Fazenda Nova Country House

Massive suites and a fantastic retreat hotel, we had a wonderful long weekend experience of a real getaway from the daily grind and able to relax from our stressful lives as self employed business people. The staff pampered us from start to finish and treated us more like family and were also very accommodating to our dietary needs and loved the laid back timetable you could set for your meals. The farm to fork meals approach made the food tasty and fresh as some of the produce was even from the hotel gardens. Thank you to Isabel for all the wonderful and healthy meals she cooked and Wellington who catered for our sushi night. Also the personal attention to detail and information provided by Henrique and Nuno. Also to Dipendra and Alistair and of course the cleaning staff who seemed to magically and immaculately clean up the rooms whilst we had breakfast. As a family we had rooms 2 & 3 which was attached to the reception building and had an outer door so became a private suite of 2 rooms both with large bathrooms and fantastic rainfall showers. You could tell from the high quality of bathroom fittings and bedroom furniture complete with beautiful furnishings that no expense had been spared. Each of our rooms also had a private veranda with outdoor furniture whilst the larger room also had a dressing room and sofas with coffee table. The kids loved the extra activities including snooker room, darts area, swimming pool and also enjoyed using the mountain bikes in the late evening when it became cooler. When we weren’t relaxing, we used the inexpensive Ubers to travel into Tavira, Faro and even over to the bustling marina town Vilamoura. In all our years of traveling mainly to chain hotels, we had the best ever hospitality experience in a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Thank you so much John and Jackie for creating a wonderful boutique hotel retreat that we will be looking to visit again.

What an absolute gem. Our second visit and already booked for September 2025. The attention to detail is impeccable. Peace and quiet, top marks on comfort. If you wish to be alone, there are so many secluded area for you to do so, and if your preference is to be with the others, that is also available. The staff were so attentive. The host's, John & Jakkie can’t do enough for you, their sole purpose is to exceed your expectations (And for us they have, every time.) Fazenda Nova is situated only 15 mins, by car from the beautiful costal town of Tavira. Fazenda Nova is truly one of the most peaceful holidays we have ever had.

Amazing place, great staff, beautiful classy rooms
