Location
About the surrounding area of Villa TapinhalVilla Tapinhal is located in the popular and affluent area of Vale do Lobo.

Vale do Lobo beach can be reached on foot in under 10 minutes, this stunning beautifully kept beach has golden sand and calm refreshing blue water with a dramatic backdrop of red cliffs. This lively beach has plenty of restaurants, bars and activities to choose from including nice and relaxing massage cabanas. There are also facilities for renting umbrellas and loungers so all you have to worry about is laying back and relaxing. The long shoreline is ideal for having a stroll offering quieter areas if you want to get away from the crowds.
Right next to the beach you will find the famous Praça, known as the heart of Vale do Lobo. This open square right on the beach has a welcoming atmosphere and is lined with bars, restaurants and cafes. During the summer there is a centre stage with live entertainment which really brings the area to life.
If you are an avid golfer then Vale do Lobo is the right place for you. There are 2 stunning courses to choose from: The Ocean Course and The Royal Course. These 18-hole championship golf courses have hosted the Portuguese Open twice, have exceptional facilities and hold exciting competitions and tournaments all year round. The Royal Course is home to the famous 16th hole, this cliff top shot offers stunning beach views.
If you want a city day out then why not head to Faro for the day, this charming and authentic Portuguese city is the capital of the Algarve and is well worth a visit. Places of interest in Faro include: the historical old town surrounded by medieval walls and filled with narrow and winding cobbled streets, the 13th century Cathedral of Faro where you can climb to the top of the bell tower for a beautiful view of the city and the Ria Formosa nature reserve. And Igreja do Carmo, known for it's carved woodwork and Capela dos Ossos, a chapel where the walls and ceiling are covered with human bones and skulls, a morbid but fascinating sight. Faro is also a great place for a bit of shopping.
