We had been looking for accomodation for a while for our holiday in Portugal in August, when we stumbled across Tipi Algarve. My girlfriend needed a litle persuading as we hadnt stayed anywhere like this before and she was expecting a nice apartment with a sea view. She agreed to spend the first half our holiday here but by the... more

Booked as a "last minute" choice by my wife, I was a little sceptical about the holiday we were to have with our two daughters aged 3.5 years and 15 months. I needn't have worried as staying at Tipi Algarve in the yurt was an amazing experience. Nadine and Calvin have created a fantastic business that reflects their personalities and... more

Without doubt this was a really special and memorable trip, and after a weeks holiday we didn't want to go home and we cannot sing the praises of Calvin and Nadine enough. Local food and wine was lovely, and the surrounding villages and towns offered plenty of sightseeing and culture. But I have to admit I enjoyed just as much... more

We have just returned from our second visit to Tipi Algarve to visit Nadine and Calvin again. It was every bit as good as it was last year, in fact better, if that is possible, as they have extended the accommodation and facilities since we were last there.

That said, we didn't want to be far from things to do, so the location in the foothills near all of the attractions of the Algarve was a natural draw. We also fancied something a bit different from a... more

What a lovely place!! Great location and friendly people (& fun dogs!!). Nadine had been helpful even whilst I was initially booking the accommodation- sending info on outdoor activites etc . We stayed in the Casa which is a lovely self-contained Annex to their house but is totally private with its own sun terrace/patio. We are very tempted to stay... more

We have just returned from a second visit to Tipi Algarve, what a fantastic place they have there. I just had to write something! My first visit was in in June 2008, a group of us went out for a birthday, it was superb! We were welcomed by Nadine, Calvin, and other guests, and within a very short time we... more
