Duas Quintas - Click on photo for more photographs from Duas Quintas.
Bed and breakfast accommodation, with large pool and beautiful grounds. Ideal location to explore the Algarve.
Situated in a green and fertile orange valley, 6 kilometres outside Silves, Duas Quintas is the quintessential Algarvian country house. The property was professionally renovated in 2006 and combines a unique blend of traditional features and modern comfort.
All rooms have their own private entrance, with patio area and seating outside. There are high wooden ceilings, original stone walls, full length shutters and double glazing. Each of the large double bedrooms has been individually decorated, with double or twin beds, and easy chairs or sofas for extra comfort. All rooms are big enough to allow an additional bed if required. The en suite bathrooms are fully tiled. All have large showers and abundant hot water. There are tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryers, satellite TV and free internet access. Air conditioning is available at a daily rate. A large fridge is provided for guest use. All bedrooms are non smoking. 1 twin bedroom has been prepared with guests with limited mobility in mind, but it is not suitable for wheelchair users. There is ample parking and airport transfers can be arranged on request.
In the 15 acres of private grounds, guests can relax by the pool or explore their surroundings. Once a thriving fruit farm, Duas Quintas has over 1500 orange trees as well as plum, lemon, olive and fig trees. It is a bird lover’s paradise with storks, hoopoes, swallows and buzzards. Wildflowers abound in the springtime. Close to the house, the gardens have been developed, with areas for sitting and relaxing. A barbecue area, opposite the pool, allows you to cook your own lunch or evening meal.
One of the main features of the grounds is the 12m x 6m illuminated pool. The size and shape of it gives you the option of having a real swim or simply cooling down and relaxing. You can sunbathe on the terrace or amongst the orange trees with a much appreciated breeze usually blowing through the summer afternoons. Take a book from our guest library and stay with us for the day. The honesty bar is only a few steps away, everything you need to truly chill out!

Area:
Duas Quintas is situated 6 kilometers from the medieval town of Silves, in Central Algarve. The nearest city is Portimaõ, a 10 -12 minute drive away. It is 25 minutes to Lagos and 40 minutes to Faro. There are a number of fabulous beaches within a 15 minute drive of Duas Quintas.
Our location makes us an ideal spot for exploring the Algarve. Lots of excellent restaurants in Silves. Local restaurant, about 1.5 kilometers away serves excellent traditional food.
Once the capital of the Algarve, Silves is fascinating to explore with its famous medieval castle, its Gothic cathedral and small chapels, its cobbled streets and squares, its small shops and friendly people. There are many excellent restaurants to choose from, and numerous cafes, particularly along the riverside where visitors and locals alike come to sit and relax during the long summer evenings.
There is a fresh fruit and vegetable market every morning and on Saturdays this spills out onto the street as farmers come in from the outskirts to sell their local produce.
In summer, spectacular shows are held at Fabrica do Ingles, a former cork factory. Silves has 4 banks, 2 supermarkets and a day time emergency healthcare facility.
