Nestled between a Natural Reserve that is home to pink flamingos, the historic town of Castro Marim and the endless sandy beaches of the Algarve lies this active traditional farm, surrounded by 12 hectares of organic Mediterranean orchards with figs, oranges, olives and carob trees. The nine individually and lovingly designed apartments and houses provide fully equipped kitchens, comfortable beds, private bathrooms, free Wi-Fi and private patios with a view of the gardens. Guests can pick organic vegetables in one of the gardens to cook in the privacy of their home or enjoy the delicious meals in the cozy on-site restaurant, the Taberna Remexida. For recreation there is a swimming pool with sun-deck as well as a private beach in walking distance at the lake of the farm. The beautiful Praia Verde Beach is only a 5-minute drive away. For the younger guests there is an exciting playground and the chance to watch goats, chicken, turkeys or little pigs.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.

    The property is very unique with a quaint farm feel. The little houses are basic yet incredibly comfortable and relaxing with a holistic feel. The owner is a special human and makes everyone feel welcomed instantly.

    Loved the house with patio in a beautiful country setting. Memorable experience eating the amazing dinner at the farm. We went for a swim in the lake a short walk from the house.

Company info

I'm the youngest of our family and the manager of the farm. I live here all the year with my 8 and 11 year old boys. Always available for our guests needs onsite or to help them finding their dream vacation activities on the surroundings.

Property info

This is our family farm! A old roman settlement, in my family hands since 18th century. Became certified organic in 1990 through my father work and nowadays is like a small ecological and artistic community. Beauty is our goal, in harmony with nature

Neighborhood info

While you are here, you may choose between the most diverse activities: observe birds in the Natural Reserve; stroll among roman Saltpans; visit the castles of Castro Marim, Cacela Velha or Alcoutim. If you prefer you can even participate in the process of fruit collecting, salt flower extraction. If you choose so, you may walk through the extense sand plains of nearby beaches or visit Ayamonte (Spain) 6km away. Everything slowly, very slowly.
