Play golf at the Algarve - a golfer's dream becomes reality!
This Pousada offers the best of both worlds: It is set in a peaceful countryside, away from the crowded Algarve resorts, but a short, thirty minutes drive brings you to the coast, Faro Airport and the crowds at the many world famous tourist resorts in this region. The Pousada São Bras has 31 rooms and two suites. It is air-conditioned and has a lift and is accessible to the disabled. There is a swimming pool in the gardens which is open during the summer months - and also a tennis court.
The Pousada makes an ideal resting place for those wanting to stay at an Algarve destination far away from the crowds. Enjoy the cuisine and the wines, take a swim in the pool or just relax on the terrace and enjoy the breathtaking scenery...		The lovely Pousada São Bras de Alportel
Twenty kilometres to the southeast is the little resort of Tavira. Situated at the mouth of the river Gilao, its beautiful balconied houses stretch along both banks of the river, which is spanned by two elegant bridges - quite a contrast to the modern concrete addition... Although the town has a Moorish feel to it, most of it was rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, giving it an elegance associated with that period.

Your room at the Pousada		Tavira used to be a major centre of tuna fishing, but a few years ago the catches declined and today the industry has ceased. Wander through the cobbled streets and discover the Algarve as it used to be... Twenty-five kms southwest of São Bras there is the coastal resort of Vilamoura with its large marina surrounded by shops and bars. This is the place the locals promenade in the evening.
There is also a casino and some of the best golf courses in the country are located at the resort. East of Sao Bras, the town of Loule is a must for shopaholics. Its big Saturday market is sure to provide something for everyone. The town is an important craft center specializing in pottery, leather goods and copperware. Take a walk round the town, looking at the amazing number of individually decorated chimneys, showing the artistic flair and imagination of the people.
And don't forget one of the best golf courses!
The Ocean Course, part of the Vale de Lobo tourist resort, is located near the sea, thus creating very pleasant game conditions.

The Vale de Lobo golf course, which in 1987 hosted the Portugal Ladies Open (part of the WPG European Tour), has matured since its inauguration in 1966. Originally, the course had 18 holes, designed by Sir Henry Cotton. In 1972, however, a loop of 9 holes was added to the course. Recent works have given it further new dimensions - there are now two courses of 18 holes each - the Ocean Course and the Royal Golf Course. The 5,493 metre long Ocean Course was created by joining the "green" and "orange" courses. Its sandy fairways undulate alongside pine, olive, and orange trees and eucalyptuses.		One of the most beautiful golf courses in the world!
Vale de Lobo, which is the focal point of a sophisticated tourism complex, is only 20 kilometres away from Faro International Airport and also has a good-sized 245 metre practice course, creating excellent training conditions.
