We spent four nights and fell in love with the place. Everything was provided as described. The cottage is just a few minutes drive from the marinas and old town, and was quiet and comfortable. David responded quickly when we had a question. I would definitely recommend this place.
We call this the Hobbit House. Super cute and impeccable workmanship with lots of creativity. This was a labor of love to build to such level.
The host is also as good as it gets- kind and generous. Don’t hesitate- this is the best place to stay- next to Lagos and still away from the crowds.

Wonderful!
Casinha de Quinteiro was exactly as described and as it appears in pictures. David and Flórida were brilliant hosts who gave us a fantastic welcome. The casinha was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The garden is excellent; completely private and beautifully maintained, and my husband and I enjoyed spending lazy, quiet days relaxing on the sunbeds or in the hammock. It's close enough to Lagos to enjoy meals at the many restaurants or spend time at one of the beaches, but also well connected to a main road to explore the rest of the Algarve by car if you would like. I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful and unique accommodation to anyone looking for a quiet stay in the Algarve.

Many thanks for coming and for your comment. I am very happy that you have enjoyed your stay and the surprise that I have prepared so that you will have good memories of your honeymoon. I really enjoyed meeting you and I hope you come back. Greetings, David and Flórida.
Wir fühlten uns rundum in der Unterkunft wohl. Einfache, zweckmässige Ausstattung hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Sehr sauber, nach 5 Tagen Tausch von Handtüchern und Bettwäsche. Starkbefahrene Strasse in ca. 400 Metern hörbar.
Das Haus ist liebevoll, mit viel Geschmack und sehr zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Man spürt die solide Handarbeit des Erbauers und Besitzers. David war in allen Fragen sehr freundlich und entgegenkommend. Ein schöner Ort, um den westlichen Teil der Algarve kennenzulernen. Manchmal erreichen Autogeräusche von der N 125 das Grundstück. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Charming guest house, well-equipped, with a good quality for its value, and more importantly, ideally placed to travel and discover all the west of Algarve. Special mention to David and Florida who will meety our needs whenever required but will respect your privacy otherwise. I definitely recommand.
This is one of those very special places that I really don't want to let people know about. So very close to everything and yet so secluded. The only thing I would change is the BBQ, that one is on its last legs. Next time it'll be for two weeks. Cheers.
this beautiful place is a gem. We spent wonderful days there and everything was perfect. David built this little house all by himself with so much love to the details and the casinha itself is worth staying in the beautiful Lagos area :) Thank you David! if you are lucky enough to stay here, go for it!
Der Bungalow ist eine kleine Wohlfühl - Oase. Er hat viele kleine tolle Details, sehr sauber und bietet alles was man braucht. Der Außenbereich ist abgeschirmt, sehr gepflegt und bietet sogar eine eigene kleine Terrasse für den Sonnenuntergang. Absolut empfehlenswert MfG Silke und Hagen

Vielen Dank für den Kommentar! Es war mir eine Freude, Sie zu empfangen und Sie sind immer willkommen! Bis zur nächsten Gelegenheit.
Nous avons apprécié la gentillesse et disponibilité de David, et cette location atypique est pleine de charme.
Il fait bon flâner entre la maison ronde et le jardin, et la location est bien située, pour rayonner sur le secteur, en voiture
Je recommande cette location
Alojamento ideal para a família. Muito confortável e indicada para as crianças brincarem à vontade. Tem tudo o que é necessário para uma excelente estadia.
Obrigado ao Sr. David pela disponibilidade e simpatia.
Todos os comentários que li acerca da propriedade correspondiam na perfeição. Casinha tirada de um conto de fadas, de madeira, mas muito bem construída. Tem tudo o que é necessário para uma estadia muito agradável, longe da confusão, mas ao mesmo tempo a poucos km da praia. O David é muito prestável, e fez tudo para que nos sentissemos em casa.
Everything was Perfect, Florida and David are a beautiful couple which tried to make our stay as perfect as possible. Many thanks! Kind regards Lea and Matthias
Der Vermieter David war sehr hilfsbereit und immer zur Stelle. Was wir bemängeln möchten, daß die Sitzgelegenheiten auf der Terasse sehr spärlich waren. Es gab nur eine Holzbank ohne Auflagen oder die Möglichkeit sich anzulehnen. Auch die Plastiksonnenliegen waren ohne Auflagen. Wenn man längere Zeit sitzt ist dies sehr unbequem. Ansonsten war das Haus mit allem ausgestattet.
Nous avons particulièrement apprécié notre séjour dans ce logement atypique , un peu à l’ecart de Lagos mais à quelques minutes en voiture de la ville et d’un centre commercial
Le logement possède tout le confort possible et est situé sur un jardin très bien entretenu et fleuri
Les propriétaires ont été présents et discrets , ce qui nous convenait parfaitement
A conseiller les yeux fermés
Ein großartiger Urlaub an einem wirklich besonderen Ort
Das Haus von David ist wirklich aussergewöhnlich und hat eine tolle Atmosphäre. Gerade mit kleinen Kindern ist der abgeschlossene Bereich um den schön gestalteten Garten sehr entspannend, da man nicht ständig ein Auge auf die Kleinen haben muss. Das Haus selber ist genau so schön, wie man es auf den Bildern erahnen kann. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet lebt man in einer unteren Ebene mit Küchenzeile und abgetrennten Bad und kann sich zum Sonnenuntergang aufs Bett legen und sich die Sonne ins Gesicht scheinen lassen. Das Thema Licht spielt in diesem Haus eh eine aussergewöhnliche Rolle, da die obere Etage unter dem Dach ein tolles Lichtspiel am morgen bietet ... 100% Weiterempfehlung! @David: Thank you for the great time at your house, your tips around Lagos and the interesting chats with you ... See you definetly again!
