The Asseca Valley

'Quinta Esperança' is hidden in the lush agricultural Asseca valley and is surrounded by orange and lemon trees groves.

The valley pastures are frequented by the local shepherd and his flock of sheep, whilst the area is the natural habitat for rabbits.

This is also one of the best bird watching spots of the Eastern Algarve with regular sighting of golden and Imperial eagles, white egrets, owls, cuckoos and nightingales and kyte.

The nearest beach is 12km away, but a very short walk (200 meters) takes you to a beautiful fresh water pond surrounded by reeds, where, in summer, confident swimmers can enjoy bathing in complete solitude. The owner has also supplied a pedal boat for fun.

To discover the delights of the valley there are plenty of walks which take you into the blissfully unspoilt countryside where you will find a freshwater waterfall and ponds.

The nearest village is San Estevao (3 km) where there is shop and three restaurants.

Tavira is the closest main town and can be reached in 15 mins by car, where there is a large variety of restaurants and supermarkets and daily fruit and fish market.
