We spent there 3 nights in the winter time and it was amazing. Very friendly dogs, my kids spent time with sheep's, rabbits, chickens and guinea pigs. All the time was busy:)) A bit cold and wet inside the house in the winter time, but overall everything was amazing. Amazing gardens with oranges! Very friendly host, also we had earlier check in and welcome presents.

If you love nature, animals and quiet, Quinta da Boavista is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy life at its best. Sabine is a very nice host and her proposal is very good value for money. I recommend it!

We loved our stay here. The location was ideal and the accommodations were wonderful. Sabine and her husband were welcoming hosts but left us to enjoy a quiet, relaxing respite on our Algarve vacation. Nice touches included a delicious bottle of welcoming wine and some farm fresh eggs. The rooms and bathroom were all well appointed and the beds were very confortable. Cercal is a great little town with some excellent cafes.. This was the perfect home base for discovering Porto Covo and points south. Highly recommend it. Thank you Sabine!

Hens with quiet cooing calls were an unexpected discovery, wish we'd recorded their soothing voices. Don't worry, there are NO roosters to disturb your sleep! We swung open the shutters - after we'd slept 12 full hours - sunlight streamed in and we saw sheep just beyond the cottage fence. You really feel in a different place and it's wonderful. Though daytime temperatures were really warm in mid-September, we felt a little cool inside in the late evening as we had only summer clothes (and our apartment at home is overly warm). Our hosts provided pine cones and cork wood for the heater and we kept cozy. Didn't need the heater after that as we got used to cooler evenings. It is just a few minutes' drive to a good butcher/talho and groceries. Fruit and veg at the supermarket Littoral in Cercal were past their prime, though their bread and buns were good, but there is an alternative store near the butcher. It is tiny and crammed full but has fresher produce. Park at the downtown cemetery and walk to small shops just steps away. Sabine and her family were friendly and warm people, great hosts, but you also have complete privacy plus one sunny area and one shady area to yourself. Watch the birds eating figs or pick a few apples and just relax. We could easily come back for another visit as we made it our base for touring the area by car and really enjoyed our week here. Thank you!
