Quinta da Relva

We loved Quinta da Relva. The views are beautiful and the smell of the trees and flowers as soon as you open the door to the outside, is just wonderful. We really loved being away from it all so that we could relax, swim and read. We really enjoyed a couple of restaurants nearby and found that the drive to the coast was easy and manageable. Your lovely housekeeper is fantastic and the management team great.

My family and I had a fantastic time at Quinta da Relva. While it might have been seven years since we were there it was like it was only yesterday. Our children were only aged 8 and 5 when we last visited but they still remembered it when we got there! It was one of the most relaxing holidays I’ve had in ages - beautiful pool and surrounding gardens. Hope to not leave it so long until next time.

We very much enjoyed our time in this charming mountain hideaway! The traditional house and garden are welcoming and comfortable. This is not a property full of mod cons, but a property full of character, history and simplicity. The pool is lovely, tranquil and very private. We enjoyed being away from the coast and exploring the hills and traditional community of Monchique. However, it was easy to go to the beach for the day and explore the Algarve.

Secluded, still and serene - we loved the cottage, the pool and the large garden with its different levels and variety of plants and wildlife. Amalia who came three times a week to help was lovely and a special thanks to Diana for being so patient when we were prevented from coming because of Covid and Caroline's health. When we could tear ourselves away from the house we enjoyed the west coast, the mountain views and being overtaken by a peloton when driving down the mountain to Monchique!
