Location: Silves < Algarve < Portugal

Quinta Julia is ideally situated 3km from the historic Moorish town of Silves, in central Algarve which is the most southerly area of Portugal. It is just 45 minutes from Faro International airport. Visitors to Silves will be impressed by the castle and cathedral as well as the first class restaurants, pavement cafes and bars, and excellent shopping facilities with a wonderful market selling organic fresh fruit and vegetables and meat & fish products is a joy to explore. The beach resort of Armacao de Pera is only 15 minutes away, offering a good choice of bars and fish restaurants set on miles of golden sands with water sports and shaded sunbeds. Close-by there are many stunning secluded 'secret' coves, like Marinha, where you can chill out with a good book or simply soak up the sun for that perfect tan. For the adventurous you are less than 10 minutes away from some fabulous water parks where you will find scary white knuckle rides as well as more gentle slides aimed at toddlers.
