    The rooms are quite dark with one small window . Furniture also dark though attractive to many I’m sure. Only BBC world news on the cable tv -not much choice for English speakers Dining room was very cool in the evenings but staff turned heating up when we asked Bit of confusion regarding house wine but we were given a complimentary glass the following evening

    Enjoyed the peace and the rural setting. Beautiful lavender even in January. Everything really clean . Food was delicious. Breakfast was nicely presented and delicious home baked cakes/scones etc Very polite service. So convenient having an on site restaurant . 2 excellent evening meals- loved the cod & prawn risotto. Ground floor room appreciated to accommodate disability . Too cool to use the pool but looked well maintained

    I can't think of something I didn't like.

    The location is great. very quiet and you can go out for a walk around the hotel, the Breakfast was fresh and great, and the staff was amazing- Sofia and Rubeng were lovely, we stayed there for 2 nights and we enjoyed every moment :) unfortunately, it wasn't too hot for us to swim in the pool, but we enjoyed the garden... the room we had (10) was located on the second floor, it was tranquil and had a nice balcony, the room was huge and didn't have any special facilities, it was perfect - super simple and clean, and the smell of nature is all over, I loved it !!!

    We were given a two room apartment with living area and kitchen for the three of us. Nice pool, and good restaurant on site. We had to leave early so they provided us with a takeaway breakfast the evening before.

    The Main Entrance and Welcoming Design Concept is confusing! You are welcomed from the Restaurant terrace entrance, and the guests have to pass through the tables area to reach the check in point. We had the feeling that we were entering a restaurant that had some nice rooms instead of entering an Hotel that has a lovely Restaurant! We would say it's a bit overpriced for the overall experience, specially when the room had lack of natural ventilation (without having to open the windows and risk being bitten by mosquitos). There were issues with the air conditioning not working also. Once again the Staff's Amazing Service compensated the Design, Functionality and General Experience.

    Awesome Location! An Elegant Retreat feeling, away from the crowd and yet just 5 min away from the beach! Very Generous Breakfast! You just need to choose your table and let the Amazing Staff Serve You, delicious locally produced products or made with Love at the Farm. In my humble opinion the Staff are the Stars of Quinta do Mel with their Top Customer Attention and Service!

    All the food was amazing - however the restaurant and pool area only served mineral water in small-ish glass bottles and very expensive. They could look into a different option for guests like a filter tap, etc.

    The property is absolutely beautiful. Stunning gardens and working farm. The pool area is shaded, grassy and very relaxing. We loved the restaurant too. Then breakfast was very generous, tasty and with the freshest ingredients. We ate dinner there one night and the meal was really great.

    A wonderful, peaceful location
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room

    There were a few details about the room which could elevate it and I informed the hotel about these directly.

    Wonderful for a peaceful stay and within a 15 min walk of the beach and a short car ride to other areas. I have mobility issues and managed fine with walking to and from the beach. You intiailly enter the hotel via the restaurant and at checkin you'll be given access to a separate entrance. Restaurant has an extensive menu. Wonderful produce from the farm itself used including lamb, vegetables, jams, herbs, tea. I had an excellent orange and mint tea with some honey cake :) I stayed 4 nights in Room 3. The room was fairly small but fine for one person. Lovely interior and furniture. Stone floors. Window shutters make the room pitch black at night. Very comfortable bed. Air conditioning, kettle, water, organic shower gel/handwash in the bathroom. Separate towels for the pool. Breakfast was a delightful highlight - the fresh orange juice is delicious! Fruit, museli, pastries, jams, cheese, ham, eggs, bread. All delicious. You can see why many non-hotel guests come here just for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Lovely grounds including seating so you can take in the farm, flora. Small pool with sun loungers is a lovely spot to relax during the day. There's a separate tv room too. The staff here were very attentive and although often busy, they were happy to help, good natured and hard working. I very much hope to visit again and in the meantime hope to order some of the delicious jams and produce online. P.s. in case you don't have a car like me, travelling around is very easy. I'd walk to the beach and for when I visited other places I took an Uber. E.g. Hotel to Albufeira: 9.5 euros Hotel to Praia Santa Eulália: 6.2 euros Hotel to Olhos de Agua: 3.8 euros

    The beds could have been a little softer, and because of the farm and the restaurant was all open to the outside there were flies around while we were eating. Also the rooms were a little dark, (not a lot of lighting).

    I loved the location and the charm of this place. The pool was wonderful. This is a quaint, farm to table quieter location. It was perfect for what we were looking for. We were a family of 5, however the family rooms had already been booked so we got 2 separate rooms and they added a bed to one of the rooms for us. The staff were wonderful. It’s really a good value for the price.

    The staff was a bit slow with registering. The rooms need a bigger tables to put stuff on.

    The staff allowed us to stay after the check out and to use facilities. Love the breakfast! Great place to stay.
