About the Company: Managing a Family Legacy
As the youngest member of our family and the manager of Quinta da Fornalha, I reside here year-round with my two sons. Our commitment extends beyond hospitality; we are stewards of a legacy that spans generations. Whether assisting guests onsite or guiding them towards their ideal vacation activities, I ensure a personalized and memorable experience.
About the Accommodation: A Historic Organic Haven
Quinta da Fornalha, originally a Roman settlement dating back to the 18th century, underwent a transformative journey to achieve certified organic status in 1990, under my father's visionary leadership. Today, it stands as a testament to sustainable living and artistic expression. Our accommodations consist of 11 meticulously crafted houses, each blending traditional stone and lime construction with modern comforts. Guests enjoy fully equipped kitchens, cozy beds, private bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, and serene private patios overlooking our lush gardens.
Gateway to Natural Beauty: Activities and Tranquility
Nestled amidst the pristine landscapes of Castro Marim, Quinta da Fornalha offers a gateway to a rich tapestry of experiences. Guests can immerse themselves in nature through activities such as birdwatching in the nearby Nature Reserve, exploring the ancient Roman saltpans, or visiting the historic castles of Castro Marim, Cacela Velha, and Alcoutim. For those inclined towards hands-on experiences, join us in the seasonal rituals of fruit harvesting or the delicate art of salt flower extraction. Beyond the farm's boundaries, the Algarve beckons with its expansive sandy beaches and the charming town of Ayamonte in Spain just a short drive away. At Quinta da Fornalha, sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's a way of life. Our holistic approach to farming harmonizes with the natural environment, allowing flora and fauna to flourish in symbiosis without the use of synthetic chemicals.
Farm-to-Table Dining and Relaxation
In addition to our agricultural pursuits, we take pride in offering a farm-to-table dining experience at Taberna Remexida. Managed by Maria-João, who traded city life for rural tranquility, our restaurant showcases the bounty of Quinta da Fornalha and the Algarve region. Guests can savor breakfasts and dinners crafted from fresh, organic ingredients sourced directly from our gardens. Our organic gardens are also at the disposal of our guests. Need mint for your morning tea, a strawberry for breakfast, or an eggplant for dinner? They are all here for you! For relaxation, our facilities include a refreshing pool with a solarium and a small freshwater beach nestled by the farm's serene lake. Families will find joy in our playground and the opportunity to interact with our resident ducks, chickens, turkeys, piglets, and donkeys. The convenience of a nearby train station, just 500 meters away, ensures easy exploration of the Algarve's cultural gems and coastal delights.
