Quinta da Arte is located some 11km from Tavira, which is the closest big town. The beautiful and antique Town with over 30 churches, and the oriental feeling in its streets, the antique Moorish influences and the castle from the 13th century, gives its visitors perspectives of past centuries. It is pleasant to walk through town, to chat to the locals, and to guess the proximity of the ocean. The town separated through the River “Gilao”, has charm and beauty and combines successfully modern and antique architecture. The market hall with lively busy times, fresh fish, vegetable, and fruit shops invites to stay and in the many cafés the “galão” awaits you, the milk coffee. The nearby nature reserve, the “Ria Formosa”, the long and wide beaches and cosy islands, like Ilha de Tavira, the Island of Armona and others, make Tavira and surroundings an attractive Holiday destination. Very nice as well is the nature around Quinta da Arte with the olive-carob and orange tree plantation.
