This is a great little property to stay in. Excellent clean space with everything you need for a short stay. The pool was excellent and my 7 year old really enjoyed it. The host explains everything very well and check in and out is very smooth and hassle free. This was our second time at this property and we would come back again.

We were lucky to find this hidden gem! The Hobbit House truly lives up to its name – small and cozy, yet with everything you need. We loved the private pool on hot days and the fire pit for BBQs and long evenings outside. The beach is just a 20-minute drive, and Silves is only 5 minutes away for groceries and more. Catia was a wonderful host and made sure nothing was missing. We enjoyed every minute – highly recommended!

We had an excellent few nights stay here. Very welcoming and easy to contact the host. Great area to stay, very quiet and the hobbit house was spotless and very well organised. We had our 6 year old who loved the splash pool and feeding the goats. We would stay here again if going to this area in Portugal. Excellent place.
The sofa bed here was so comfy.

hobbit home in the countryside

It was an incredible stay. The hosts were all so accommodating and inviting. They even gave us great recommendations close by for food. I’m grateful we were able to hang out with their goats and livestock. Definitely a highlight amongst the cozy house. HIGHLY recommend!

The house is really sweet, comfy and quiet, and though it’s a tiny house we never felt it lacked in space or anything else. The terrace and pool are wonderful and Catia is just such a great host. We only stayed for two nights but wished we would’ve booked longer!

Absolutely PERFECT!! We stayed 4 nights and explored the mountains (Altes and Monchique) and the coastal Algarve towns—EVERYTHING was an easy and quick drive. The property is just over 5min from Silves which is a great little town for shopping and meals, as well as the castle and an Aldi. 5min from town but SO tranquil. Doves cooong in the evening and all kinds of birds singing in the afternoon. I especially loved petting the goats and feeding the chickens and ducks. The hosts are SO kind and very respectful of guest privacy. They even gave us fresh eggs to cook for breakfast and enough oranges to make 2 glasses of the most delicious orange juice I’ve ever tasted! Orange trees everywhere. The hobbit house was quite comfortable and very very clean. We enjoyed a nap out on the deck by the pool in the afternoons (waiting for the restaurants to open around 7). I want to go back!!!

Lovely small holiday home with a wonderful private terrace. Almost everything was provided; we only missed a kettle and a pair of scissors. It is slightly closer to a main road than we would have preferred, but the noise was not too disturbing.All in all, highly recommended!

Small but nice. Fine for a maximum of two nights. The mattress was worn out, so we switched to the sofa bed. Apart from that, it’s nicely done and the rural surroundings are beautiful.
