Maurits Netherlands

very nice place surrounded in beautiful landscape - also people are friendly and helpful. breakfast was fresh and there‘s a lot to choose from!

Leonie Switzerland

Lovely, relaxing place to stay in the middle of Aljezur’s green nature. At arrival, Joana gave us a warm welcome and guided tour. The accommodation we booked consisted of a tent with a double bed and 2 single beds, which made it a super large place. Outside was the ecological toilet and shower, which was a real revelation. We felt like reborn after only two nights connecting with nature. Great recommendation!

We really enjoyed our stay in Nature. It is truely inspiring to see how Joana and Mario embrace nature. All accomodation is hand made and has an unique design. We had a very warm welcome by one of staff members Franchesca who gave us a small tour and showed us our romantic hill hut. Thx for this nice experience! Kr Milan and Demi

We love Quinta do Alma. This time has been our second time in this paradise. This year we brought our 1-year-old baby and it was even more enjoyable.

Sara Spain

Unique place. Chill vibe. Excellent breakfast. Great service. Perfect for access to surfing beaches. A bit far from Lagos/Faro but has all you need in city center. Worth the experience. All details well thought through.
