Hotel Pinhal do Sol occupies a peaceful location in the centre of the Algarve, between Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura. The beach and the centre of Quarteira, with its diverse range of shopping and entertainment venues, are both situated three kilometres away and are easily reached using the hotel’s regular shuttle bus.

The en suite guest rooms are clean and well appointed with the modern amenities required for a comfortable stay, including satellite TV and air conditioning.

During the day guests can unwind by the inviting outdoor pool or enjoy a game of tennis, while younger guests will also be kept well entertained with their own pool.

Dining options within the hotel include the air conditioned restaurant and a snack bar, so guests will never be at a loss to find somewhere to sample some tasty treats.

Popular with golf lovers a golf course can also be found within one kilometre of the hotel. Hotel Pinhal do Sol is a perfect choice for those seeking comfortable accommodation and a peaceful base from which to explore the Algarve.

Quarteira Beach is beautiful and rock-free and there are plenty of eating places with the Avenida Infante de Sagres running along behind it, which you can call on for refreshments.

Quarteira still boasts a local fishing community and the fishermen can be seen at work at the western end of the beach. The catches are sold at the nearby fish market early in the morning and will end up on your plate for lunch or dinner the same day.

Quarteira offers a huge range of culinary delights, with the emphasis, of course, on the beautifully fresh fish and shellfish dishes such as grilled sardines, "cataplanas", "caldeirada" (a kind of fish stew) and prawns, to name but a few.

Quarteira really is an ideal resort for a family holiday - apartments and hotels line the sea front so have fabulous views and easy access to the gorgeous beach and all the restaurants and cafés that line the Marginal. The long sandy beach is ideal for children and the water here is calmed by a series of breakwaters, giving safer swimming conditions.
