Villa located amidst an orange orchard in the quiet village of Quelfes, halfway between Olhão (4 km) and Moncarapacho (3 km), 10 km from the beaches of Falésia and Faro. The beaches of Culatra, Armona, Farol and Ilha Deserta are less populated, as they are only accessed by ferry from Olhão. Ferry schedule changes along the year and is available at the harbour. Vale de Lobo and Tavira are the nearest golf greens, and water sports like windsurf, sailing, water ski and jet ski are available at the surrounding beaches. Rental information is available at the club Grupo Naval de Olhão. Olhão market only closes on Sunday, and there is a wide choice of open air markets almost every day of the week in the surrounding villages. It is 12 km to Faro airport.

The town of Olhão is essentially and historically linked to the local fishing industry and only grew into existence as a significant location in the 17th Century. It has about 30,000 inhabitants and was raised to the status of a town as a result of their actions in 1808.
The town lies on the coast reasonably close to Faro and at the end of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. Architecturally the town is well known for an older quarter where the flat terraced roofs and straight box-shaped chimneys show a definite Moorish flavour in their style. Another important curiosity to the visitor is the fish market held every day in a long building on the waterfront. Each morning there is a lively atmosphere and the impressively large variety of fish offered by the local catch is displayed to tempt the local housewife.
Travelling east from Olhão is the small sea village of Fuseta with the ruined remains of a what was once a castle and some older similar architectural style houses. To the north in the countryside is the small village of Moncarapacho with a 16th Century Church with a local museum next door. On the nearby hill named Cerro da Cabeça there is a popular grotto named after the village. From the town of Olhão there is a boat ferry service that takes visitors to the nearby very small islands of Ilha da Culatra and Ilha da Armona. With their un-spoilt sandy beaches and virtual lack of construction these islands act as a pleasant contrast to the noise and bustle of the main coast.
