Quinta das Barradas

We wanted to visit the Algarve without staying in the overly touristy areas and this farm was a nice alternative. The breakfast , included in the room rate, included fresh fruit, cheese , meats, bread, yogurt, cereals, coffee, tea and juice and was served in a dining room with a very nice ajoining outdoor patio. The rooms were large and clean with a good size bathroom and a huge closet. I think they were really set up more for longer stays rather than our two nights. The rooms had outside access so you could come and go without disturbing other guests or the family that owns the farm.

Unique Quality: On site rental cars, which is good as they are about a 10 minute drive from Logos which I think may be the nearest beach. They also supply large towels to take to the beach. We got several great recommendations from including a beach I never would have found on my own.

They have a nice central location. In one day we were able to visit Sagres, Selema, the beach and Silves.

They have onsite sports and games. and would probably be a great place for kids!

Directions: east of Lagos on 124, turn at the sign to "barragem", at the windmill fork right, downhill for 400m, then 1st left- very small sign - they are at the end of the road
