Overall it very peaceful and quiet. their owner was very loving, efficient and caring we will have breakfast where we will have conversation about life, our journeys, etc.we will definitely come back with my family in the future.
Wonderful - rural property in a lovely quiet location. Great welcome and help throughout our stay - invaluable help in locating local restaurants (which were excellent) and possible places to visit each day - some great incite into local events.
Breakfast was excellent with great choice. The room was clean and modern with lots of space.
We loved our stay and would definitely go back. Highly recommended.
Unlike busy Faro, this is in a nice area following a rural unpaved road. Very nice place to relax away from the noise, to observe the local birds and close enough to the popular destinations. Antonio the host is a wealth of knowledge and grows a lot of fruits and plants on site. About 15 mins to Faro’s airport and then MAR shopping center .
Really lovely peaceful place to stay. Ideal for a relaxing stay. My only negative was our two bed apartment - one bedroom had a window, the other didn't, totally enclosed. I found this uncomfortable as I like to have window open when I sleep and its nice to have a view. We had to leave the air con on all night.
Quinta do Mocho is an absolute gem! This tranquil haven is perfect for a relaxing getaway.
We loved everything about it. The peace and quiet were a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle. The beautiful surroundings completely immerse you in nature. The accommodations were comfortable, and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.
The friendly dogs added to the charm, and Mr. Antonio's helpful advice on local attractions and restaurants was invaluable. The location is fantastic – a perfect base for exploring all that the Algarve has to offer.
We loved it so much that we decided to return to Quinta do Mocho for our last days in the Algarve. This truly speaks to how wonderful our experience was.
I will be brutally honest with this review because every review I read made out that it was a perfect place to stay.
Firstly it is incredibly difficult to find even using Garmin, Google Maps and a nonexistent post code.
I can only imagine other guests arrive here in their beautiful air conditioned 4x4s.
The road here is horrendous and totally unsuitable for a heavy and very expensive motorcycle. The directions are abysmal and totally ambiguous; however the proprietor could see no problem (it's ok for him as he lives here)
I asked if I could stay just one night and cancel as I feel I have been misled - but this was declined!
There is no bar here - no possibly for an evening meal and no cold drinks, and it's 40C outside !
Additionally there is nowhere to walk to for a meal, beer or coffee - everything is drive drive drive !!
TV didn't work for my first night but now it has been fixed ; and the aircon sounds like a faulty coffee grinder !
On the plus side it's quiet - very quiet.
The pool is ok for a dip, and breakfast was good with beautiful fresh orange juice
Antonio is the owner and he couldn’t be nicer, more helpful and accommodating. The hotel is on a dirt road in a quiet and secluded spot, but don’t let that be an issue, the place is quiet, friendly, and you won’t be getting crowded out of a place by the pool. I highly recommend this hotel.
this is the most qiute rural cleanest hotel you have been in the location is stunning and the silence around you unbelievable thr breakfast that is included in your stay superb value for money and thr only downpart is getting acess in the dark u need google maps down a track daylight is fine and your hire car will not get any marks on i recommend this hotel u will not be disappointed.
Very nice place, location was a bit further away from where I would’ve liked to have been based on this particular occasion but that’s on me as the trip was hastily arranged due to our team playing in the Europa league final however Antonio was a welcoming host and we would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone wanting a relaxing and peaceful time in quiet surroundings. The old town of Faro is not too far if you want to stroll
around and eat out but you really need a car to get there as the roads are quite basic rural single track until you reach the main roads and I don’t think there is a regular bus service close to the complex but overall we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the place to others looking for a beautiful quiet location.
10/10 service. It’s the little things Antonio does
Me and my best mate were staying for a couple of days whilst going to the europa league final. We had our trepidations, especially on the drive as it is a country road for around 10 minutes but the hotel was great. As clean as you could hope for and Antonio, the host/owner couldn’t have done more for us. He made us sandwiches the day we arrived and served us beer all day. Then the second day he brought us 6 beers to put in our mini fridge in the room as we decided to have a day on our balcony. At lunchtime we were a little hungry so decided we’d ask if he could make us up some lunch and he made us spaghetti bolognese.
Both mornings we got a brilliant breakfast with omelettes, bacon, toast, cereal, yoghurt, fruit and cake. With a choice of tea, coffee, water, milk or orange juice to drink. I would recommend letting the host know if you won’t make breakfast as he has a lot of it sitting on the table waiting on you in the morning and only prepares the hot food when you come down. We warned Antonio not to make us breakfast on the final morning as we were on an early flight so wouldn’t be there. He arranged a driver to take us to the airport as he said we would struggle for an Uber before 7am. When we got back to the hotel that night he had left us sandwiches, fruit and a breakfast shake to have for our breakfasts before our journey home.
The only warning I would give people is Antonio has 2 dogs, they are very friendly and just want a fuss but it may put some off.
10/10
Excellent hôtel que je connais depuis 2020 et dans lequel j'ai déjà effectué trois longs séjours. La chambre est très confortable, très spacieuse et propre. L'environnement est très calme et le petit déjeuner vraiment copieux.
Endroit sympathique et très tranquille dans la campagne, un peu compliqué d'accès car le gps indique des chemins de terre très inconfortables. Antonio le gérant est très sympa et parle plusieures langues.
buffet correct mais minimaliste,
Parking cool, piscine sympa mais pas très
grande, chambre au top confort endroit à recommander
Meget fredeligt sted. Vi sov skønt i velisolerede værelser. Med åbne vinduer var det naturens lyde der kunne høres.
Antonio er en dejlig vært som serverede god morgenmad og havde mange gode råd om området. Han er meget hjælpsom.
Séjour sur Faro. Emplacement idéal pour cet hébergement exceptionnel. Antonio est très accueillant et serviable. Un homme bon. Cet hébergement est situé en retrait (ne soyez pas étonné de la route d’accès, ça ne dure pas longtemps). La chambre est merveilleuse, spacieuse, moderne et très très propre. Le petit déjeuner y est excellent. Allez y les yeux fermés !!!!!
Lieu agréable avec piscine. Calme et typique. Hébergement très correctement propres. Propriétaire très accueillant. Seulement a 15m de Faro et de l aéroport. Merci pour ce temps passé dans ces lieux.
Super séjour dans cet hébergement ! L’hôte Antonio est très gentil, à l’écoute et toujours de très bons conseils. Hébergement top, extérieur tres joli et petit déjeuner incroyable !
Je recommande fortement cet hébergement !
Merci encore pour cet agréable séjour :)
Exceptionnel !!!!! L'appartement était parfait, propre et bien équipé, les petits déjeuners magiques, la literie excellente, le panorama extra. Et que dire des hôtes ? Waouh !!!!!
