After paying the toll at the end of the highway (260 km. trip), take the Algarve highway “A2” direction “Lagos, Portimao, Albufeira” (West).

(From Faro airport , take highway “A2” direction “Lagos, Portimao” (West), always follow the blue signs)

Once on “A2” direction “Lagos” keep going, until you reach “end of highway”. You will exit at “Lagoa, Silves”. Just after, there’s a little roundabout (the cars in the center always have priority in the roundabouts!!!). Take the exit direction “Portimao, Lagoa, Carvoeiro”. There is another roundabout just after, but keep following direction “Portimao”. Don’t exit at “Lagoa Norte”. Exit a little further at “Lagoa Sul”.

Once on national road “EN 125” pass the first group of traffic lights (now you are in Lagoa city). At the second group of traffic lights turn right direction “Carvoeiro”. 250 meters appx. follow strait thru direction “Sesmarias, Ferragudo”.

Once you reach “Sesmarias” keep going on until a little roundabout and turn left direction “Ferragudo”. 1.5 km further you will find on your left side at the corner (on the top of the hill) a big sign “ Vila Gaivota”, turn left and come to “Recepçao” (reception). We will be here to “Welcome you”.
