Pros: housekeeping and kitchen staff were very nice. Breakfast was good. Grounds were unique. Plants, trees, and shrubs were well maintained. Cons: the property was next to a very noisy road making it difficult to enjoy outdoor space. Signs were posted in the bath room requesting patrons to not flush toilet paper down the bowl and instead to place soiled toilet paper in a small waste basket.

We have stayed at the Quinta do Carcol several times and we love it. Each cottage is unique and well equiped and set in beautiful well kept gardens. The staff are all really friendly & helpful. Its an easy 10 minute walk walk into Tavira, a lovely Portugese town with lots of restaurants to choose from. We will definitely be back.

This was our favorite place in the Algarve! Not only is Tavira a lovely town, not so built up like all the others, but Quinta de Caracol is a soothing oasis. Yes, a bit of a walk into town but very doable but it's lovely, quiet, the rooms are each different and so comfortable. The grounds and small pool so wonderful for relaxation. And the two sisters who run it so kind. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Like a country estate

Lots of places to sit by a fountain or in a garden. It felt like a stay at a country estate - only a 10-minute walk from town center. Loved the distant view of the sea from near the pristine tennis courts. A former family farm - there is still a small orange grove, chickens, a peacock, parakeets and even a family of guinea pigs much to my amusement and delight! Very clean, comfortably furnished. Wonderful breakfast - warm croissants, eggs cooked to order, plus much more! Great staff!

Great stay

We spent two brief but enjoyable nights at Quinta do Caracol at the end of November. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment and the space was great, clean and comfortable. There were two bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and great communal living area and kitchen. With a Lidl and Aldi both within walking distance it was convenient to pick up some groceries for breakfast and snacks for our stay. The property was serene with lots of water fountains, birds and orange trees. A very peaceful location and easily walkable to the city center, the location and value were perfect.
