Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at Quinta do Mel, and would definitely recommend staying here for your trip in the Algarve. It is walking distance to the Praia da Falésia (one of the best beaches around), but just outside the main resort and restaurant area so it was super peaceful. Definitely go for the breakfast (it was delicious with plenty of options), and be sure to check out the beautiful gardens and animals around the property.

Stayed one night and wished it was longer. Lovely Quinta with local produce. Breakfast and service is absolut top notch. On top of the fresh yoghurt, pastries and fruit we asked for an omelet and it was beautiful. The pool area was nice as well as the possibility to visit the farm animals. Very quiet farm and beautiful surroundings. We will be back!!

We loved our stay. Arrived after midnight and the instructions to get into the Quinta were easy and ckear with a personal note inside. Let's just say that this was a sign to come. Elvis and the staff make sure to accommodate all your needs and then sime. Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful grounds and the breakfast was outstanding.

A lovely stay
Quinta do Mel is a gorgeous farm house very close to the beautiful Praia da Falésia. My wife and I arrived and were greeted (after having a little trouble finding the door) right away and shown to our room by the friendly staff. The building is very quaint, but the rooms are comfortable and tastefully updated. We really enjoyed the in-house tea. The breakfast was also incredible. We will certainly stay again when we return to this area.

I love this place away from chaos but near enough for everything. The view is amazing and it’s so quiet. Everyday they served tasty and healthy breakfast. The only thing negative for me is the mattress. It’s not comfortable aa it’s too soft. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous and exceptional
This is an amazing place to stay. What a find. Only 12 rooms so no where is over busy. Extremely relaxing. Pool area gorgeous and the food was exceptional.
The staff are lovely and local and you can tell - a real United team.

Such a beautiful hotel and staff. The restaurant is incredible. Had a peaceful few days here as solo traveller. The area is quite remote. As expected but can walk to the beach in about 30 minutes but Ubers are really easy and available to get about also. The staff were really friendly and accommodating.. only tiny thing that let this place down was no fridge in the room to store water or fruits etc. overall though amazing stay if looking for a peaceful quiet retreat and excellent food!

Sehr schönes Hotel. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und kann auf einer schönen Terrasse eingenommen werden. Auch wenn es Mitte Oktober morgens noch recht kühl ist wärmte die Sonne aber schon gut so dass wir immer draußen gefrühstückt haben.
Auch der Innenbereich des Restaurants ist gemütlich und man hier auch gut zu Abend essen
Wir waren zum 4.mal hier und werden auch wieder kommen

Cher pour la prestation proposée
Hôtel simple à la campagne. Prix trop élevé pour ce type de prestation au Portugal.
Beaucoup de mouches pendant le dîner à l’extérieur. Service très sympathique. Nourriture standard. Cela n’est pas une destination.
