Very quiet, relaxing spot. A bit over charged for the service provided. Perfect to take the bikes and circulate to the nearer beaches. For those who want to recharge batteries, it is the perfect resting place, especially by the pool, enjoying the sunny Algarve, yet feeling the sea breeze. The rooms are good, clean and comfortable.

I hesitatd to give the Quinta "exellent" as a rating only because the rooms are rather small and simple, event though cosy. The tv-set was definitely too small (19 inch would be my guess) but you do not go to the Algarve to watch tv. The rooms come without fridge but there is a big common one for use of... More

Quinta do Mel is an extraordinary place for ultimate relaxation. The owners and people in the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. Even on our last day we were able to keep our room till the evening- not having to worry about check out time. Every other day we had dinner here, superfresh fish or perfectly cooked meat with some... More

Nice typical Portuguese guesthouse, well located. Tasty breakfast. I went with my family and 2 small children and was not made to feel very welcome by the owner who was there during the day, they even charged me for a cup of milk when I asked them to fill my daughter's bottle in the morning which I thought was absolutely...

I can't say enough about this place. The setting, the buildings, rooms and most of all the Owners (Luis & Sonia) & staff. So kind, accommodating & hospitable. It is close enough to the beach and has all the charm that the hotels close to the beach lack.

The owners of the Quinta are wonderful people who have created a beautiful, intimate country house just a few minutes from some amazing beaches. Breakfasts were the best we had in two weeks, dinners were family style and delicious and their patio was a fantastic spot for a glass of wine in the evening. Highly recommended.
