Even our taxi driver had to phone his boss for the right directions, so this Quinta is a bit hard to find. It's actually in the middle of nowhere, with absolute peace and quiet guaranteed, plus lovely vieuws of the countryside. This is the Algarve allright, but as far from the ugly concrete buildings along some parts of the coast as you can get.
The hotel is only ten years old, but has a lot of charm. Lots of nice sitting areas, a beautiful terrace and a lovely swimming pool with lots of loungers. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable.
What makes this adress really outstanding is a) the excellent restaurant, in a building a short walk away, and b) the genuine hospitality of the people who run it. Nothing is too much trouble, and theuy are really concerned about your wellbeing.
Don't expect 5 star luxury or exquisite pampering, but I can think of no better place to enjoy the Portuegese hospitality,climate, countryside and cuisine.
