Quinta de Alegria
Your home away from home
Quinta de Alegria is a family-run organic farm on a peaceful private estate set amongst 22 hectares of sweeping citrus and avocado groves. All guests are accommodated in the main villa with its beautiful gardens, swimming pool, tennis court and gym.
Alegria lies in a peaceful, rural corner of the Algarve, surrounded by 22 hectares of verdant avocado and citrus plantations. The spacious villa features a pool, a gym and a championship-sized tennis court. Its six bedrooms are all ensuite.
The villa hosts a maximum of 12 guests per retreat and seeks to recreate the comfort of a home away from home where guests are free to wander the grounds, read, play the piano or just sunbathe in between retreat activities. Upon arrival, you will be greeted and escorted to your room where you can unpack and unwind. We provide each guest with a complimentary welcome basket, plush bathrobes and luxurious bathroom amenities.
Your time with us will begin and end with the re-energising of the self. We welcome you all to join us on a journey to relax, recover and re-energise.
We offer both week-long and long weekend active retreats that are built around a daily tennis clinic, guided walks, fitness, stretching/toning and yoga classes. Guests can also enjoy excursions to Silves, an ancient Moorish town, secluded Algarve beaches and neighbouring vineyards.
We embrace a 'healthy but hearty' eating philosophy with a focus on organic, clean eating. Daily meals are created through innovative cooking with fresh local ingredients. All dietary requirements are catered for. We do not use the word 'restriction' here. The word is re'treat' after all
