About Quinta O Ninho

Welcome to Quinta o Ninho, an authentic Bed & Breakfast tucked away in the hills of the Algarve.

My name is Gerrit. I’m originally from Zoersel, Belgium, and after decades working in the Antwerp petrochemical industry and being deeply involved in the fire department, I felt it was time for some fresher air. In 2017, I found my place here on this hillside, and I’ve been hosting guests with heart and soul ever since.

Quinta o Ninho is all about simplicity, stillness, and a deep connection to nature.
What makes us unique? We’re completely off-grid, likely one of the greenest B&Bs in Portugal. Our water comes directly from the mountain, electricity is 100% solar-powered, and we are not connected to any external utilities.

With a warm, family-like atmosphere, strong Wi-Fi, and a deep sense of peace, this is a place to feel truly at home. Quietly located between the south and west coast, we offer the ideal base to explore the Algarve. From our terrace, you can enjoy a stunning panoramic view, stretching from Faro all the way to Lagos. A view you won’t forget.

Whether you’re looking to catch your breath or explore the surroundings, you’re warmly welcome here. And if you need help organizing your trip or renting a car — I’m happy to assist.

See you soon?

Gerrit
