GermanyA wonderful place to disconect, relax and listen to the wind in the trees; you might as well hear the sound of the sheeps and donkeys 😃and meet the two gentle giants guardians of the place. I recomand a massage with Melisa (exceptional). Joana is a perfect host.

In the world class Aljezur – the best hidden pearl of Europe’s West Coast – a new ecological retreat opens for just a few.
At Quinta Alma you will find a home where you can relax in glamorous hand made safari shelters and get inspired by the amazing local natural landscape.
Quinta Alma is a private and intimate natural ecological retreat. It is the result of Joana and Mario’s passion and their vision for an inspiring and relaxing experience in the nature. Quinta Alma is a magical place, totally off grid and hidden in the mountains of Monchique but right next to Aljezur, in Algarve’s Atlantic coast.
Quinta Alma is a growing organic farm. Here we are eager to try and share permaculture and natural building experiences, in total harmony with nature. It is a place for those that want to have a close but yet comfortable experience with the natural elements.
We believe that the inner and outer beauty of nature inspires the human soul and tenders the human heart. That is why we call this place Quinta Alma, a home where your soul can expand and feel inspired.

Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
