Set among an orange grove, the air-conditioned rooms boast rich fabrics and a colorful décor. Each room has a flat-screen cable TV, free WiFi, digital safety deposit box, mini-bar, coffee machine and bathroom amenities in the private bathroom, along with a hairdryer.

Farm House’s restaurant serves Algarvian delicacies, all made from fresh ingredients including fish from the local markets and the resort’s own fruits and herbs. The restaurant is based on the concept of sharing and includes a continuous all-day service where the wood oven and the Josper grill are the main players in the actual cooking of fresh local ingredients.
