Vegetarian B&B
Monchique
Algarve, Portugal

Quinta Pintados is in the hamlet of Chilrao, on the Western slopes of Foia, in the Serra da Monchique (approximately 600m above sea level).  It is a typical Algarve farmhouse, renovated in 2006, now providing simple yet comfortable accommodation for guests.  Our nearest neighbours are a half a kilometre away; the road serving the quinta is very quiet and becomes a rough track 50m beyond the quinta.  We are accessible by car.

 

The nearest town is Monchique, (15km by road) which has several small supermarkets, a main post office and banks, as well as many good restaurants, cafes, craft shops, and a fish and vegetable market (open daily).  The stunning West coast and the ancient town of Aljezur is 35 minutes drive away; the historic towns of Silves and Lagos at 45 minutes.

 

The guest room, furnished in typical Algarve style, has twin beds, toilet/shower room and the original bread oven which has been retained as a feature.  It has its own entrance and has access to the adjoining dining room, where guests can make hot drinks at any time.  It has an outside seating area for sole use of the occupants, with uninterrupted views of the Serra.

 

The quinta is set in 6.5 acres of organically farmed terraces and woodland.  The managed trees are mainly lemons and oranges.  One of the terraces is set aside for camping, opposite the quinta, and near to fresh running water.
