Quinta da Sandade

What a lovely place! The perfect setting for a fabulous vacation. The central location gave us easy access to the highway for days we wanted to explore and a stones throw to the beach and bird preserve for the days we wanted to chill out. Watching the sunset from the patio was our evening ritual.

Our second time to the Quinta and it was just as special as the first. The property works so well for our family with everything you need and more within the villa plus the 2 pools on property are both excellent and clean. Quiet beaches even in high season are close by as are Zoo Marine and Slide and Splash for great family days out. The constant breeze make the weather ideal.

Peaceful setting

We stayed in 10A apartment, which was clean, bright & modern. The balcony area was spacious & a relaxing area with a bbq which we used several times. There are 2 pool areas which had plenty of sun beds & umbrellas. The pool was very clean. You do needs a car if you stay here, but the view across is peaceful & it is lovely at night watching the sun go down with a glass of Portuguese rose.

Klein huis maar terras maakt veel goed. Proper, behalve de bbq( verroest, is als eerste gebruik na de winter niet te gebruiken) Behulpzame eigenaars via chat en aan de telefoon. Veel te doen in de buurt. ( stadjes, zoomarine, zee, boottochten, kliffen…)Domein op zich vonden wij wat verwaarloosd. Missch wordt het wat geupdate en levendiger in het hoogseizoen.

lovely place

The setting is beautiful, with views across a valley to woodland, the villas are clean and have everything you need, a spacious balcony with a barbecue. The estate gardens are well tended, the pools are good and the onsite restaurant is great, and the horse riding perfect for young children. These villas are extremely good value for money, so don't expect luxury or for everything to be brand new, and personally I would have been prepared to pay a bit more to fund the installation of some solar-powered swimming pool heaters, but overall I think this place is a gem.

About the owners
Regular visitors with our two young sons to Quinta da Saudade, we fell in love with this unique place. Its genuine peace and tranquility, its closeness to nature and proximity to the wetlands nature reserve and beaches just a few 100 metres away were irresistible to us. So much so that when in late 2015 the opportunity came up to buy a villa here, much in need of love and attention, we jumped at it.

In May 2016 and after a lot of hard work, we were delighted to have completed the renovation, giving not only us the chance to enjoy this wonderful place, but also our rental guests, many of whom return year after year. We very much hope you enjoy staying here as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

When we bought the villa in autumn 2015, it was in desperate need of love and attention. We consciously decided to renovate every aspect of the house from the foundations up and make it light, spacious and airy with a contemporary, continental feel that complemented the villa’s traditional design. We also wanted to make the most of the stunning views, in our view, the best on the Quinta.

We gave it the name Casa Amizade* to reflect the friendly atmosphere here and the superb support offered by those who help in the smooth running of the Quinta, our conscientious maids and our hard working gardeners.

It’s always been our dream to find a place here in the sun, close to where we first met almost 40 years ago in Portimao.

We hope you like it as much as we do.

Ann-Brita and Julian

* ‘Amizade’ means ‘Friendship’ in Portuguese.
