Peter

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nice room and bathroom, huge comfortable bed, good balcony with wonderful views of hotel gardens and the surrounding countryside, hills and distant views of the sea. Staff were all lovely, particularly the restaurant staff, with special shout outs for lovely chatty Sophia, Pedro and Thiago. All were very efficient, attentive and professional. The clue to the location of the hotel is in it's name...Hotel Rural Quinta do Marco - it is quite isolated from any local amenities, villages or restaurants, and a car is definitely a requirement, if a visit to anywhere away from the hotel is desired. Tavira is about 15mins drive away and Olhao about 20 mins. Foodwise, breakfast was good enough - lovely freshly squeezed orange juice every day, a coffee machine providing nice options, limited cereals, some fresh fruits - sliced melon, kiwi, pineapple, orange, and grapes. No whole fruit to sneak away for later tho..! Ham, cheese, sliced tomato, and limited cooked breakfast options - no grilled tomato, b.beans or potato options. Nice bread and cakes. Dinner choices were quite limited - soup or a single starter choice, a single fish main, ditto meat, and ditto veggie option. One dessert choice, oh and a childrens menu too. We ate in the restaurant 6 times, and almost every dish was very nice. All in all, a very enjoyable holiday in a quiet location.

Lovely hotel -- nice modern and very comfortable rooms, surprisingly good dinners from the restaurant, warm staff, and beautiful countryside surrounding. We didn't get to use the pool, and the area around the sauna was a musty with very limited hours. Not really a gym as others have mentioned, just an outdoor area, but if you know all this, there is much here to enjoy!

Magnifique

Un cadre idyllique, un jus d'orange (du jardin) à tomber par terre , une balade dans la nature pour toute la famille , bref un endroit à découvrir sans aucune hésitation. Le seul bémol serait le lit King size un peu trop ferme et dur à mon goût .

Hyggeligt og stille sted

Lækkert og generelt stille sted - dog kommer der mange lokale med mange børn i weekenden som optager meget plads i b.la poolområdet, hvilket naturligt skaber lidt støj. Værelset var lækkert og rummeligt, vi var 3 i et family room og der var rigeligt plads. Morgenmaden var okay, men ikke gourmet.
