Quinta dos Sorrisos is a charming and restful oasis in the coastal countryside where we can mainly hear the silence and the birds. Our two typical Portuguese houses (tastefully renovated, designed and exceptionally well-equipped for carefree vacation and winter stays) stand next to a large organic garden.

The space
This apartment in our lovely farmhouse has a bedroom, a combined living and dining room with a kitchen, a bathroom, and a private veranda. The bedroom faces east and has a comfortable double bed (mattress 180 x 200 cm), plenty of wardrobe space and a mezzanine with two separate beds (mattress 80 x 200 cm). Ceiling fans, air conditioner, and underfloor heating provide our guests with year-round comfort.

Guest access
Bed linen, towels, bath towels, beach towels, hair dryer and all necessary toiletries (soap, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner) are provided. The washing machine and washing powder are in the bathroom, and you can use the dryer in the main house if needed. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils for cooking, a rich selection of spices, aromatics, and hot drinks.

PRACTICAL TIP: Pack only clothes, toiletries and personal items, buy food and drinks nearby - everything else is already waiting for you.

There is a cosy covered patio with a long dining table in front of the farmhouse, a huge and peaceful terrace with sunbeds on the roof of the main house, and a beautiful veranda in front of the main house where you can join the hosts for a drink and a chat… maybe also a slice of cake.

You will be able to choose bikes from our wide selection to get around. We also offer some sports and social activities (e.g. badminton, pétanque, cornhole, sjoelbak, board games). You can jog or take a walk around our property (2,6 ha), explore our organic garden and enjoy its fresh produce.

Additional services:
- organic eggs from our Chick Inn
- harvest from our organic garden
- homemade bread and marinated olives
- homemade cakes, syrups, juices, and jams
- dried fruits and herbs
- Figgies (house specialty)
- smoothies, cocktails, and other drinks
- breakfast and other meals
- FAO airport shuttle: 50 € per ride
- Fuseta train station shuttle: 10 € per ride

Other things to note
We have twelve lovely and playful furry friends for company: two German boxers (Tara and Yuna) and ten cats (long story), all of whom roam freely and often make us laugh. Both of our boxers are friendly and playful, but if you are afraid of dogs or allergic to cats or would like to bring your own pet, Quinta dos Sorrisos is not the right choice for you.

Our hens are laying delicious organic eggs in brown, beige, white, green and blue. They wouldn't mind if you took a peek at their Chick Inn, and we would be happy to sell you their colourful eggs for breakfast.

Explanation of taxes on your Airbnb reservation with us:
1) 6 % TVA and 2) Olhão municipal tourist tax due a) from each guest of 16 years or more; b) for the first 5 nights only; c) 2 € per person per night from April to October and 1 € from November to March.

Currently, the Airbnb system cannot yet distinguish seasonality of this tourist tax and takes it into account for each person on the reservation, including children. Therefore, if adjustment needed, we'll refund you accordingly immediately after your check-in.
