Beautiful, peaceful and authentic. Everything you need while staying uncluttered and simple.
A terrific place to wind down and enjoy rich gardens (well stocked with flowers and fruit trees), dramatic views all the way to the south coast, a peaceful rural setting, and easy access to a good selection of restaurants and other amenities. Quinta da Relva is carefully designed and equipped (no TV but who cares? ) with a nice pool, multiple sitting areas to take advantage of sun or shade, a practical and efficient kitchen, comfortable beds, and a fireplace in case of cool weather. The two bathrooms are modest and small respectively, but functional. It's a perfect retreat if you want to walk/hike - the Monchique area is unbeatable for this - or paint, or write a book, or just relax under the pergola and think important thoughts. Another option, one of our favourites, involves sitting on the rooftop terrace with a glass of wine, enjoying the view and the bird songs. Life can be a challenge! A big bonus comes in the form of caretaker Amalia, who arrives 3 times weekly to keep things in order. Low key, very sweet, and very helpful. Net net: Quinta da Relva is low on the glitz scale, but it's an absolute win if you want tranquility and a relaxed outdoorsy lifestyle along with comfortable facilities and readily accessible restaurants and other services. We'll certainly be back.

Paradise re-visited!
We had the most perfect two-week stay at Quinta da Relva again. We love the rustic nature of this traditional farm house, cool in the hot summer and warm and cozy in the winter. We started each day with breakfast al fresco, then spent lazy days by the pool reading and listening to the birds singing and the leaves rustling gently in the breeze. It's a very special place. In the evening, we enjoyed watching the World Cup with the locals, down in the cafés of charming Monchique, and on the occasional day, we managed to pull ourselves away from the pool for an excursion to the south coast and the sparkling waters of the Algarve. A real holiday.

Nice holiday home
We spent 2.5 weeks in Diana’s holiday home and we really enjoyed the garden and the spacious pool. The house itself is simple equipped and furnished but with comfortable beds (good mattresses, not too soft). We had some issues with the hot water supply since the hot water was coming and going but at the end of the day no big deal. From our point of view a useful improvement would be fly screens to have the opportunity to vent the bedrooms at night and keep the mosquitoes outside. Amalia the Portuguese cleaning lady is such a nice person and did a great job - she came three times a week and the house and garden is well cleaned accordingly. The swimming pool is awesome and maintained on a weekly basis. We enjoyed it a lot.

Beautiful house and garden but cold in winter
We went to this house to relax and enjoy the Algarve. The house is old and it has beautiful exposed beams inside. The house was clean and the beds sleep well. The bathroom in basic but functional. Unfortunately, it is hard to keep the living room warm in late autumn/winter since it is double-height but the electric heaters in the kitchen and bedrooms are sufficient for those rooms. The kitchen has everything you need but kitchen tops are too low for someone who is 1.85 m. The garden and the views are beautiful. The house provides an oasis of rest. In the morning you wake up with the sound of birds in the grape vines which span over the entrance of the house. There are multiple restaurants on the road down to Monchique and there is a supermarket in Monchique itself. The people of the rental agency in Monchique are polite and helpful. All in all, we had a relaxing 5 days there and really enjoyed our stay.

Wobderful Mountain-House
We had wonderful days in this beautiful mountain villa. The pool was too cold for swimming in this time of year, but we still had better weather than expected. From the house you can wonderful hiking. The south and west coast can be reached in about 30 minutes by car. Our favorite beach was that of Alvor, which is very child friendly. The most beautiful place for us was Lagos. Great lanes, great food and a harbor from which you can make good boat trips. In the evening our house offered us a barbecue and a large cozy fireplace. The housekeeping was very careful, keeping everything in order and not bothering at all. On foot, the restaurant "a Rampa" can be reached in 15 minutes. Good and very cheap food. Great service and excellent Frango Piri-Piri. All in all, we had wonderful days. Thanks Diana and hopefully see you soon. Sorry for my bad English.

beaucoup de charme
Très agréable à vivre, beaucoup de charme et de calme. Arbres fruitiers dans le jardin! Matelas du lit double a changer néanmoins, il est hors d'âge et c'est difficile à deux!
