Monte Do Alamo - Turismo Rural

We were tempted not to write this review as we wanted to keep the secret of this lovely agroturismo to ourselves! Located in the countryside just on the edge of Tavira in the east Algarve we couldn’t have asked for a better welcome and hospitality from Rosaria, Mariana and her sister. Our spacious room with its enormous, comfy bed and little patio was one of just a few others surrounded by landscaped grounds. These included a plunge pool, small swimming pool and a covered outdoor dining area where, weather permitting, breakfast is served. Dinner is also available three evenings a week and these are not to be missed! All our meals, continental breakfasts included, were delicious and were accompanied by wines from the family’s vineyard in northern Portugal. Mariana and Rosaria were very attentive but with a light touch and nothing was too much trouble, equally all the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is so peaceful it is an ideal retreat in which to chill and relax for as long as you want. That said there are interesting towns within reasonable distance to visit plus fabulous beaches and excellent nature reserves close at hand. Tavira has lots of excellent restaurants for those evenings when dinner is not provided.

Absolutely amazing place with nice Mediterranean garden, a sweet pool and attentive staff. Had a really nice stay and they prepare every two nights a delicious dinner. Book directly with them because they can help you with everything. Was a pleasure.
