Fazenda Nova is located in the heart of the Eastern Algarve, near the beautiful historic coastal town of Tavira and stunning coastline and beaches. Originally a Portuguese country house, the Fazenda Nova was renovated to combine a modern style with traditional architecture and features. Tavira sits on the river Gilao with a plethora of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants for guests to peruse. In the centre by the Roman bridge, is an amphitheatre which plays host to a variety of summer concerts and festivals. Tavira is an attractive town with grand buildings, a central square, pretty gardens and places to sit. The coastline falls within the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a great spot for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts. The estuary of the Formosa forms a series of islands - Farol, Culatra, Armona, Tavira and Fuseta – which are all fabulous places to take a boat trip and just let the hours pass by with the stunning island life. The area is filled with so much to discover and do. All of the towns and villages offer visitors something different - the coastline in particular is truly beautiful and worth exploring. In addition to this, Olhao, Fuseta, Santa Luzia, Santa Catarina are also all special places to visit, whether it be heading to the markets, up into the hills, taking a stroll by the waterfront, a water taxi to the Islands, or even just sitting with a beverage watching the world pass by. Fazenda Nova, formerly a family home and farm, sits on ten hectares of land, with its own orchard, vegetable and herb gardens. During the spring months, it is abundant with wild flowers growing among almond, carob and olive trees. The cleverly-designed simple and romantic gardens which surround both the house and annexes were created by a noted local landscaper. With a series of paths which lead guests to undiscovered, wilder arears offering the space to reflect, relax and even study the bird life. The shady areas are the perfect location for settling down with a great book. The beautiful gardens which surround Fazenda Nova are tranquil, calm and simply planted, complimenting both the house and its leisurely ambience.
