Herdade dos Salgados do Fialho

Comfortable apartment in the midst of a plain full of storks flamingos and other birds. Perfect for morning and evening walks with our dog. Very near the beautiful towns of Faro and Olhao and not too far from Tavira Made a one day trip to Sagres an a stop in Alvor and Sines

Peace and tranquility but close to everything. The children loved the dogs and horses. Pedro was extremely welcoming and attentive. Loved the free bikes and table tennis. Kids barely used their devices which was the best part! Highly recommend for anyone seeking some relaxation away from the crowds of Faro.

Nothing to dislike here.

Very peaceful location with lovely walks, cows, horses and amazing waterfowl to view. If with a car ( or happy to take a bus) easy to visit Faro and Tavira. Pedro was especially helpful and all the staff were friendly.

No dislikes, we didn’t want to leave.

This is the most gorgeous, perfectly Algarvian place ever! I want to move in! The rooms were perfect, with everything you could possibly ask for. The decor was lovely, and outside, the facades and pool were just stunning. On a working farm, it was a delight to have dogs, cows and birds all around us. I cannot fault this place at all, and we will most definitely be back! Pedro was the perfect host -- as friendly as can be! Thank you!

Not a thing.

The concept is nice, you come in the properties like this to relax and to enjoy in the nature. Also there are table tennis, darts, bicycles - not in great condition but you can use it. Also there are animals - cows and horses to enjoy with them or to ride if you want. The owner Pedro is super helpful.

In the apartment everything is quite old and not in great shape. Forget to cook anything, the whole kitchen accessories are pretty cheap and if you try you will have some issues. We spend only the nights inside but it would be nice to be more comfortable.

Loved the marsh land estuaries, the walks, farm animals and distance from town. I felt I could be in two kinds of Portugal on one trip. The smells and the vast sky scenery were a beautiful rural experience. I would recomend a car but being solo and fit I enjoyed the walk to the main road, getting the bus into Faro or getting a Bolt service. It was simply lovely and peaceful.

That I couldn't stay longer!

We had such a lovely stay here. Pedro’s hosting is second to none! He met us with the warmest of smiles, and a welcome tour of what he could show us in the dark. Throughout our stay we asked for a few things (whether my son could come and join us for a few days, extra towels for my son, how to work the washing machine, details of a takeaway that delivered to Herdade) and everything was always without issue, and quick responses! Pedro is honestly the most incredible host, but perfect as he also very much leaves you to your own devices and is not at all intrusive. He also came down to see us as we left, and this just felt so personal. We stayed in Flamingo, which is the middle apartment. The facilities are great. The kitchen is well equipped, we managed to cook every day. The bed was comfortable, and there are plenty of extra blankets and pillows in the wardrobe. Lots of hangers and drawers available for clothing. There is a dining table in the kitchen, a picnic bench in the back garden/terrace area, and a small table out the front of the apartment - so plenty of places to choose where you eat. The pool area is lovely, my son went in, but it was a bit cold for me and my partner so we just dipped our feet 😂 The weather was great at around 27 everyday! We made use of almost all of the facilities whilst here. The BBQ was great, with plenty of space. My partner cooked on there and it was delicious! Again, Pedro offered him help which was super kind. We played ping pong quite a lot, it’s a great past time and had us laughing like kids! There is a great coffee machine with pods in the communal area which is only 50 cents a go, there are also a few picnic benches, and a huge fridge freezer here (there are ice packs in this freezer which a very helpful to keep your drinks cool when you head out). Then you’ll find the bikes, there are a few different options, we chose the ones with the big comfortable seats and they were perfect!

We would recommend having a hire car as it is very much out of the way here. There is a seafood restaurant and an all you can eat Chinese within walking distance, but aside from that there isn’t a shop or supermarket. We made use of Uber which is very cheap and quick. An Uber to Faro is around €6.50 and arrives within 5 minutes, so it’s not an issue. We went to Faro twice, Olhão and Loule via Uber - also for our trip to and from the airport. Personally we like being off the beaten track, and not in the thick of the tourist areas and if that’s the case you will love it here!

Amazing location, very comfortable place, great atmosphere, everything was exactly how we wanted it to be. A strong hot shower, comfortable bed, everything we needed in the kitchen area and a lovely pool.. A bit cold for me but my partner managed to swim in it! The wildlife was amazing and the walks we did were great!

We liked it all.
