    Breakfast was amazing. Staff were great. Little outdoor space with table and chairs was a nice place to relax. Villa dog was very cute :) Would recommend bringing a car as it's a short drive from amenities.

    Only two small things….. We had a room looking onto the Courtyard and directly behind the dining room. There was no foil or net curtain resulting in a direct view into the room. If you want some privacy during the day you have to draw the curtain and put the light on which is a shame on a sunny afternoon. The second problem for me is entirely outside the control of the hosts. The property is in the countryside and some of the surrounding properties must have dogs which barked at night. Not constantly , but for long enough for it to become an irritation.

    Very clean , very well presented, excellent hosts.

    There was nothing we disliked about the property.

    Beautifully decorated in like a “Key West” style (from Key West in Florida-US) with a farm house charm. Our room was impeccably clean with a fresh pleasant scent, very comfortable bed with crisp linens, a picturesque field view from our window. A wonderful breakfast with home made baked goods. Lina and her husband were very hospitable and friendly, he even helped carrying our luggage. Definitely recommend.

    The only thing we would have appreciated more was if the breakfast hours were extended to earlier in the morning. Maybe from 8am to 10am instead of 9am to 10am so we could leave earlier for the day and have more time to explore the beautiful Algarve.

    Our stay at this farm house was an delight from start to finish. The property exudes charm, with its picturesque landscaping adding to the overall appeal. Our suite was very clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything one might need during their stay. Upon arrival we received a warm welcome from the owner, who even offered us beach towels for our convenience. The breakfast, lovingly prepared by the owner herself, included an assortment of fresh fruits, various cheeses, cured meats, homemade cakes, and more, providing a delightful and diverse selection. Upon informing the owner about our early check-out for an early flight the day before we leave, we were pleasantly surprised to discover a considerate breakfast waiting for us in our room that night. It included sandwiches, freshly baked cake, orange juice, and a compact coffee maker, a genuinely heartwarming gesture. Our short stay here was nothing short of exceptional, and we wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation to anyone seeking a memorable and hospitable experience in Tavira.

    Best and most relaxing hols I had in sometime! We book the room last minute for 10 days and it was the best decision we made on our holidays! The hosts (Lina and her husband) are amazing and super welcoming, we got an immediate bonus on getting our room upgraded, the farm is in a quiet place, it has a nice pool in the back of the house, and you can have some peaceful moments just by staying in the guesthouse, unless you find Mel (the dog) and she is on the mood to play ball with you, then you will have a different experience of relaxation and happiness, with the nicest and most chilled dog who's always willing to play ball with you, there's also two cats, to balance Mel's energy. We already mentioned the upgrade, but we had many other small details, Lina was super attentive and helping us in everything we needed, we got a small bottle of local spirits (delicious!) from her husband and even two spear boat tickets to one of the islands (Thank you!). Also, if you are a foodie person, her husband kept giving us many nice restaurant locations, of all types but with great food. Cannot miss how amazing breakfast is, fresh eggs from their own hens, fresh fruit, some from the farm as well, homemade cakes (we loved the orange cake!), and a lots of nice breakfast goodies! A personal note that impacted my decision to rent in the location, obviously the great score Quinta Almargem has, but the location is really close to Tavira, for any night dinners or drinks its a 5min drive, but you are also within 30mins from the border with Spain to the East and same time to Faro in the West, its a great location to be based on for visiting many places in the area. Thank you so much to Lina, her family and the staff, you're all amazing hosts!

    We had to go back to Scotland

    We spent a fantastic 10 days at this lovely guest house near Tavira. It turned out to be even better than we had hoped for. We made a somewhat last-minute decision to stay here because we weren't sure if we'd want to get a rental car or just stay in a city hotel. After reading the reviews about this guest house, we quickly changed our minds and went for the car rental. Right from the start, we felt like we'd stumbled on a hidden gem. The family who runs the guest house were great hosts, and very welcoming despite a slight language barrier. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast featuring eggs from the farm's hens, fresh watermelon, figs, and avocados grown right on the property. It's used to be a working farm, but these days they just share the produce with their friends... and us lucky guests. And they even had a homemade cake ready for us every morning! One of the highlights of our stay was the peaceful pool area at the back of the guest house. It was the perfect spot to unwind while the housekeeping staff took care of our clean and airy rooms. And let's not forget the excellent air conditioning that kept us comfortable throughout our stay. But what made this place truly special were the other hosts – Mel the dog and the two cats. Mel, in particular, stole our hearts as she eagerly played catch with us every morning after breakfast. She added an extra dose of joy to our holiday. When it was time to say goodbye, the owners surprised us with thoughtful parting gifts - a lovely touch at the end of our stay. In summary, if you're planning a trip to Tavira area, and have the option of renting a car, we wholeheartedly recommend this charming guest house. It's a haven of peace, warmth, and natural beauty that offers an unforgettable experience. Our stay here was truly exceptional, and we're looking forward to our next visit. A big thank you to Lina, her family and of course Mel for making our holiday so...

    My partner and I stayed here for 6 days it was fantastic. The grandma gave us a warm welcome and we felt at home since day 1. The property is well kept and extremely clean. Every morning a local delicious breakfast is served directly by the owners who are also willing to provide you with any information to explore the area nearby. You will be surrended by nature and lovely dog and cats!!! Mel is the main character of the place, and she was waiting for us to play with!❤️ 5 minutes far from the center of Tavira 4minutes to copacagana 20 to Villa real De Santo Antonio

    We had a fantastic stay at beautiful Quinta Almargem Lusitano and were very sad we had to continue after a couple of nights. The room was big and clean , with a comfortable bed and an amazing view! The breakfast was delicious with lots of variety! Lina and her family were very kind and welcoming and the dog Mel was so playful and sweet! The farm house is located in a really quiet neighborhood . We definitely recommend this beautiful place.

    The air con could have been more powerful as the room felt hot on a night, but it was very hot temperatures even for Portugal so it is understandable

    Hosts are a family who are extremely accommodating and friendly during your stay - the best customer service I have received on holiday. Breakfast was great and left us feeling full every morning. A few minutes drive from a supermarket and no more than 10 mins to central Tavira. Holiday more suited to having a vehicle if you plan to explore but also a lovely spot to relax with enough nearby

    What a treat! As soon as we arrived and were offered coffee and homemade orange cake we knew this charming accommodation was going to be special. Beautiful breakfast served buffet style with additional treats like white figs from the garden. Immaculate rooms and surroundings in a quiet location but a short drive from Tavira.

    Our room was almost off a courtyard accessible to the lovely garden where avacados and Lemons grew. Further down on the garden there was an orange grove. All of this fresh produce was served for breakfast. Each room had a liitle pruvate area to sit.. Pool on the grounds where towels were provided.. Breakfast was suberb. And the fresh baked orange cake was mouthwatering.. Towels were changed regularly. And the decor of room was simple but so beautiful.touches. Perfect good big shower.. And Mel the dog and Rico the cat made friends with all guests where we all basked in the sun together... 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 rating.. The storks daily entertained us with the beak clapping..

    The Almargem Farm House is a stunningly beautiful property ran by the sweetest souls. The stay felt more like I was staying with relatives rather than strangers. The place is impeccably clean and smells wonderful. The service couldn’t possibly be any better. I’m vegan, and my experience has been that plant based food isn’t a big part of Algarve cuisine. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary needs cooking up a feast for breakfast with roasted vegetables, avo on toast, nuts and fruit. They gave great recommendations and accommodated a super late check out with a smile. My stay was memorable. Thank you for your genuine smiles and care. Greatly appreciated! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
