A beautiful country farmhouse with views over the Algarve countryside - you stay in the main house or separate little cottages

Read guest comments

Wherever you choose to stay you get a continental breakfast of fresh breads, natural yogurt, jams and honey, local meats and cheeses, fresh oranges from the orchard, figs and lemons in season. If you want something more robust then just ask Charlie ahead and he can rustle up scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, even a glass of fizz to go with it. The main house has a reading room, a grand reception hall and a self-contained studio apartment with its own kitchen.

Bedrooms with very thick walls are all a good size with high, beamed ceilings, lovely old shutters and tiled floors, TVs, comfortable seating and the means to make coffee and tea, so you'll feel quite private. Arrange yoga, breathwork or a massage in the converted barn in the grounds or simply wander through the expansive grounds finding the plunge pool and pétanque pitch.

Walk through the orange groves and undulating hills with stunning views, hearing nothing but birdsong.

Local points of interest from Charles Robbins:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Charles Robbins:

  • Unique and bursting with character, Quinta da Colina sits within a delightful Algarvian landscape of undulating hills, pretty farmsteads and orange groves and is within easy reach of fabulous beaches, scenic fishing villages and charming Tavira.
  • Nearby beautiful Tavira is rich in history, home to handsome architecture, a bohemian atmosphere and offers countless dining options, from traditional back street eateries to Michelin star haute cuisine.
  • The local coastline encompasses the Ria Formosa natural park, a stunning natural environment of lagoons, islets, sand islands and home to an impressive array of marine and birdlife.
  • Visit the morning market in Tavira for local colour and atmosphere to purchase seasonal and locally produced vegetables, fruits, meats and of course, when in Portugal freshly caught fish and seafood.
  • See more on two wheels! Hire a bike and explore the Ecovia along the coast, through local salt marches, taking in the Ria Formosa natural park and more...
  • Enjoy a boat trip out to sea and witness dolphins in their natural environment, or for the less adventurous, take a trip across the lagoons of the Ria Formosa on an Eco solar powered boat..

"Qunta do Colina is so charming I am loath to recommend it in case it is full next May when I want to return! Delightful rooms, beautifully designed using carefully scavenged antiques combined with a subtly modern version of a renovated Portuguese farmhouse. A positive feast for dinner and breakfast served in a charming covered terrace (converted farmbuilding) overlooking the valley. The hidden swimming pool was delightful as well"

"Very Very cool - the property is unique, orange groves, Olive trees and Pomagrante bushes. most creative pool and wonderful herb garden for walking. Our room was not flashy but very tastefully decorated with great beds and a very nice en suite. Breakfast for outside and inside was a wonderful way to start the day. Tassie is very gracious about picnic lunches on short notice and a wonderful source of information for hitting the hidden local sites. Do not miss a trip to Mertola - well worth the easy drive. When you stay, please say hi to Oscar the cat, he is special. Have a wonderful trip and do not miss out on this B&B"
