Hoteles ideales para familias en Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo

Fantástico hotel rural situado en plena naturaleza del Algarve y aún así muy bien comunicado, a 15 minutos más o menos de Tavira. Amplisimas habitaciones y baños con unas vistas espectaculares, en la finca hay multitud de plantas y árboles, animales, burro, ovejas, gallinas, pavos reales, tortugas, peces y amigables gatos todos muy bien cuidados. El desayuno no es para nada el típico desayuno de hotel con una gran cantidad de comida de pésima calidad, todo lo contrario hay menos oferta pero de una calidad exquisita, fruta fresca cortada, galletas y bizcocho caseros, bollería no se si casera pero por lo menos artesanal, huevos revueltos de sus propias gallinas, queso fresco y curado, zumo de naranja hecho con las naranjas de la propia finca etc. Nosotros hemos cenado los tres dias en el hotel por comodidad y así evitar desplazamientos nocturnos y ha sido un acierto, al igual que el desayuno la oferta no es muy amplia pero de gran calidad, disponen de una carta de especialidades fija muy interesante y aparte el equipo de cocina propone todos los días una carta diferente con entrantes, principales de pescado y carne a elegir y postre todo ello buenísimo, buen producto, buena ejecución y bien emplatado y a un precio muy razonable,que más se puede pedir. Pero lo mejor de todo es la increíble amabilidad y competencia de absolutamente todo el equipo del hotel. En definitiva una experiencia inolvidable que ha superado nuestras expectativas.

If you're looking for a great place to chill Herdade da Corte is where you need to go. A Rio Grande style and feel about it, surrounded by fabulous hilly views, orange, lemon trees, olive groves, and pure adulterated silence. You hear the whisper of the breeze throughout the outdoor areas which have casual seating dotted about, a sweeping view, and a to die for salt-water pool. If you want 5 star service and a butler this isn't the place for you! Our favourite time of the day was a leisurely hour and half munching our way through the buffet breakfast, consisting of 4 different freshly made juices, a good selection of local produce, bread, rolls, pastries and cake, cheese, cold meats, fruits, yoghurt, and natural cereals - while idly looking out to the hills. There's also an array of teas, and the coffee is via a machine which is good - but goat's milk! We've travelled the world extensively and it's rare to find such a place. If you want to jazz up your time there Tavira is charming, along with Tavira Island. You do need a car if you stay at Herdade and want to visit many areas, however, we had read other reviews and knew that - but we just wanted to relax there and do nothing! We stayed 4 days and did venture out 1 afternoon to a restaurant in St Luzia. Local taxi, very nice driver. 20 euro each way (same prices to Tavira) about 15 minutes journey. The owners Joao and Francisco are cool, interesting guys, very helpful, and knowledgeable about the area , local produce, wines, and activities to do there - hiking, etc. Good massage also available in relaxing room. €50 Personally speaking, we dossed (an English word for lazing about) around the pool , helping ourselves to the well-stocked honesty bar, with the occasional beer/glass of wine, absorbed in a few good crime novels. Please note: after breakfast there is NO food available until 7pm. We knew that and brought along our own snacks, nuts etc. The evening menu is mainly cold, very good local produce - oh, please try the prawns (they hot). We tried almost everything on the menu during our stay - couldn't fault anything. My husband arrived completely knackered (another old-school word for tiredness) and after almost 4 days rooted to the place said he felt like the Six Million Dollar Man! Thank you Herdades, we will be back. Hayley & Alan UK
