The negative review popped up on here just a couple of days before our trip and it got us worried. Should we cancel and stay somewhere else? I am pleased to say we decided to go and check it out for ourselves and we were so pleased we did. Tipi Algarve is a lovely place. The tipis and safari tents... More

I have never reviewed a holiday before but after my stay at Tipi Algarve I feel the hosts Calvin and Nadine wholly deserve my time and effort to write a review. Tipi Algarve, for me, is an original and heartfelt idea of Nadine & Calvin's, which they have successfully sculpted out of their passion and vision to provide guests with... More

We stayed as a family with 2 children aged 3 & 9, in August, at a time which overlaps some of the less positive recent reviews and our experience was very different. We had been on a Tipi Holiday in Cornwall several years ago and can assure everyone that the facilities and the warmth of welcome at Tipi Algarve compares... More

just came back a couple of days ago form Portugal. First thing of course we had a great holiday, Portugal is a beautiful country and the beaches of Algarve are really breathtaking. The Tipi stay was also pleasant. Calvin was an incredible host giving us a lot of hints and being altogether very kind and helpful. However I must admit,... More

A great place to get away from it all - off the beaten track, but also close enough to be able to get to beaches, towns etc. Tipis and Yurts are lovely and well thought out and we had a small kitchen area that we used for breakfast and snacks - after all I wasnt here to cook family meals... More

I was travelling in Portugal for almost 2 months and stayed at Tipi Algarve as a WOOFER for 2 weeks. It was, without a doubt, my favourite experience of the whole trip. Being out in the sticks I didn’t expect the comforting necessesities and was pleasantly surprised when I was able to have a hot shower daily. Nadine, Calvin &... More

I have just read the only negative comment of all the comments about Tipi Algarve (TA). It was this time last year when we went. We knew what to expect from the weather but not from TA. I stand by the review I wrote last year. It's a fantastic place, away from the rat race in which most of us... More

Spent a week at tipi algarve with our 2 year old son for our honeymoon. The tipis themselves are stunning to look at and are very comfortable inside. We loved the honesty bar and the food was fantastic, especially the tomatoes which were in abundance when we stayed! The whole place is laid back and relaxed a real chance to... More

I stayed here with a friend for about one week as we traveled through Portugal. Tipi Algarve was a breath of fresh air. First this is a gorgeous location, and the gardens add to the natural beauty. Second, the food was great. We ate food fresh from the garden for many of our meals. The fresh salad and veggies were... More
