Quinta da Relva

A fantastic cycling destination that delivers breathtaking landscape with plenty of trails to explore. If you don't have your own bike you can hire one from Alternativtour. The house was comfortable and well furnished with the option to have a delivery of groceries delivered upon arrival which was a great welcome.

We had a lovely time at Quinta Da Relva. Beforehand it was very easy to liaise with Diana who was very quick to respond by email. The house is very comfortable and the pool is beautiful and surrounded by lovely views of so many different trees. There was plenty of sunshine, but it was also easy to find shade when it was very warm even in the middle of the day. We enjoyed visiting different beaches and had a great dolphin watching trip from Portimao as well as lovely evenings on the terrace.

We absolutely loved staying at Quinta de Relva. It is a real mountain retreat at the top of Monchique. This was our second time and we just had to come back! Surrounded by fruit trees, we even made our own lemonade from the lemons. The air is so clear and fresh,the town of Monchique is wonderful, great food and shops..Diana and all her team are so friendly and helpful, Loved the fresh flowers in every room, all the little touches made for a wonderful escape from London. Hard to tear ourselves away would have happily stayed for a month! Can't wait to visit again.

We had an amazing time, your house is beautiful, and the location is so serene, I've not felt so relaxed in years! (The stress tracker on my watch agrees). Only regret was not booking for longer.

We had a truly memorable stay at Quinta da Relva as it was our first trip abroad with our 9 month old. The house came well equipped with everything we needed including a cot, highchair, toys and books. We were also able to regulate the temperature of the house with the newly installed aircon/heating system which was a welcome addition come bedtime! We found the locals to be very welcoming and accommodating, making it easy and stress free to venture out into town and visit the surrounding beaches.
