Holiday apartment "Romantica" in the Eastern Algarve

O Pequeno Castelo, the Little Castle, offers two holiday apartments off the beaten track in the Sotavento Algarvio, only 10 min. from the picturesque town of Tavira and the sandy beach of Pedras d'el Rei.
Our well designed and furnished holiday apartment Romantica consists of a bedroom with a queen size bed an an alkoven bed, bathroom, private terrace, kitchen and living room with sofa-bed. Air conditioning, digital satellite TV and wireless internet access complete the comfort. The swimming pool with deckchairs and parasols is at the disposal of all our guests. The Little Castle, with 7000 m² of mainly natural gardens, is situated in a quiet sunny valley on a hill overlooking the sea. Santo Estevão, an idyllic Algarve village with restaurants, shopping facilities, pharmacy, post office, etc. is only a 15-minute walk away.

The Sotavento Algarvio (Eastern Algarve): Everything you dream of in a holiday destination: beautiful beaches, pleasant weather, glorious sunshine in every season. Let the sun guide you on your way to the south of Portugal and discover the Eastern Algarve, a region whose pleasant climate attracts guests all year round. In winter, temperatures rarely drop below 14 degrees, and daytime temperatures of 20-22 degrees usually allow for long walks and sunbathing on the beach. In summer, temperatures climb to 28 - 30 degrees in July and August. Enjoy the coastline with its beautiful white sandy beaches, most of which are located in Europe's unique Ria Formosa nature reserve. The clean, pleasantly temperate water of the Atlantic invites you not only to swim, but also - depending on your mood - to take part in a wide variety of water sports.

Tavira: Close to the beaches of the coast, another Algarve awaits you. The 'Ria Formosa' nature park stretches over a total of 60 km of labyrinth and offers unforgettable walks and boat trips in the company of pink flamingos and other rare bird species. The nature reserve of the marsh of Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo Antonio (about 22 km from our flat), in the estuary of the Guadiana, is also constantly good for a surprise and a more unique place for bird watching. Let yourself be enchanted by the beauty of this Algarve and spend unforgettable days in nature. For culture lovers - and not only for them - the historic town of Tavira is a unique opportunity to be transported to another age. Pure romance. Many cultural events take place throughout the year. Concerts of a high standard are not uncommon.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a stovetop. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as an outdoor pool or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Spacious and comfortable property in a beautiful rural setting.
O Pequeno Castle is a uniquely attractive and comfortable in rural Portugal with nearby access to Taveira and other Algarve communities. Our hosts were friendly and helpful when needed, but they afforded us privacy and peace and quiet for our 10-day stay. It’s a little difficult to find on the winding country roads once you leave the A22 highway, but GPS with a locator from our hosts solved that problem. We would definitely recommend O Pequeno Castle to family and friends who want a quiet refuge from their busy sightseeing.

Posizione tranquilla
Ho trovato il proprietario sempre disponibile a qualsiasi chiarimento sia prima che durante il soggiorno. Nel complesso ci siamo trovati bene ,piscina perfetta. Qualche piccolo suggerimento sfoltire la vegetazione antistante l'entrata per poter far entrare più luce,qualche piccolo problema con formiche e zanzare,appartamento poco spazioso,il condizionatore necessita di qualche piccola manutenzione e pulizia.per il resto appartamento ben accessoriato e la zona piscina ottima

RETIRADO Y TRANQUILO
El apartamento está muy bien, es un poco difícil de llegar pero cuando uno le ha tomado la mano con ayuda del Maps se hace accesible. Quizá la única pega sea la insuficiente iluminación del salón y el sitio de la mesa de comedor que le dan un aspecto algo tristón. La Tv, en aleman, mi novia encantada, yo menos

Adoramos a nossa estadia!
Os 7 dias que estivemos n’O Pequelo Castelo não poderiam ter sido melhores. A casa, apesar de pequena, tinha todos as condições necessárias. Os proprietários foram sempre atenciosos e preocupados com as nossas necessidades. A piscina era um encanto, estava sempre limpa. É uma casa sossegada, super tranquila a 10min de carro do centro de Tavira. De certeza que iremos voltar.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub zu zweit in der Ferienwohnung Romantica (etwas dunkel aber angenehm kühl). Die Kochecke ist klein aber es ist alles da. Die Vermieter wohnen über der Ferienwohnung und sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Pool ist schöner als auf dem Bild und wir waren da die meiste Zeit allein. Die Umgebung bietet genug Ausflugsmöglichkeiten, die Strände (besonders auf der Insel Culatra) sind toll. Man braucht ein Auto. Die Überfahrt mit der Fähre zu den Badeinseln ist einfach, preiswert und es macht Spaß. Danke an Kerstin und Jo, Ihr habt durch Eure Freundlichkeit mit dazu beigetragen, dass der Urlaub für uns so schön war. Grüße Klaus und Regine

Isolé au calme pour se detendre avec une piscine mais tout en étant à quelques km de Tavira. Dommage, l'appartement était un peu sombre et le lit en métal grincait.... Nous avons passé un bon séjour

Wunderschöner Ort für Ruhe und Erholung
An diesem sehr schönen Ort in der Natur kann man wunderbar zur Ruhe kommen. Die Ferienwohnung Romantica ist gut ausgestattet, gemütlich, sauber und gepflegt, wenige Schritte zum erfrischenden Pool. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Tavira) und kilometerlange Sandstrände sind mit dem Auto schnell erreicht. Herr und Frau Knupfer sind sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber! Ich hatte eine wunderschöne Woche und werde gewiss wiederkommen. Vielen Dank!

Die Wohnung war wie beschrieben, die Gastgeber freundlich und hilfsbereit mit guten Tipps für kulinarisches und Unternehmungen. Für die Küche würden wir uns einen Ofen wünschen.
