Quinta do Mel

Maravilloso para una estancia tranquila y a 15 minutos a pie de la playa y a un corto trayecto en coche de otras zonas. Tengo problemas de movilidad y me las arreglé bien para caminar hacia y desde la playa. Inicialmente ingresa al hotel a través del restaurante y al momento del check-in se le dará acceso a una entrada independiente. El restaurante tiene un menú extenso. Se utilizan maravillosos productos de la propia granja, como cordero, verduras, mermeladas, hierbas y té. Tomé un excelente té de naranja y menta con un pastel de miel :) Me alojé 4 noches en la habitación 3. La habitación era bastante pequeña pero estaba bien para una persona. Precioso interior y muebles. Suelos de piedra. Las contraventanas hacen que la habitación esté completamente a oscuras por la noche. Cama muy cómoda. Aire acondicionado, hervidor de agua, agua, gel de ducha/lavamanos ecológico en el baño. Toallas separadas para la piscina. Recibí algunos comentarios sobre cómo se podría mejorar la habitación y los transmití directamente al hotel. El desayuno fue lo más destacado: ¡el jugo de naranja fresco es delicioso! Fruta, museli, bollería, mermeladas, queso, jamón, huevos, pan. Todo delicioso. Puede ver por qué muchos huéspedes que no pertenecen al hotel vienen aquí solo para desayunar, almorzar o cenar. Preciosos jardines que incluyen asientos para que pueda disfrutar de la granja y la flora. La pequeña piscina con tumbonas es un lugar encantador para relajarse durante el día. También hay una sala de televisión separada. El personal aquí fue muy atento y, aunque a menudo estaba ocupado, estaban felices de ayudar, eran bondadosos y trabajadores. Tengo muchas esperanzas de volver a visitarlo y, mientras tanto, espero poder pedir algunas de las deliciosas mermeladas y productos en línea. PD. En caso de que no tengas coche como yo, desplazarte es muy fácil. Caminaba hasta la playa y para cuando visitaba otros lugares tomaba un Uber. P.ej. Hotel a Albufeira: 9,5 euros Hotel a Praia Santa Eulália: 6,2 euros Hotel a Olhos de Agua: 3,8 euros

Visited for my birthday as we have been numerous times when in OLA for coffee's during the day and buying produce to take home-orange jam is to die for! We went in the morning and double checked out booking-yes all booked in for 7.30. Arrived to be ignored for 10 mins stood at the doorway then desk area, finally acknowledged and told -not shown- pointed to a table at the bottom of the extend covered outdoor area. We sat down, waited another 10 mins for a menu, didnt take or ask if we wanted a drink. Waiter came back asked for menu order after 20 mins, then we asked about a drinks menu whilst taking this order he huffed and went off again-very faulty towers (over 40's only) yes came back and waited for our drink order so now under pressure to order a wine-just had malbec as that was easy. Food arrived another 30 mins later-yes I expect a wait as it is to be cooked to order, however one plate had been on a hot plate and was now mush-mushroom risotto. The best thing probably was the generous potion however wouldnt go back for dinner agian, could have been a one off but not worth the risk when the bill is over £100 when there are lots of other/better/favourite restaurants in OLD. Sorry Quinta do Mel, but will still walk over for coffee.

horrible service, waited almost an hour for our food and when asked about it they gave us a lame escuse that the order never got to the kitchen… really ??? took 45minutes to realize that ??? ipad wasn’t working?? the waiters were only worried about setting up tables for dinner and yawning the whole time , wasn’t well organized and customer service was poor. We decided to leave … and go eat somewhere else

This place is so lovely. The pics don’t do it justice. It’s a working farm with a gorgeous restaurant attached a bit out of town surrounded by farmland, has 11 rooms I think in total. We took a bit of a punt on it thinking we just wanted to go somewhere quiet and it didn’t really matter as long as it had a pool to sit by and so glad we did. 3 days of almost silence in the day and a lovely meal at night. The breakfast is fantastic, the staff are all amazing. We are looking to rebook for a week in October! 10 mins walk to a few local bars and 20 mins to the beach, cliffs, golf course and touristy bits. We spent 2 nights here as a couple before a family get together in Albufeira. Didn’t really see anyone else even though the rooms were full, at most there was another 2 people at the pool. Restaurant gets a really nice atmosphere at night, seems both nights there was some kind of celebration on. Food and drink were great throughout.

We have visited Quinta do Mel on several occasions, though we haven’t lodged there. All the occasions we were there we liked the food, the service, and the staff. We have tried the brunch, which was good and very fulfilling. On that occasion, as we were accompanied by friends that didn’t eat cold cuts, immediately they were presented with a substitution. Another time, we were there also for breakfast that can be ordered either as standard breakfast or à la carte. One weekend, we had the opportunity to attend a Wine Dinner. It was a wine pairing dinner that had several tasty and well-presented courses paired with very good wines. Our last visit before writing this review was yesterday, when we had afternoon tea with friends. All these occasions were enhanced with the delightful surroundings at different times of the day. We weren’t disappointed. Last but not least, we did the guided tour at Quinta do Mel’s farm to learn about the production of aromatic herbs. Since the tour was interesting, we also visited and did the tour at twin Quinta do Freixo to learn about their production gems and liquors. Overall, these places are highly recommended for visiting.

We’ve just returned from a 10 days stay at this wonderful Quinta. The staff is exceptional : from the lovely cleaning ladies who make sure that your room and bathroom is spotless, up to the kitchen staff who make your stay absolutely great and cook fabulous, up to the waiters who are so friendly that you feel at home. Many thanks to Marié, Ronaldo and Sjabi. Your smiles made our day. The peace and quiet was all we needed. The sheep and goats were a great surplus! Thank you all for making our holiday one of the best and lots of success in the future. Many hugs, Sandy and Guy, Belgium
