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.
On arrival, kind Tamar brings you milk, fruit, rolls and eggs from her hens and 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.

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.

What a lovely place. We had such a relaxing week at Quintamar. The surroundings are beautiful and the natural pool is just fantastic. Easy walk into Santa Luzia for choice of great restaurants. Would highly recommend.
