Wonderful stay! It's like staying in someone's lovely ranch home. The garden suite was spacious and the bed was very comfortable- best shower in Europe! The relaxing vibe and out of the way location made for an ideal Algarve experience.

This property is heavenly, a real oasis from the hustle and bustle of busy towns. The service is very attentive, the breakfast is out of this world. They served so much food that there was no room left on the table! We particularly enjoyed the fresh pressed OJ every morning. This place is peaceful, small and gorgeous!
