“A hidden gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

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.

“Nice and Peaceful.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

Having stayed six nights in this rural hotel we can given it the thumbs up. It comes highly recommended but you need your own transport as its about 6 Kms from the town of Olhao.
The breakfast is excellent, cooked to order and supplemented by the usual buffet. The rooms are not big but fine as after all they are only for sleeping. Some have a small balcony overlooking the swimming pool. The swimming pool is lovely and very well maintained as are the very large gardens. There is a pitch and putt course laid out for residents. It is very quiet at night and there is no noise. The restaurant is located a short walk away through the garden but breakfast is served in the hotel itself. As this is a family run hotel and the owner is on site everything is spot on. The staff without exception were lovely and always ready to offer advice or assistance .
We will defnitely be back, hopefully before too long.

“In the middle of the countryside.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

Nice place to stay. Nice view and very peaceful. The staff is kind and helpful. 4 stars because of the beads (the matress its not very good) and the breakfast is very simple, with few choices. Apart that it's very nice.

Room Tip: Choose rooms with pool view.

“Delightful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We only had one night here at the end of July but we couldn't have wished for anything better and will be sure to return and for a longer stay next time. Due to flight times we arrived mid morning and before our room was ready. Whilst we sat in the shade drinking a cool beer on the terrace admiring the pool, we were informed that we had been upgraded to a superior room over looking the pool as it was ready before the room originally allocated to us. The bedroom was spacious and very comfortable, the bed was very firm as other guests have noted, but ideal for us. We walked across the grounds to the restaurant in the evening and enjoyed an excellent meal. Other customers that we spoke to in the restaurant were not residents but commented on the fact that it was one of the best places to eat in the area. The breakfast which is served in the hotel main building was of equally high standard with a fabulous cold buffet plus cooked eggs and bacon for those who wished. This is a family run hotel and the level of customer service is excellent, efficient and friendly. If you are looking a quiet, comfortable country hotel look no further.

Room Tip: The bedrooms overlooking the pool have the best views and are larger

“Excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel, one at the start of our holiday & one at the end. Everything was well presented & the staff helpful & friendly. Our stay felt more like a stay with family rather than an impersonal hotel. The room was spacious, spotless & beautifully quiet. We enjoyed eating in the restaurant both evenings & the breakfasts were delightful especially the range of fresh fruits & small pastries. Couldn't fault this hotel apart from it being a little difficult to find when we arrived! This almost adds to it's charm as it is a little off the beaten track.
