Casa Figueira

Figueira means fig tree and refers to the large fig tree at the back of the garden. Casa Figueira is on the ground floor, the second last house on the corner of a popular holiday flat resort 100 metres from the lagoon and a fifteen-minute walk to the nearest beach. The resort has two communal swimming pools with beautiful views over the lagoon. The house and the village of Fuseta offer everything for a comfortable holiday for up to 4 people, both in summer and winter. The house is on the ground floor, has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a large quiet backyard. The kitchen is fully equipped, the mattresses in both bedrooms are from the beginning of 2017, there are air conditioners and mosquito nets in all rooms.
You will have 2 bicycles at your disposal. Everything is also within walking distance and thanks to the train station you would not even need to rent a car to make trips along the Algarvian coast.

Surroundings
Casa Figueira is located in Fuseta, in the middle of the protected nature reserve Ria Formosa (lagoons, dunes, islets and endless beaches).
The charming Fuseta is an original fishing village with a canal to the sea. Nowadays, tourism and fishing go hand in hand. From the harbour, a ferry sails to the island off the coast: all day in summer, a little less often in the early and late season. There is plenty of space on the kilometres of golden beaches and there are two nice beach bars.
Fuseta itself has a cosy beach with a beach bar. The beach is also very suitable for children. There is a good supermarket in the village and there are plenty of nice restaurants, both in the old centre and along the water and the canal. The small market hall next to the fish market is open every day except Sunday for fresh fish, meat and vegetables. Casa Figueira is a 10-minute walk to the centre and the beach. There is also a train station; the train takes you to almost all coastal towns: to the Spanish border, to Tavira or Olhão to Lagos in the West of the Algarve. The coastal towns of Tavira and Olhão are 10 - 15 minutes away by car. From both places, ferries sail to the beautiful islands off the coast. On the quays of both towns you will find good (fish) restaurants and the historic market halls of Olhão are definitely worth a visit. The old centre of Tavira with its many restaurants is very cosy.
