The Algarve / East Algarve region

Set in Southern Portugal the unspoilt Eastern Coast of the Algarve is a paradise of deep blue seas, fine golden beaches and natural lagoons stretching far into the horizon. There are beautiful empty beaches with sands that go on forever, fields of orange trees heavy with the scent of blossom and hills of fig and almond trees await you.

The Algarve is world renowned as a major golfing and leisure destination and the East Algarve boasts some of the most enviable golf courses in Portugal including Benamar, Quinta da Ria, Quinta da Cima and the new Jack Nicklaus course at Monte Rei which are all located along the east coast.

The Tavira / Quinta de Pegada area

Tavira...Known as 'The Little Venice of Portugal' lies 20 minutes west from the Spanish Boder...It is a picturesque town of cobble lock streets, wrought iron balconies and tiled facade buildings built on the River Gilao and spanned by it's historic Roman Bridge. Tavira town has retained it's charm of a traditional Portuguese fishing village bursting with old style character and romanticism. Tavira's a long way from disco heaven and the best thing to do is follow the local lead. Go out late, eat and then stroll through the town, stopping off at any of the scores of tiny bars or classy pastelarias. The centre of Tavira radiates from the pedestrianised open air ampi theatre beside the town hall. Here Tavira's council runs a series of nightly concerts throughout the summer featuring a broad range of music from jazz and baroque classical, you can sit and enjoy free local entertainment in the lazy summer evenings along with the local folk. Praca Dr Padinha (The Bishop's Triangle) is fertile ground for late night drinks and people watching.

Pegada is a private residential estate combining luxury apartments and private villas. It is located only a 10 minute stroll from the centre of Tavira making it an ideal base for your holiday on the east Algarve.. The estate is maintained to the highest standards at all times and the apartments are maintained by private managment companies. There is a good community spirit with neighbours looking out for each other and is largely made up of retired British ex-pats.

The Ilha de Tavira Beach can be reached by a short water-taxi or ferry from the pier down town. One of the best beaches along the entire coast, 7Km's of clean safe bathing complimented by a few cafes and bars, plenty of room to stretch out. Those with a car can journey out to further delights, within 10 mins drive there are a selection of blue flag beaches including, Cabanash, Manta Rota, Cacela Velha, Altura, and Monte Gordo. Remarkable un-developed and all are serviced with Board Walk, Parking and Good Facilities. Or head to Santa Luzia where you can catch a small train to Barrill Beach-truly awesome and a wonderful experience for children.

The Tavira Plaza opening June 2009 will host a wide selection of shops, resteraunts and large cinema complex. Faro town and Villa Real San Antonio can be reached by local train service for as little as 2Euro pp. The train platform known as the 'Porta Nova' is located across the main road from the estate of Pegada.

If you fancy a day sailing on board a 43ft luxury yacht then we can recommend a good friend who organises events for guests - At 9.00am, you will be picked up by car from your residence, then from Club Nautico you will be ferried out to Samo. Once aboard and familiarized with the boat, we prepare the boat to sail along to the Faro/Olhao entrance of the Ria Formosa where we drop anchor and serve a delicious lunch. With chilled wine or beer to hand, a warm breeze wafting across the deck, and the midday sun restrained by the boat’s large sun shade, one has to ask “Can life get better than this?”. Spirits refreshed, its time to weigh anchor and with a good afternoon breeze we head back apace. Deep blue sky, turquoise sea and glistening wave tops stretch out ahead for our homeward journey. But before we sight Tavira’s welcoming harbour entrance, if a dolphin or two choose to swim with us for a while then that can only be a bonus. Back on our mooring, you willl be ferried ashore and taxied back home in time for supper

“Lovely modern high quality appartment” Tavira is a very pretty town we would like to keep quiet about to prevent over-commercialisation. The appartment is only 15 mins walk away and beautifully appointed, lots of space and very comfortable.

“Bright,spacious home away from home” In early July 2011, two friends and I enjoyed a wonderful holiday in Tavira staying in this apartment in Pegada. We arrived very late but were warmly welcomed on arrival by Fiona. The apartment was... more

Guestbook for Quinta de Pegada

Wow, what a lovely apartment, we really enjoyed our stay. Tavira is gorgeous and the boat trips to the island were a real novelty for us and the kids. Really enjoyed the restaurants you recommended and will definitely be back. Brendan

Your apartment is exquisite, we have never stayed in such luxury. I think you have found a piece of paradise with Tavira. Loved the leisurely stroll down town each day, we had a local shop make up some rolls for us each day and off we went to Ilha de Tavira, such a lovely beach and almost empty for July. We particularly enjoyed the return trips to town in the evening watching the beautiful sunsets. Anne and Friend.

Our family had a great time at your apartment. Home from home and better. Really beautiful, spacious apartment . Thanks for everything hope to visit again soon. Marie and Family.

We had a lovely time in Tavira. Your apartment is beautiful and so big. We have never stayed in such a luxury apartment before. We enjoyed the short walk down town and a taxi home in the evening was only 3.60Euro . Excellent resteraunt recommendations. We will be back again. Thanks again. John Kelly.

We loved your apartment ,it is beautiful, everything we needed and more. We loved everything about Tavira and the beach at Ilha de Tavira is just like a paradise island. The location of your apartment was perfect with the Porta Nova Train Station across the road from the estate, this was so convenient for us and it gave us the freedom to have a few day trips to other areas for very little! eg. train to Faro was only 2Euro.

Fiona, we loved your apartment, home from home and more. The children enjoyed the stay also and it was particularly wonderful to have the satellite tv channels and dvd player when the kids needed a break from the sun. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony and having some wine. The new Gran Plaza Shopping Centre was fantastic with some lovely shops and excellent supermarket and foodhall. Tavira is a charming little town and will surely be back again.~ Eileen~

We had a marvellous holiday in Tavira. We found your apartment to be just perfect. The build quality is excellent and your taste in decor superb. Your rep's were most helpful and attentive. We followed your recommendations for eating out and were not disappointed. The train service at the Porta Nova is very handy as we were able to make some day trips to Faro and Villa Real San Antonio.~Brian~

Thanks for the use of the apartment-it is top quality. We had an excellent time over the two weeks, the weather was as good as it gets and the food in the resteraunts you suggested delicious.~Martin~

We really enjoyed our holiday in Tavira The Apartment was better than we expected and we would happily use it again and would recommend it to others. We tried most of the restaurants and cafes you recommeded, we particularly enjoyed the Ponto De Encontro. The weather could not have been better. We
were swimming in the sea at Barril Beach and Ilha Tavira, which I did not expect to do in October.~Mike~

We enjoyed our holiday in Tavira, inspite of the weather. We never expect glorious sunshine in Jan/Feb but do find we need a car more that time of year. Your apartment was lovely and so well equipped, and we did like the new blankets! We do like Portugal, particularly the Algarve, and although we have been going for the past 10 years there is still plenty to see and do, so if we are considering Tavira again we will certainly be in touch,Mary & Neville Davies

Thanks again for the use of your apartment, we had a great time, everything we needed was supplied, Ideal for Tavira town and all our old haunts, Your reps were very helpful and nice, hope to book again in the not too distant future. Thanks again ~ Roger ~
