O Pequeno Castelo, the Little Castle, offers you double rooms B&B
and apartments in a friendly and homely setting. You will find us
only ten minutes by car from the beach of Pedras d´el Rei and 4
miles from the picturesque town of Tavira.

Santo Estevão (Saint Stephen), a typical Algarvian village is only
about one mile or a fifteen minute walk along orchards of carobs,
figs, oranges, almonds and olives. In the village you will find a
small but very good restaurant, coffee shops, mini-markets, post-
office, chemist and a hairdresser.

Enjoy your breakfast on the veranda with a splendid view over the
Atlantic.

At the Little Castle you can enjoy your holidays in a pastoral area
away from mass-tourism in a true Portuguese atmosphere. There are
excellent walking tracks where spectacular scenery and gently
rolling hills offer you the chance to get to know the country and
its people.

We are happy to share our knowledge of the region with our guests
and to provide them with all necessary information to make their own
individual holiday a success.

Discover the Eastern Algarve with its all year round warm climate
where temperatures even in winter never drop below 14 C and most
days you will be able to go for long walks or to sunbathe on one of
the long sandy beaches.

In summer however the temperature may reach 28 - 30 C, in July and
August even higher and you will enjoy the clean water of the
Atlantic in Europe’s unique natural reserve, Ria Formosa, where you
will be able to practise a great variety of water sports as well.

Tavira, the most exquisite town on the south coast and one of the
loveliest in Portugal is worth more then one visit. The medieval
arcades, graceful cloisters and ancient walls of Tavira´s mansions,
castle, churches and monasteries frame handsome piazzas. Coming
across the seven arched roman bridge you may wonder how Tavira has
kept its back firmly against the tide of modern development.
If ever the lure of the ocean dulls you will find that the wooded
hills of the serra behind Tavira with its picturesque little
villages offer beautiful and unspoilt terrain for exploring and
walking. Small restaurants invite to get to know the typical dishes
of the region and its excellent wines.
