it is always possible to escape the crowds, even in August.

There are two swimming pools, a children’s play area and pool, tennis court, restaurant and bar, mini-golf course, table tennis and petanque.

There are Riding Stables at the Quinta with fabulous horses that can be taken out for gallops across the dunes or slow hacks through the countryside.

There are attractive country walks in the vicinity and there is a wetlands nature reserve nearby with a wealth of bird and plant life not commonly found in the UK.  Purple Heron, Little Bittern, Alpine Swift, Bee Eater, Red Necked Night Jar, Azure Winged Magpie and more.

Accommodation at villa 4A Quinta Da Saudade consists of two twin bedrooms and two bathrooms.  The second bedroom and second bathroom is accessed via outside steps so this particular villa would be unsuitable for families with small children.

There is a well-equipped kitchen. It has a washing machine, fridge/freezer, double sink and microwave oven.

The sitting-room has satellite television and a video recorder and there is a large dining room for entertaining.  For winter occupation, there is a good stove/open fire in the sitting-room.
