Spent a week here for a well needed holiday, and it certainly did the trick of allowing us to relax and unwind! It is a beautiful place, which has been thoughtfully and tastefully developed. We spent many a relaxing day by the pool or enjoying drinks on the terrace in the evenings. Fernando and Elizabeth were very welcoming and friendly,... More

This is one of those lovely places that you think, if I tell everyone, they'll all want to come ... It is a seriously gorgeous place isolated from the tourist throng, yet only 15 minutes from Lagos and the beach at Port de Mos, 30 minutes from the west coast quiet beaches of the Atlantic. From breakfast on the terrace,... More

We had a lovely week in this beautiful resort. The owners, Fernando and Elizabeth, could not have been more welcoming and helpful with lots of good advice where to go and where to eat. Fernando is a font of knowledge on the history,nature and agriculture of the area. Breakfast on the terrace with homegrown fruit and produce was the perfect... More

We had reviewed about ten Algarve resorts on-line before choosing this one...and the homework was very worthwhile. My partner and I stayed for a week and felt we could have stayed on for a month, so relaxing and friendly is this wonderful family run green resort. The accomodation is well-appointed apartment style with beautiful minimalist antique furniture and huge beds.... More

We stayed in this beautiful family-run resort for 8 nights between July and Aug 2011; we found this location on TripAdvisor, comparing 6 others top rated places in Algarve. It is worth its very good reputation, we were in a little oasis, feeling very calm and relaxed, great (locally grown) food for breakfast, clean place, nice rooms with A/C and... More

Lovely location on top of hill with spectacular views to the coast. Two swimming pools with cooling breezes being away from the coast. Fernando a& Elizabeth are brilliant hosts, delicious breakfasts with eggs from their chickens and fresh food from the garden. Wonderful salads for lunch too if required! The bedrooms are a good size and the modern bathrooms are... More

Top quality provided by top owners. Every detail in this green resort is an act of love, made with care, tenderness and their own hands so many times. A 4+ breakfast, in which room you should take a close look at the 'small details' of Elizabeth, the enjoyable delightful lady of the house. Every corner is clean and safe and... More

My wife and I have just returned from Monte da Bravura and we can only reiterate what reviewer 'tara0211', dated 26/05/11 has said. We feel as if we have been to heaven for two weeks and we will be definitely returning! Elizabeth and Fernando are wonderful and delightful hosts and their staff are first class. I'm sorry to read the... More
