The Experience
Quintamar sits in the Ria Formosa among lovely farmland. Trees surround yet you’re a 15-minute walk to a boat (summer only) or train to the sand-spit beaches – reputedly the finest in Portugal. Rent bikes from the neighbours and set off for the day; there are miles of coastline to explore.
Free-range meat and veg boxes can be purchased – cook up a delicious picnic and eat with a big grin on your face. Bird watching, dolphin spotting, paddle boarding and kite surfing will fill your days with memories that will last a very long time.
For late arrivals Tamar can leave you some breakfast supplies. There are heaps of seafood restaurants in the fishing village of St Luzia. Let the kids roam the wooden pirate ship, baseball pitch and sandpit whilst you rest your bones on a sun lounger next to the pool. If you fancy an evening sampling the restaurants in the nearby town, ask Tamar about her babysitting service.

Surrounded by flowers, peacocks and frogs in the beautiful natural swimming lake. My extended family stayed in all of the beautiful apartments, houses and summer house, it was just perfect to all be able to be together but have our own space as well. The setting is truly amazing and conveniently situated a short stroll from Santa Luzia. Tami, the owner was super. Nothing was too much trouble and she even welcomed us back when there was a power cut and our flight was cancelled! Would highly recommend. Kids of all ages and my family enjoyed every moment at Quintamar.

A magical retreat in nature! Quinta Pomar was an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease. The host took such great care of us with genuine warmth and attention. You can truly feel the love and dedication that has gone into every detail of this place. From the thoughtfully furnished house to the well-tended garden and the stunning natural swimming pond, which had a special charm. The surrounding nature is breathtaking – perfect for unwinding, Everything described on the Sawdays website was exactly as promised – or even better!

Again we spent a lovely family holiday at Quintamar last spring. Actually we love this time of the year as it is all green with lots of flowers. And, not to forget, it's the time when the bee eaters are breeding. I love theses colorful birds, even more colorful than the peacocks at Quintamar. It is a lovely place, we enjoyed the peacefulness at the swimmingpool, gazing over the landscape, listening to the ocean and loved the the fruits and vegetables from the farm. Tamar is a very friendly and helpful host as well. We will definitely come back to this littole paradise.

We spent a lovely fortnight with our kids age 9 and 17 at Quintamar. Good thing about the place. Very friendly and helpful owner Tamar. The kids were busy with exploring the nature around the house and feeding the animals, the trampoline. Still very warm in October. Actually we were only 2 times at the nearby sea. The natural swimming pool in front of the house was too inviting . :-) We will get back next year.

Quintamar has become our favorite place to get away and wind down from the city life. We are a family of 4. Our kids are 3 and 6. It's enough to just be sitting net to the natural pool within the beauty of nature while the kids are. Tamar, you will be seeing us again next year. Thanks again for the wonderful stay and again the great service. Peter and Anaya with Sanjay and Mary

Location
The neighbourhood
Amongst olive and almond groves - you feel away from it all, yet you’re a ten-minute stroll to St Luzia with a choice of shops and restaurants. Sample the octopus; the town is famous for it! Next stop: Taviria for a day exploring cobbled streets on the banks of the slow-flowing Gilão River. Take the unique train ride across the river to Barril beach for a day among the sand dunes.
Local points of interest from Tamar Welti
- Unspoilt nature surroundings with walking tracks on the ecovia, which runs parallel with the coast along the length of the Algarve.. Beautiful wildlife, flora and fauna to be discovered
- Tavira, the pearl of the Algarve, within 5 minutes car drive away. Great fish restaurants and street cafes...Summer festivities include open air cinema festival in july and august, street theatre and live concerts plus many craft markets and fairs
- Beautiful unspoilt beaches awarded the 'blue flag' for cleanliness. Dunes and many kilometre stretches of white sand beaches, reached by mini train to Barril beach all year round or by small ferry to Terra Estreita Santa Luzia beach, from april to october
- Our organic farm products are sold in a local cooperative stall in the market of Tavira and can be ordered directly from the farm and delivered to your house or picked up.
- We currently have peacocks, pigs, ducks, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, pigeons, turtles, fish and cats....most of these live in the animal enclosure or at the farm, though the peacocks and fan tail pigeons are free and the cats live in the owners house
- Santa Luzia has great fish restaurants, mini supermarkets and cafes and bars and is within 10 minutes walk. Tavira is 30 minutes walk away. This area is ideal for walking and cycling. It is not essential to hire cars.

Introducing
Tamar Welti
Owner Tamar is happy to arrange yoga, scuba diving, dolphin trips, kitesurfing, small weddings and special events, bike hire and transport. She can also supply an organic hamper with a bit of notice.
Such a lovely and special place. We have visited several times over the years and it goes from strength to strength. The newer Quinta Pomar site is really perfectly set up for hosting events, and both sites are a great place to relax and unwind, surrounded by nature but with all amenities. Thoroughly recommended for a truly memorable and enjoyable stay and we hope to return soon.
