The Quinta da Saudade

One of things that makes The Quinta so unique is it's history. The land on which The Quinta stands was originally a working fruit farm ('Quinta' is Portuguese for 'farm'). The main buildings of The Quinta have been converted from the original farmhouse and outbuildings. The villas were then built on the side of the valley above the main buildings so that they have an uninterrupted view across the valley.

The Quinta

The Quinta da Saudade lies in a valley approximately 5 miles West of Albufeira and just a 40 minute drive from the airport at Faro. It is situated in open countryside surrounded by farmland and, towards the sea, a nature reserve. Naturally the views are fantastic!
Apart from Albufeira the closest towns are Armacao de Pera to the West, and Guia to the North, both a mere 3 miles away.

The Beaches - The Algarve is rightly famous for it's beaches and just over a mile from The Quinta are two of the most fabulous stretches of sand in the area. Reached by foot or, more usually, by a 10 minute ar ride, the beaches are almost never crowded and completely devoid of hotels or complexes. There are however a number of excellent beach bars which serve lunch and dinner.

Now, fully equipped for the perfect holiday location, with pools, tennis court, restaurant and bars, The Quinta still retains it's character as a truly rural location whilst being within easy reach of all the amenities one can wish for.

It is no understatement to say that The Quinta is truly unique as it manages to provide every facility the discerning holidaymaker could want in a haven of natural unspoilt beauty.
