A Quiet & Relaxing oasis! Spacious, very clean and well appointed rooms. Loved the pool for a dip after exploring the region. Enjoyed the rooftop patio with its views, perfect for a glass of wine in the evening or a morning coffee. Delightful breakfast each morning with fresh eggs from hens on the property. Nice to stroll amongst the orange, mango, and other fruit trees. Siam restaurant is exceptional for dinner. The owners and especially the staff are amazing! Thank you Fem, Noi and the lady who cleaned our room (didn’t get her name) for looking after us! If you’re looking to relax and unwind this is a great spot. Set in a lovely pastoral setting within a short 15-20 minute drive to Faro and close to the A22 highway for exploring the Algarve region. Thank you Faramarz, Rose and all the staff for a wonderful stay.
