FIVE COTTAGES
Welcome to Quinta dos Cochichos
Your Peaceful Family Escape in the Heart of the Algarve
Discover the Real Algarve
Escape the rush of everyday life and find your perfect welcome balance of comfort, nature, and charm at Quinta dos Cochichos — a lovingly restored eco-farm retreat with five self-catering cottages in the unspoiled Eastern Algarve. Tucked away amidst orchards and rolling hills, our Quinta invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with nature — whether you visit in the warmth of summer or the quiet glow of winter.
Stay in Authentic Algarve Cottages
Step into history with our five beautifully restored farm cottages, each dating back to the early 20th century. Every house has been renovated with care, combining rustic charm with modern comfort. Families will love the space and privacy; couples will adore the tranquility; and hikers will appreciate the trails starting right at our doorstep. All cottages are self-catering, so you can enjoy a peaceful breakfast on your terrace — or perhaps a spontaneous midnight snack (we won’t judge).
A Farm Stay that Feeds the Soul
At Quinta dos Cochichos, life moves at the rhythm of nature. Our organic farm produces seasonal fruit, vegetables, and herbs — lovingly tended by Marc, our in-house green-thumb and philosopher of soil. Taste the Algarve’s freshness straight from the source, or join us for a farm-to-table tasting experience. Warning: supermarket tomatoes may never taste the same again.
Relax by Our Pool – A Hidden Oasis
Surrounded by lush gardens and overlooking the organic farm, our welcome outdoor pool is the perfect place to unwind. Float under the blue Algarve sky, watch the kids splash about, or simply sink into a lounger with a book and a local vinho branco. The only rush here is deciding between another swim or another nap.
Adventures in Nature
Whether you’re a hiker, a birdwatcher, or a professional napper, you’ll find your paradise here. The Ria Formosa Natural Park and the hiking trails of the Serra do Caldeirão are nearby, offering endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. Prefer something slower? Stroll through Olhão’s local markets, cycle through orange groves, or simply watch the sunset paint the countryside gold.
Perfect Location, Perfect Peace
Our location near Moncarapacho puts you close to both countryside calm and coastal charm. In just a short drive, you can reach the pristine beaches of Fuzeta, Armona, and Culatra, or explore picturesque towns like Tavira and São Brás de Alportel. And yes, Faro Airport is only 25 minutes away — just far enough to keep the peace, but close enough for easy escapes.
A Year-Round Destination
Quinta dos Cochichos is more than a summer getaway. The Algarve’s mild winters and golden autumns make it a wonderful year-round retreat for families, walkers, and nature lovers. Come in spring for wildflowers, in autumn for quiet beaches, or in winter for starry skies and cozy evenings by the fireplace.
Experience the Magic of the Algarve
We welcome you at Quinta dos Cochichos, every day brings simple joys — the scent of orange blossoms, the laughter of children exploring the gardens, and the serenity of country life. Whether you seek rest, adventure, or a bit of both, our little corner of paradise is ready to welcome you.
✨ Book your cottage today and discover why the best part of the Algarve isn’t on the coast — it’s right here, in the heart of nature.
