The Algarve / East Algarve region
The Eastern Algarve is a beautiful unspoilt area, with miles of uncrowded golden beaches, ancient Moorish towns and picturesque villages.
BEACHES in the eastern Algarve are wide, sandy and safe for children, with the EC Blue Flag for cleanliness. The nearest beach is about 12 minutes drive from Casa Santolina. Refreshments and meals, sun-beds and parasols, are available on all local beaches. Particularly beautiful is Tavira Island which can be reached by a short ferry ride. Most local beaches are within the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, famed for its flamingoes, rare birds and plants.
The Spanish border is only thirty minutes drive from Casa Santolina, and historic Seville is 1.5 hours drive and, with its ancient palaces, cathedrals and riverside parks and cafes, is well worth a visit.
Three 18-hole Golf courses, within 10 minutes drive of Casa Santolina: Quinta da Ria, Quinta da Cima, and Benamor. (Please contact owner for full details of golf courses)
Distances from Santolina: Nearby village of Santo Estevao is 3 mins drive. Medieval Tavira is 6 mins drive. Spain is only 30 mins away, and Seville is 1.5 hours drive.

Guestbook for CASA SANTOLINA, Santo Estevao.
A very enjoyable stay in a well kitted out and comfortable villa, full of character and style. We have been very please with our choice of villa. We loved the décor and the terrace and pool. Thanks for organising this little corner of paradise. Dr L & R McLennan, N.Zealand.
I can say without any reservation, that we enjoyed our stay in Tavira very much. It was a great pleasure to stay in your house, that is so well cared for in every aspect. It invokes relaxation and well-being! Our boys loved the pool - and the lighted water in the night was truly spectacular. Bruun family (Denmark)
We have had a great holiday. The villa (Casa Santolina) is fantastic! Tastefully furnished and very well-equipped – we couldn’t have wished for anything better. R & K Fisher.
We had a fantastic time at the villa, which was beyond our expectations in cleanliness and general facilities. K & K Phipps
