O Pequeno Castelo, the "Little Castle", offers you B&B in double rooms and self-catering apartments in a friendly and homely setting. You will find us in the natural reserve of Ria Formosa, only ten minutes by car from the beach of Pedras d´el Rei and 4 miles from the picturesque town of Tavira. Santo Estevão (Saint Stephen), a typical Algarvian village is only about one mile or a fifteen minute walk along orchards of carobs, figs, oranges, almonds and olives. In the village you will find a small but very good restaurant, coffee shops, mini-markets, post-office, chemist and a hairdresser. Enjoy your breakfast on the veranda with a splendid view over the Atlantic. At the Little Castle you can enjoy your holidays in a pastoral area away from mass-tourism and "all-inclusive" in a true Portuguese atmosphere.
