Quinta Tapada Do Gramacho

Near Silves amidst wine grapes and nature lies this lovely Quinta. Nice places to visit in the Algarve are just around the corner. Karin and Imco are very hospitable and relaxed. You can put your own sardines on the grill or cook in your own apartment with a super well-equipped kitchen. The Apartment is very nicely cared for each is decorated differently and well furnished with everything you need for a stay with them. The shared-use pool is great for cooling off after a day in the region . The grounds are beautifully maintained and cared for. There is a large communal area inside and outside. Definitely a place to come back to again.

Quinta Tapada do Gramacho was our choice after intense studies where it would suit us best to explore the Algarve. We can only express our gratefulness for the time that we spent with Karin and Imco there. As Algarve is divers it was like coming back to our oasis, have a dip in the pool, enjoy a cold drink and listen only to the bells of the sheep passing close by. The retreat presents itself in an excellent way. Everywhere is beauty and it is perfectly maintained. The rooms are big enough to feel comfortable and the lounge has a nice atmosphere during breakfast, whilst in the evenings we could sit outside and enjoy our self-made dinner or just have a chat with other guests. Imco and Karin are experts to assist you in your forward planning for daily activities or the selection of a restaurant. The resort is at the board of the river Arade and we saw plenty, but really plenty of storks flying close by. You can also count on beautiful sunsets and many stars at the sky. Sylves is a charming town some 4 km away and only the last 800 meters towards the Quinta Tapada you find an easy-going gravel road. Close by there is a winemaker where you can book a tasting whilst enjoying a beautiful look over the valley. So, check it out yourself, we will come back if Portugal appears again on our travel list.
