Parking is easy with a shaded carport and additional parking within the fenced property. Groceries can be taken directly from the car to the kitchen. The whole complex is virtually stairless, except for the gallery and the roof terrace.
Fantastic beaches, interesting places to visit, shopping facilities and typical restaurants are close by, but a car is highly recommended.
Children are very welcome at Villa Alegres!
Important!
A Tourist TAX of € 2,- per person ( aged 16 years and over) and day is payable by site, but only for the first 5 nights. This means a additional cost of € 10,- per person and stay
Location
The villa is set in beautiful countryside on the outskirts of Fuseta. The property is quiet but not far from the N125, making it easy to get to Tavira (the pearl of the Algarve), Faro, Olhão or Moncarapacho.
Fuseta is attached to Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, between Faro and Spanish border, where the landscape is still unspoilt and natural. Fuseta is a typical Portuguese fishing village with traditional restaurants, a small fishing port and a great beach bar right on the Praia da Fuseta. The beautiful promenade with small pubs and the pedestrian area are popular with locals and tourists. For your daily shopping there is a market hall, shops, and a bakery. The centre of Fuseta is only a 3-minute drive (2km) from Villa Alegres.
Those who have read the book "Lost in Fuseta" by Gil Ribeiro will recognize the atmosphere of the place and the people. Regardless, all guests enjoy the gracious friendliness with which the locals treat everyone.
The holiday home is also only 2.5 km from the nearest beach, Praia da Fuseta. A ferry takes you to the sandbank off the mainland (about €2 return, children half price), from where you can quickly reach other miles of lonely beaches and the open Atlantic Ocean.
The Quinta da Ria golf course is only a short drive away, and there are also many other superb Golf courses in the region.
Environment / Sustainability
The owners attach great importance to the conservation of resources and have carried out extensive renovations in 2022/2023 to make the house almost completely carbon neutral. More than 90% of the house's electricity is now generated in an environmentally friendly way by its own photovoltaic system, and a modern heat pump is used for hot water and heating in the winter months.
