Amazing place, so tranquil. Fabulous bedroom and very sumptious bathroom. Would definitely return.

Welcome to Fazendinha. With its calm, individual rooms and well kept gardens and it's soul it will attract you as it has attracted us and many others. Close enough to the pretty town of Tavira, the natural park and inland waterways and beaches. It would be our pleasure to receive individual guests or large exclusive groups. Open all year around with competitive prices. Your hosts, Marc and Carol

Both the scenery and the living area themselves are stunning. Very well equipped. Felt lucky to be there. The owner is friendly and helpful too. Local area is beautiful with plenty of places to eat and a local market selling fresh fish, meat and veg. Highly recommended!!

Wish we could've stayed longer. Beautiful property...huge rooms. Owner is super helpful. Tavira is a very nice town just 2 Miles away. We did not have a car so owner picked us up from train station which was a big help. We walked to town next day and took about an hour but was a great walk with scenery...stay here!

My family and I stayed with Marc & his team in the summer of 2020. We liked it so much that I wanted to bring my several friends back during June of 2021. Unfortunately, this year Marc left our group of 12 without accommodations and less than a week to figure out alternatives. After our 3 families had taken time off of work, rented vehicles, and made our plans he sent me a casual email telling me that other people were booked in our place--I suspect we were bumped when he realized he could charge a higher price as the Algarve began filling up post-covid. Because our group was so large I decided to try and reserve directly through him. At the time, he told me he preferred doing this so that he didn't have to pay any commission to booking sites. I had to call and email him several times to make the reservation, but was finally able to successfully arrange the bookings and received an email confirmation from him stating that the rooms were reserved. I emailed him immediately to attempt payment, he didn't respond. I sent a follow up email the next week. No response. He finally responded 3 weeks later in an email stating he had supposedly been in a car accident and that someone had taken our places (how this could happen when we supposedly already had a reservations in the books is beyond me) but that he could offer us rooms at the full rate for 2 random, mid-week dates at some point in the summer. When I told him it was unacceptable given that we had all made arrangements for these particular dates and I would be filing a complaint, he called me "snippy" and blamed ME for not following up more often???

Very well located if you're looking for some rest in the middle of nature, Fazendinha is a lovely place to take a break from noise and recharge batteries. It's less than a 10-minute drive from the centre of Tavira so it's still very accessible if you want/need to go somewhere. Marcus - I hope I'm getting his name right - was a friendly, kind and welcoming host, making us feel at home from the start. We stayed in January, which is low season, so the price was extremely cheap and we were very surprised as the conditions, decoration, comfort, setting were simply amazing. There's a shared living room a shared kitchen and a swimming pool, and because the house doesn't have many rooms the place never seems to be crowded. I had some very nice walks in the surrounding area and I will always remember waking up with the lovely sound of birds singing. I truly recommend this place.
