We have just come back from a fantastic week staying here, we could not fault anything. The owners Sandra & Paulo and not forgetting the lovely cleaner and breakfast maker (not sure of her name) could not do enough for us. The rooms were immaculate, and the two pools were superb! Along with the huge selection for breakfast. The location was stunning, set on a secluded fruit farm, and the cute donkey Faisca, which we fed carrots daily. Alvor town is only a 10 minute taxi ride if you do not have a car. We have already booked in to stay again next year, I would highly recommend if you want a peaceful and relaxing get away.

The best of both worlds.

What an amazing stay. I have just returned from 4 nights as we stayed here for a festival.

I must say, this space is great for all ages. A beautiful fragrant farm, full of orange and lemon trees the nicest juice I ever made and tried. Not forgetting the donkey.

The host was exceptional nothing was too much.
Relaxing, peaceful and quite. Yet, 5mins away you can drive or get an uber to the local town Alvor. Everything is there, bank, shops, restaurants including a beautiful beach.

You have everything you need for a holiday. Venture, relaxation and was perfect for us after a festival. Again, showing this is suitable for everyone.

The rooms are spacious and have everything you need on a self catering basis.

I will be back as I really enjoyed my stay. It was safe, clean and I could not of asked for more.

This would be also perfect for fellow yogis.
Thank you for your hospitality, warm kind nature.

I wish you all the best and I advise anyone looking to go Alvor to stay here. Worth every penny and you can book safely direct with the host too.

Sorry, I only did videos, but I had a small handful of pics. I can honestly say, the pictures online are 100% accurate.

Gorgeous room, newly converted with modern bathroom and all facilities. Nothing was too much trouble for the friendly owners and we had a most enjoyable stay in September. There is a large swimming pool and spacious sunbed area absolutely pristine as was the whole place. Sandra works hard to keep everywhere spotless clean and adds little touches of personality that add to your comfort and appreciation of this lovely place. We were made to feel completely pampered and I can't wait to return.

This hotel is beyond perfect, comfortable beds, specious rooms and bathroom, extremly clean room( sandra is cleaning freak😉), terras, delicious breakfast in the sun.. its like a dream waking up with sound of hundreds of birds, smell of the oranges, relaxed nap at the pool... Sandra and Paolo are great people and they make your stay just perfect. Sandra’s fresh pressed juice and passionfruit will melt your heart. With all the delicious cakes we ate there we gained a kilo or two😉. Our stay was beyond perfect, we could not have imagine beter place to stay in Algarve. Thank you guys. Petra&Bram
