Geweldige locatie, rustig en dicht aan zeer mooi strand. Prachtige streek: mooie kustwandelingen en cultuur.
Very comfortable, well designed and decorated. Host and staff are amazing. Would definitely go back and recommend without hesitation.
Elke and Maarten were the perfect hosts, as well as their staff. We arrived late and Elke was there to help with luggage and show us around what we like to call our "Oasis". We were so very happy with our choice. This was more than a BnB. The pool area with all of the various lounging areas is paradise in The Algarve. The breakfast was the best we ever had - and we were always met with a hello, smile and "do you want a coffee or cappuccino". Maarten went out every morning for fresh bread and pastries. Elke was always there to help with suggestions as to where to vist and how to get there. Our room with an outdoor space was more than we expected. Every aspect of the room was comforting, well designed and just beautiful. We were pleased with everything about our stay at Quinta do Ourives We want to go back to The Algarve just to stay here again. I would strongly recommend staying here - you will be delighted. Also, the location was perfect for our day trips
Outstanding location with so much to see and do nearby w/amazing restaurants. It was a beautiful property-clean, warm and stylish, with such a relaxed atmosphere. The best part was the hospitality by Elke and company: So welcoming, thoughtful, and accommodating in every way. Had a wonderful homemade breakfast spread each morning which they happily adjusted to cater to our celiac allergy. Highly recommend!
Me and my partner had the best few days at Quinta do Ourives. The setting is beautiful and only 5 mins from the town and local beach. Elke was incredibly helpful, gave us loads of tips of things to do and even let us stay by the beautiful pool after checkout for a few hours before we headed out on a long drive. Theres an amazing pool area with a great honesty bar and in the Summer months they do a weekly BBQ. The breakfast was incredible every morning. Honestly I couldnt fault the place and wouldnt hesitate to rebook! Just perfect!
This B&B was a memorable experience. The location was secluded, but not by mileage, I felt removed from the bustle of the city by the quiet and natural beauty of the acreage. The hospitality shown to us was extremely welcoming, Elke and her family were very gracious hosts. And breakfast was everything I wished for. I would definitely recommend.
We stayed at this beautiful property for a few nights in October. Could not wish for a more enjoyable stay. Beautiful spacious room with a terrace. Sleek and stylish with everything that one needs to be comfortable. Amazing breakfast every morning with a choice of fresh bread and delicious pastries, cold cuts, fruit and eggs cooked to your liking. But what made it most special is the incredible hospitality of Elke, who greeted us with a friendly smile every morning, always happy to give plenty of local tips and suggestions. The perfect conclusion to our Portuguese adventure.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Quinta do Ourives. The entire staff is kind, eager to please and helpful. The breakfast is delicious. The location is ideal. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Thank you for making our stay in the Algarve memorable.
