We, a family of four with two kids aged 8 and 13, enjoyed two absolutely relaxing and wonderful weeks at Quinta dos Cochichos. Paula and Mark have been excellent hosts who ensured that everything, from booking the accommodation to arriving to staying there and leaving was hassle free; they really communicated well with us throughout and were always tremendously helpful. The Quinta itself is simply great, the pictures on the website provide an excellent impression of the houses and surroundings. The kids loved the pool area, fully equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas, a hammock, small diving board and even a sauna if the hot Algarve weather is too cold for you, while we enjoyed sitting outside our house on the porch in the evenings, sampling some of the fantastic regional wines. The house, we stayed at Casa do Figo, is clean and spacious for a family of four, comes with two bathrooms (very handy for a teenage daughter) and is well equipped for self catering, even providing you with a BBQ and beach towels. There are two other apartments/houses on the Quinta that can accommodate two further families, so things never feel crowded. What we really liked is that the Quinta is a bit off the beaten track, we were looking for quiet evenings in the country side rather than a thumping nightlife, but still everything is tremendously easy to access (10 to 15 minutes) by car, from the shops and restaurants in Olhaho to the beaches on the islands of Culatra and Armona, and even Faro and other places in the west Algarve are within easy reach thanks to the vicinity of the N125 and A22. We can only recommend this wonderful place and look forward to staying there again!

Stayed at this lovely farmhouse for two weeks, end of April and beginning May. Faro is the nearest airport and it’s just 20-30 minutes away by car. There is three spacious self-catering apartments that are recently renovated (2013) with all necessary equipment. Breakfast is included and is served every morning. You can choose to have it in the apartment or have it in the common breakfast area. The farm has their own chickens so fresh eggs are on the breakfast menu. Also they grow organic fruits and vegetables. After a day at the beach, which can be reached by car in a few minutes, you can have relaxing late afternoon at the farm enjoying the sauna and/or the nice swimming pool. The sauna was perfect when we stayed there, as the evenings could be a bit cold (+20 C). For children there is a small playground and there is also a place for playing boule. The hosts are very helpful and speak Portuguese, English, French, Spanish? and Swedish and can recommend nearby restaurants, beaches and shops. I can really recommend this B&B for everyone who wants to enjoy Portugal countryside and still be close to the beaches. Marianne & Nils from Sweden

Simple accommodation, in a fantastic farm (in the middle of the countryside, 5 minutes by car from Olhão), welcoming, very peaceful, good energy and constant availability of the host. Excellent cost/benefit ratio. Definitely recommend...?
