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.

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!

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!

Great stay

I had a very comfortable stay. It is only a very short drive to Silves and the surroundings are beautiful. It was also a great location for touring around the Algarve. The hobbit house itself had all the basic needs, was modern and clean. I didn't make much use of the outside area because in my opinion the furniture there could use an upgrade. But overall, I enjoyed my time very much. Catia is a great, kind and very accomodating host.

Fantastic stay!

Fantastic experience! The Hobbit House is compact but extremely comfortable and functional! The hosts were very kind and hospitable, offering us a welcome basket with fresh eggs, bread and orange juice. They also shared lots of excellent suggestions for places to visit and even shared homemade sausages and regional wine with us! The surrounding farm is very quaint and we enjoyed feeding the horse and goats! An added bonus was being able to hold newly hatched chicks! The farm is minutes outside of the town centre of Silves so you get a “hidden away” experience with quick access to all the amenities of the town nearby! Truly a wonderful spot and we would definitely come again!

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!!!
