Built in 1877, this grand “Quinta” perfectly blends historic charm with modern comfort. Currently operating as a successful boutique bed and breakfast, this property offers both a luxurious private residence and a proven business opportunity in one of the Algarve's most authentic and picturesque regions.
What is the Location Like?

Where is the Manor House Located?
Situated just minutes from the town centre, this historic manor enjoys a peaceful countryside setting surrounded by open fields and mountain views. Access to the property is through a private driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles. Beyond the wrought-iron pedestrian gate lies a lush, landscaped garden adorned with mature fruit trees, stone features, and shaded seating areas-creating a welcoming oasis of calm and greenery.
What is the Property Like?
Set on a 3,603 m2 plot with a build size of 827 m2, the “Quinta” is thoughtfully divided into two wings, making it ideal for both private use and guest accommodation. Each wing has been carefully restored to preserve original architectural details-stone walls, traditional fireplaces, and high ceilings-while integrating contemporary comforts such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and modern kitchens.
The left wing includes a reception area, guest toilet, a lounge, an equipped kitchen, and four en-suite bedrooms, each combining rustic charm with stylish functionality. Several storage areas add to the practicality of the space.
The right wing offers another fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a living area with a cosy fireplace, and three bedrooms with three bathrooms. Upstairs, a bright mezzanine level leads to two additional bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and a master suite with a private terrace overlooking the pool and gardens.
A separate multipurpose room currently serves as a laundry and workshop, while a detached studio apartment in the garden provides a self-contained living space with a living/bedroom area, kitchen, bathroom, and private terrace-ideal for guests or staff.
Outdoor Living
The exterior spaces are just as enchanting as the interiors. The 11 x 5 metre swimming pool is surrounded by terraces, gardens, and a shaded bar and lounge area with an outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining or hosting events. The grounds include a separate 1,000 m2 plot housing the borehole and gas tank, ensuring efficiency and independence.
