Mercedes Country House - 475-Z Medronhal

Such an amazing place!! Just fantastic, everything fantastic. We have had a wonderful time in Mercedes: peaceful, relaxing, beautiful views... The room is ultra clean, modern and very spacious. On top, you have a superb service. Miguel and his family (also Paco, the dog) makes you feel very welcome. We recommend you also to have dinner in there, the quality of the food is exceptional! The food is very fresh and local, made by the family. Just 15 min away from the airport but far enough away to make you feel that you are in the countryside. Go, do not hesitate!

We had the absolute best time at Mercedes Country House! Our great time started even before we arrived! Miguel answered all of our questions about the area and provided us with a room with easy access for our dog. Everyone at Mercedes Country House did an amazing job of keeping it covid safe. They provided a delicious breakfast to be had in the courtyard or in the room. Miguel made sure to provide gluten-free options which were very helpful! Lucy is another amazing person at Mercedes Country House. She makes the best pancakes around! My husband had them every morning for breakfast! They both were so helpful during our entire visit. They answered questions about dog-friendly beaches, gave us information on when to visit the Olhao market, and recommendations on what to do in the area. We did something new and fun every day! From olive oil, tasting, to seeing the most beautiful beaches, to having delicious authentic Portuguese meals every day. I celebrated my 30th birthday during our visit and the night before, we were surprised with a beautiful and delicious bottle of sparkling wine. The surprises didn't stop there! My husband had reached out to them secretly beforehand and on the morning of my birthday, they delivered a homemade chocolate cake with a candle singing happy birthday. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. The people, the service, and the farm are just absolutely magical. The property is stunning! We enjoyed walking amongst the variety of fruit trees and watching the sunset from the rooftop. The pool they have is breathtaking! Our time there was so wonderful. We loved relaxing in our room when it was time to rest. I thoroughly enjoyed their gorgeous stand-alone bathtub! Mercedes Country House is a MUST book on your next trip to the Algarve! Thank you so much to everyone at Mercedes Country House for making it a trip to remember!

Absolutely amazing place! The house is located in the most beautiful area just outside Faro and very close to the aiport, but far away from noise and people. The rooms are very large and clean and everything is clearly very new and modern. Every room also has a small private garden, which is perfect to enjoy the great Algarve weather. Outside there is a large pool, and given the small number of rooms at the hotel, it is never crowded. As the hotel is placed outside the city, it is necessary to drive to get to the city or the beach, but both are very short drives away. We had a car for most of our stay, but it is also very east and cheap to get around with Uber. The breakfast is really amazing and freshly made from local ingredients. Every morning, we had freshly squeezed orange juice from locally grown oranges, as well as one of the many egg dished made from fresh eggs. As we were there during the Covid pandemic, there was no buffet, but we just ordered whatever we wanted the night before, and the breakfast was brought to us, anywhere we wanted, including in the room. Some nights we had dinner in the city and for others we ate at the hotel. The dinner menu changes every evening, but is always comprised of a big home made Portuguese meal. We were never disappointed. And the wine selection is really good too, coming from the impressive wine cellar of Miguel, the owner. And Miguel, the owner, was probably the best part of our stay. He was there to greet us, when we arrived and was always there for anything we needed. He even prepares the dinners himself. On our last night, we shared a bottle of Port and he showed his wine collection. His hospitality is really second to none. Well maybe second to his dog Paco (or public relations manager, as Miguel called him). So if you are thinking about booking it, stop thinking! I really cannot recommend this place enough.

A real gem in the algarve. Beautiful peaceful setting, the view from the pool is stunning. Miguel and his staff are great hosts and it’s a treat to have dinner cooked by him some evenings when you stay. It’s super clean and modern.

We had a Fantastic stay here! Really nice big rooms, ours had a bathtub in the bedroom too! We had breakfast in our private garden one morning which was lovely!

Perfection doesn´t exist, until you walk into the Mercedes Country House. You feel welcome immediately and that feeling doesn´t change. The host and the entire staff are friendly and helpful. The room is big and clean. The breakfast is amazing, just try the pancakes and you´ll know what I´m talking about. It´s nice to sit outside and relax at the swimming pool. Thanks for the excellent service.

We spent a week at Mercedes Country House with our two young children, and it was a wonderful experience. Miguel and Lucie are such lovely people and we always felt a personal touch. Miguel went out of his way to make meals that our daughter was willing to eat, and the main meals were fantastic; always made with fresh, great quality ingredients (plus Miguel has some excellent wine and port recommendations). There was also the luxury of having whatever we wanted for breakfast brought to our room as they couldn't do a buffet due to covid. When we had a medical emergency in the middle of the night Miguel drove us to the hospital without a second thought. The rooms are large and spotless, the pool is pretty big (and as there aren't too many rooms it was always quiet). The area is so peaceful, but still it's only a 20 minute drive to Faro, and not much further to some beautiful beaches. I really would recommend a visit.

Amazing place. A hidden gem in Faro. Miguel was the most fantastic host alongside his lovely family and colleagues. Offering a real retreat away from the hustle of the city, fine wine, home cooking, an impromptu cooking masterclass and a laid back atmosphere. Lucy was fantastic at delivering a beautiful breakfast with plenty of coffee. Worth a visit if travelling to Faro
