Visit Algarve...

Casa do Cerro is located just to the east of the town of Sao-Bras de Alportel, and on the road to Tavira. A large international supermarket can be found just 1 kilometre from the villa. Loule is also close by with its busy market and excellent shopping, bars and restaurants. 

10 minutes from the motorway and twenty minutes from Faro International Airport means that nowhere is very far away. Spain is less than half an hour away with Seville and Lisbon also within comfortable driving distance.

The best beaches on the Algarve are to the east of the fishing town of Olhao and stretch all the way to Spain. The beaches at Manta Rota east of Tavira are simply stunning. A twenty to thirty minute drive through the breathtaking Algarve hills will get you there.
