Casas Quinta de Cima

Algarve

Located within a 50-hectare century-old estate, Casas da Quinta de Cima offers a serene rural retreat that embodies the authentic charm of the Algarve. Surrounded by fragrant orange groves and wildflower meadows, it is just a stroll away from the pristine beach of Cacela Velha. The boutique hotel features nine beautifully restored houses transformed into spacious suites ideal for romantic escapes or extended stays. With its harmonious blend of traditional architecture, scenic gardens, and attentive service, this tranquil haven invites guests to unwind, reconnect with nature, and embrace the simplicity of Portuguese life.

Accommodation

Originally worker’s cottages, each suite at Casas da Quinta de Cima has been thoughtfully renovated to combine modern comforts with rustic charm. Featuring a cosy living area, kitchenette, and bathroom, the suites offer a private terrace where guests can relax, read, and savour the refreshing Algarvian air.

Food & Drink

Indulge in farm-to-fork dining with meals crafted from fresh, locally grown produce. Enjoy organic eggs, freshly squeezed orange juice, local cheeses, homemade jams, and artisan breads.

For those seeking adventure, the estate offers mountain biking, golf, water sports, and thrilling jeep tours.

Sustainability

The estate prides itself on sustainability, growing fresh produce directly for guests. From homemade jams and preserves made from the estate’s fruit trees to locally baked bread and seasonal vegetables, every meal reflects the property's commitment to environmental responsibility.

Why we recommend Casas Quinta de Cima

Quinta de Cima is a real hidden gem in a lesser-known corner of Portugal's Algarve. Enjoy alfresco breakfasts in the garden, laps in the sleek swimming pool and the freshest seafood on your doorstep. A short walk through groves of avocados, oranges and lemons and you'll find the beautiful white sand beaches of Cacela Velha - you'll quickly see why it's known as the Maldives of Portugal.
