Lightbooking Praia Fabrica Algarve Ap.IV

Portugal welcomes you to one of the Algarve's most unique and romantic spots: "Playa de Fábrica." Just a 40-minute drive from Faro International Airport, you arrive at the natural park of "Ria Formosa," selected as one of Portugal's seven natural wonders—a must-see protected area during your Algarve vacation.

This retreat, away from mega-hotels and overcrowded tourist centers, boasts a special magic. Its secret has been well kept by the Portuguese, who have cherished this area for its unique charm for many years.

You'll find yourself facing a wild beach in a protected natural landscape, separated from the mainland by the "Ria Formosa," which originates at the Cacela peninsula, at the foot of the historic village of "Cacela Velha." To reach the open beach, be mindful of the tides or take one of the boats that ferry to the sands. With white sands and clear waters, the pronounced tides here offer a delightful surprise for nature enthusiasts.

Local restaurants cater to fish and seafood lovers. To enjoy a comfortable and thrilling stay, we recommend renting a car for flexibility. There's much to see and explore throughout the area.

Golfers will find a club just minutes away by car from the apartment. The "Quinta da Ria" golf course is in excellent condition and offers great value. A visit to the "Monte Rei Golf & Country Club" is a must for any serious player. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Monte Rei consistently ranks at the top of Portugal's most exclusive golf clubs.

Our apartments are tailored to this exclusive setting: air conditioning, unique design, close to the beach yet peaceful, and after a day at the beach or a round of golf, you can enjoy the tranquility of your terrace. Each has its unique charm, sharing the common qualities of superior interior design and inventory, comfortable bathrooms, and quality beds.

Due to the area's circumstances, the internet is provided via a mobile network service. It's important to note that internet service is not on par with the rest of Europe and major cities but adequately covers basic needs.

IMPORTANT:
WiFi and mobile connections in the area are unstable.

check in was horrible. Thought I had already paid, but then they wanted half the cost and a deposit. It was in Portuguese so I had to decipher everything. Then they wanted our passport info scanned in. The software took several attempts. I was so frustrated by the time we got there I was almost in tears. The ad said there was a wash machine, there was not. SoI contacted the hostess, the wash machine was in the hallway of the next rental, they sent someone out with a key, went to use the key the next day and could not get the key to work. We also ran out of toilet paper. We loved the area, but will be a lot more careful about who we book with.
