Hotel Rural Quinta do Marco in 8800-164, open MaySeptember.

Guests arrive at a working rural quinta in the Algarve's countryside, where white-washed buildings and Mediterranean gardens create an authentic Portuguese backdrop.

The property accommodates ceremonies and receptions across multiple indoor and outdoor spaces, with on-site lodging allowing wedding parties to extend celebrations into the evening.

Rated 4.8/5, this hotel venue combines operating farm activities with curated event facilities.

Beautiful rooms and location. Everything was very clean and the staff was nice. Idyllic view of the country side and a gorgeous sunrise. This is very clearly a family hotel, what we were unaware of. If you are looking for a quiet time-out to relax and unwind, this wouldn‘t be the place for us personally. There are a lot of (small) children around. Esp. in the morning at breakfast with children, sometimes not really supervised by their parents, running, touching the food etc. The breakfast area felt a bit crammed with tables in general. For families this is definitely the perfect place.
