Sao Bras

Sao Bras holidays

Set inland just north of Faro, Sao Bras is a pretty little market town with all the Algarve’s signature hallmarks. Say hello to cobbled streets, pretty squares and elegant tile-clad buildings! The charm doesn’t stop there – when the town melts away, rolling hills come into view. For this is a countryside gem off the tourist trail, where you can get a real taste of authentic Portugal. 

Lots of local towns

Uncover hidden gems of the Algarve from Sao Bras – you’ve got Loulé, Estoi and Faro all within easy reach. Faro’s the area’s flagship city, with a quaint old town, lovely rooftop bars and sandy beaches to explore! 

The coast’s calling

Fancy days at the beach? The glimmering Algarve coast is around 30 minutes away! Head west to discover the golden sands and lively promenade of Quarteira. For something a little quieter, venture in the direction of Tavira for unspoilt beaches that seemingly stretch for miles.
