Casa Fabrica is a two bedroom fisherman's cottage situated in the stunning village of Fabrica on the Eastern Algarve. The cottage is on the bank of the Ria Formosa, one of the last remaining protected areas in the Algarve and a World Heritage site.

The space
Fabrica is a small hamlet that is still home to working fishermen. It is unspoiled and offers a welcome change from the more built up areas of the Western Algarve. It is home to the restaurant O Costa which is known throughout Portugal for its seafood. Fabrica is located one kilometre from Cacela Velha and its picturesque church on the cliff top. It is adjacent to the Quinta da Ria and Quinta de Cima golf courses and 5 minutes drive from the Benamor Golf Course. The house has been refurbished and has a well equipped kitchen. An additional feature is the roof top terrace with pergola, sink and fridge. There is a chimney / space for you to use a disposable BBQ. Please note you will need to buy your own disposable BBQs.

Guest access
You will have exclusive use of the house and roof terrace.

Other things to note
Coast/Beach:

The house is on the banks of the Ria Formosa which is a lagoon between the mainland and the Manta Rota peninsula and Cabanas islands. The beach is literally across the road. There are miles of open expanses of sandy beaches that are suitable for children. Even at the busiest times you have only to walk a few minutes to relative seclusion. At low tide you can wade to the beach or you can take a boat from the village. You can also drive 5 minutes to Manta Rota and access the beach by foot.

Travel:

Faro airport is a approximately half an hour's drive away. Lisbon is two and a half hour's drive and Cadiz, Seville and Jerez airports in Spain are all accessible. Hiring a car is advisable to get you to and from the airport and also bear in mind that the village has no shops (just a restaurant and daily mobile shops for basic provisions).

Further Details:

The village is a traditional fishing village. There are mobile shops that visit daily selling fish. However if you miss these then you will need to drive to the nearest supermarket (5 minutes). There is also an excellent restaurant in the village that is known throughout Portugal for its seafood.

There are many restaurants/bars etc at Tavira, Manta Rota, Vila Nova de Cacela, Conceição and Cabanas - all 5/10 minutes drive away. The nearest food shopping is also in these towns.

You are actually in the Ria Formosa Natural Park which is very popular with birdwatchers.

Tavira (10 minutes) is worth visiting. It was described in The Independent as 'by far the most attractive town in the Algarve'.

In 2015 Conde Nast ranked the beach as one of the top 15 in the world.
