Home description
Quinta Bavaria is a wonderful holiday destination for families or couples who want to relax and get away from it all in peaceful surroundings with easy access to Lagos (10 mins by car). Five comfortable one and two bedroom villa-style apartments are set in peaceful, landscaped gardens with beautiful views and a heated pool. Children will love exploring the grounds, playing cricket on the lawn or picking fruit from the orchard, leaving parents free to relax on a sunbed by the heated pool. Evenings can be spent dining by moonlight on your patio or at the poolside picnic area. Surrounded by quiet countryside, Quinta Bavaria is still only a five minute drive from the long stretch of golden sand at Meia Praia beach and from the shops, restaurants and nightlife in the busy picturesque marina town of Lagos.
The apartments are available together or separately and suit individual bookings or family groups of 10 to 16 people, offering the space, privacy and convenience of separate accommodation whilst sharing the beautiful outdoor facilities. Each apartment is individually designed and furnished to a high standard, each offering villa-style space and comfort with its own terrace or balcony overlooking the gardens.

The Algarve / West Algarve region
Local activities within a 10 minute drive include horse riding, tennis, golf, bowls, sailing, boat trips, dolphin watching, deep sea fishing, jeep safaris, scuba diving and microlighting, to mention but a few. The countryside immediately surrounding the Quinta is a paradise for birdwatchers and walkers alike.
A little further afield, on the road to the fishing village of Burgau, there is a sports centre offering tennis, squash, aerobics and a gym. There are two waterslide parks within easy reach and a visit to the Zoo Marine park is a must - swim with dolphin in a safe, controlled environment.
A short drive north-west through the picturesque countryside leads to the wild and rugged West coast where deserted, secluded beaches can still be found even in the height of summer. A drive inland from Odiáxere through olive groves and eucalyptus trees leads to the crystal clear waters of the Bravura Dam. A trip to Monchique with its picturesque spa town takes about 45 minutes through scenic countryside. A little further on is Foia, the highest point on the Algarve, where cool mountain air brings relief from the sun-drenched beaches and from where the views are spectacular. Discover villages in the area which have remained untouched for centuries.
Lagos area
With its castle walls, narrow, cobbled streets, pottery shops and numerous pavement cafes from which to watch the world go by, Lagos has a relaxed atmosphere and quiet charm, making it one of the most appealing locations in the Algarve.
The ancient castle walls , built in the 16th century, used to completely surround the city, but most of Lagos and its walls were destroyed in the great earthquake of 1755. At the entrance to the harbour, the recently restored 17th Century fortress is worth a visit. Heading west from the fortress, a scenic cliff top path stretches for several miles along a string of tiny beaches and rock formations, offering beautiful views of the coastline along the way. To the East, across the river, is 4km long Meia Praia beach. Long ago, many naval battles were fought in its bay.

It is surrounded by both terraced and grassed sunbathing areas with sun umbrellas, chairs and comfortable loungers from which to enjoy the unspoilt views towards the Monchique hills.
The property is reached from the main road by a country lane (tarmac) which then continues towards the beach. Inside the gates, the Quinta is approached by a long gravel driveway lined with trees, at the end of which there is plenty of parking space. The perimeter is well fenced and hedged. Quinta Bavaria has been praised by birdwatchers for the number of species seen whilst simply sitting on the patio! The surrounding area provides habitat to an abundance of bird and wildlife and is perfect for walkers, ramblers and birdwatchers alike.
