There was nothing that needed improvement in any way!

The property is very restful and beautiful and Dirk-Jan and Karin are exceptional hosts! They advised us on nearby hikes and places to eat and shop. They really looked after our every need and were very gracious! The bed and room were spacious and beautiful and well equipped.

Karin and Dirk-Jan are very attentive and kind hosts who make sure you feel comfortable and at home. They gave us lots of great recommendations for things to do around and restaurants to go to. We can certainly recommend staying at Casa Spa d'Alma and will miss the cats and the dog.

Can’t think of anything.

Casa Spa d’Alma was a tranquil idyll situated in the Algarve hills, but within an easy half hour car drive to the south coast, a bit longer to the west coast. Breakfast was simple but fulfilling.

Nothing

Our toom was very spacious and lots of lovely touches to make our stay perfect. Breakfast was fresh with ample choice. Walking trails straight from the property into the hills. A refreshing dip in the pool and hot tub after and enjoying the birds and nature again in the beautiful gardens! We absolutely loved our stay. Thank you, Dirk-Jan & Karin. You are amazing, kind hosts, good luck for your future

Casa Spa d'Alma is a very special place. Karin and Dirk Jan are warm welcoming hosts who endeavor to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They are informative about the local area. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful with local produce, fruit from the garden and cake!! Ah the garden... beautiful, peaceful... flowers, butterflies and birdsong. Our room was immaculate and the bed very comfortable, We used the well equipped outdoor kitchen every day. There are walks/runs from the doorstep into the Monchique hills. Local facilities - shops and restaurants are a short drive away..

Nothing!

Everything- from the warm, welcoming hosts to the beautifully designed room to the exquisite gardens to the generous breakfast and finally, to the very sweet outdoor kitties and pup. The property is truly a spa for the soul- a labor of love that the new owners are continuing to care for.

Reservations are needed if you need to eat in Monchique.

Breakfast was fantastic. Manuela and Theo prepared homemade granola and fresh honey. Each day there was a different egg offering. Manuella’s home made banana or plum cake was also available. Theo gave great advice for nearby walks which were within a 10 minute drive.

This beautiful little paradise is located between the mountains. It is very quiet, calm and relaxing. The lovely garden resembles an oasis with lots of lemon-, avocado trees, colourful flowers and little waterplaces. You can just sit in one of the hamocks, watch the wonders in Manuel‘s Garden and jump in the pool for a cooldown. Manuela and Theo are such lovely people, who are so kind and warm hearted. For breakfast homemade granola, most delicious plum cakes and marmalades from the garden is served. For dinner we cooked in the coutside kitchen in the sunset. We really enjoyed our time and will definitely come back to this peaceful place and to these two super sweet hosts Manuela and Theo. Thank you for having us!

I wouldn't change a thing!

I love how the abundant garden has been added to over time - esp the frog pond. The outdoor kitchen was perfect to spend time in nature and relax. The room had fly nets on the windows, bed was very comfortable and a desk for laptop work. Breakfast was delicious and the hosts, Theo and Manuela, were incredibly welcoming and accommodating - we will 100% stay again! Truly magical!

Genuinely can’t think of anything

A beautiful B&B with an amazing garden in a stunning location. The pool, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen were great touches. Clean, large, comfortable air conditioned rooms, with big double beds. We did some lovely hiking in the area, with help identifying routes. Our stay was made all the better by the wonderful hosts, who were accommodating, kind, good humoured, very interesting people.

Casa Spa d'Alma is a little, calm paradise near Monchique where you can have a wonderful time. A huge garden with all sorts of flowers, plants and trees, an outdoor kitchen and many spots to rest and hang out. The pool and the jaccuzi are fun as well. No matter where you look - there's beauty in every corner. Tasteful spacious rooms, an amazing breakfast and last but not least: Manuela and Theo are the perfect hosts and make you feel at home. Thanks again!! If you're also into having a peaceful time full of sweet nothing - you should definitely go to Casa Spa d'Alma.

Casa Spa D'Alma was in every way exceptional. To be honest it made the holiday for me. The serenity, glorious garden overlooking the 3 hills, relaxing in the pool and hot tub - my children loved it - the hammocks, the gentle sound of splashing water, the fruit trees, gorgeous flowers, Swallowtail butterflies, 100s of migrant birds flying overhead while I was swimming, just magical. I liked that nature was welcome. Our lovely hosts made us so welcome and were super telling us about restaurants, local knowledge, walks and beaches.

Everything was good

Breakfast was good,a selection of cheese ham etc plus fresh cooked eggs. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The area is very peaceful.

They charge an extra 5euros for use of the washing machine for one quick small wash. The accommodation is already on the expensive side and we would not expect this sort of extra for one partial load. Fortunately, we didn't need the tumble dryer! Be warned that there are no restaurants within walking distance. The nearest town, Monchique, has a fair selection of places to eat, from very basic and excellent value, to smarter more pricey establishments. The best meals were had in the more basic cafe/restaurants such as O Parque and O Ze. Monchique is only a 10min drive away.

Idyllic location and potentially beautiful garden with a huge diversity in fruit trees and flowers. Rooms are small but beds are comfortable and ensuite showers are supplied with plentiful hot water. More communal space is provided in the breakfast area for comfortable seating. Plentiful outdoors tables and chairs, small pool and a hot tub. There is also an outdoor communal BBQ area, gas hob, cooking equipment and a fridge. Breakfast was a good quality nut and seed granola, yoghurts, lactose free milk was no problem, fresh fruit some from the garden supplemented with some bought fruit, various bread/buns, a boiled egg, cheap ham and cheese, jams, and a wee sweet treat such as the local egg custard tart or a piece of cake. Something for everybody. Freshly squeezed orange juice from the garden, coffee machine and an assortment of teas. Obviously, if you're a tea drinker from the UK you know you need to travel with your own tea bag for a decent cuppa tea. An amble supply of filtered water was provided for drinking and topping up refillable water bottles. The accommodation is under new ownership; they are friendly and passionate about their new venture. The garden currently needs a little more love and care, which is only a matter of time for them as they settle in. Our stay was much enjoyed and Casa Spa D'Alma is recommended for the independent traveller.
