Accommodation & Travel
Hotel
The Old Village
Quarteira, Faro 8125-249, Portugal
This is where we will be staying for the time around the wedding and we think it would be great craic if our guests would like to join us! Really reasonably priced self catering apartments and houses with multiple pools, restaurants, bars and a supermarket within the complex 15 min walk to Vilamoura Marina but there is also a little train that operates daily from the complex to the marina We have booked through rentals@liveinholidays.com (https://liveinholidays.com/old-village-prestige/) and its advisable to email them with your dates and number of people so they can send you a list of available properties to choose from. Apartments can also be booked through various other rental agents (Village4U, Fivestar Vilamoura and OV international), booking.com and airbnb. We recommend waiting until around September to book as that is when the rental agencies should have most of the 2026 prices available.
