Our holiday home Casa Flor do Mar is located in Arroteia - a small village settlement by the sea between Faro and Tavira on the south coast of Portugal in the Ria Formosa nature reserve. It is known for its island landscape, the many rare bird, plant and animal species. For nature lovers the heart is open. The house with its small garden, in which lemons grow, is located in a very "normal" housing estate.
On the terraces facing the garden - covered with a pergola - and on the upper floor in front of the large bedroom as well as on the roof terrace, you can enjoy the open air all year round. There are also other private holiday homes in the area. Tourist new buildings and hotel complexes like in the Western Algarve: No chance!
Dunes with endless sandy and bathing beaches
Casa Flor do Mar is only a three minute walk from the Wadden Sea. The offshore islands with dunes and endless sandy beaches and bathing beaches can be reached at low tide by canoe or on foot. Mudflat walks through sandbanks and tideways are an experience. At the beach Pedras d'el Rei, only a few kilometres away, you can take a small train to the offshore island Ilha de Tavira or walk there.
At the very well-kept bathing beach there is everything what belongs to the beach life as the rental of deck chairs, parasols etc. The nearby fishing village of Fuzeta is particularly beautiful, from where you can reach the island of Armona with its wonderful sandy beaches in ten minutes by boat in summer. With all the comfort that the beaches offer: nature and tranquillity have not let you take the reins! Relaxation without rush? If you are looking for that, you will find it here!
