VILLA 8A, 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.

Villa 8a is a spacious two bedroom air-conditioned villa that has recently benefited from refurbished bathrooms and updated furnishings.

Accommodation at the villa consists of one double bedroom with en-suite shower room and a twin bedroom with separate bathroom.

There is a well-equipped kitchen.  Amongst its equipment is a washing machine, fridge/freezer and microwave oven.

The sitting-room has an internet enabled television which has access for clients to log into their own Netflix, Amazon, iPlayer, ITV & Apple TV accounts.  Wireless internet is available from the Office on request.  Full internet will be installed soon

For winter occupation, there is a good stove/open fire in the sitting-room and a portable radiator.

The sitting-room has sliding doors which lead to large terrace with a built in BBQ and a shaded dining area.  There are tables and chairs for eating out as well as sun loungers and umbrellas.

Bedding and towels are provided but not towels for the beach or pools.

The Villa benefits from a covered car port which is particularly useful in the hot summer months.  Please note that access to the villa is by several steps which would make it unsuitable for wheelchair users.

The villa has maid service several times during the week.  Electricity and logs are also inclusive, except for November through to March.
