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.

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!

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.

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.

Nice - but had a bad experience

This is a lovely setting and would have been a wonderful experience had our room not had a very strong odor (kind of musty). We made a request to move as soon as we got in the room, but they were fully booked and could not accommodate the change. We were supposed to stay two nights and cancelled the second night and stayed somewhere else. Our booking was non-refundable/changeable, but the owner worked with us and Hotels.com and we were able to get the second night charge removed. Would definitely come back and stay in a different room.

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!!
