Peaceful setting
We stayed in 10A apartment, which was clean, bright & modern. The balcony area was spacious & a relaxing area with a bbq which we used several times. There are 2 pool areas which had plenty of sun beds & umbrellas. The pool was very clean. You do needs a car if you stay here, but the view across is peaceful & it is lovely at night watching the sun go down with a glass of Portuguese rose.

What a lovely place! The perfect setting for a fabulous vacation. The central location gave us easy access to the highway for days we wanted to explore and a stones throw to the beach and bird preserve for the days we wanted to chill out. Watching the sunset from the patio was our evening ritual.

lovely place
The setting is beautiful, with views across a valley to woodland, the villas are clean and have everything you need, a spacious balcony with a barbecue. The estate gardens are well tended, the pools are good and the onsite restaurant is great, and the horse riding perfect for young children. These villas are extremely good value for money, so don't expect luxury or for everything to be brand new, and personally I would have been prepared to pay a bit more to fund the installation of some solar-powered swimming pool heaters, but overall I think this place is a gem.

Short break in late October
Excellent short stay (3 nights) in area of the Algarve we had not visited previously. Property was immaculate with all you could want (and comfortable beds!!), beautiful views and the complex was excellent with the 2 pools and crazy putting (which my daughter enjoyed very much). All in all highly recommended. Ian, Kim and Aimee Henlow UK

Our second time to the Quinta and it was just as special as the first. The property works so well for our family with everything you need and more within the villa plus the 2 pools on property are both excellent and clean. Quiet beaches even in high season are close by as are Zoo Marine and Slide and Splash for great family days out. The constant breeze make the weather ideal.

Beautiful villa in peaceful location
We stayed in Villa 10A for one week in July with our two children (aged 5 and 16). The villa itself is stunning and has clearly been renovated to a high standard. Everything you could possibly think of (and more) has been taken into consideration and all the little touches made it feel very special and luxurious. It felt like a ‘home from home’ as it was extremely well-equipped and comfortable. The first night we visited the restaurant on-site, which was excellent. Our favourite was Prima Pasta, about 20 mins walk away. The BBQ in the villa was great and easy to use, and you can buy good quality food from the local grocery store, so we ate at the villa a few nights enjoying the beautiful views of the country-side. The top pool is quiet and peaceful, and as we had a small child, we spent most of our time at the lower pool, which had a large swimming pool and sectioned off shallow area perfect for our 5-year-old. Right next to the lower pool is a small park with paddling pool and a pool bar that was great for drinks and lunches (salads, wraps, etc), as well as a table tennis table. There are stables on the site catering for all abilities and offering pony rides for the children, which many people highly recommended. We weren’t planning to hire a car, but we did find that everything was just a little too far for us to walk (I think the grocery store was about 25 mins walk). However, it worked out well as Julian recommended a great car hire firm that were reasonable and hassle-free, and it meant that we could explore the area more fully. There are many places in the area to visit, which are great for families. Julian and Ann-Brita were quick to respond to any queries and very helpful to provide us with any additional information and recommendations. This was one of the most enjoyable and relaxing holidays we have had and we are looking to return next year. It was such a beautiful, peaceful place and stunning villa to truly unwind. Thank you Julian and Ann-Brita!

beautifully refurbished accommodation
The accommodation was very spacious with an enormous balcony. Everything you needed plus much more (including electric juicer to squeeze the oranges we bought by the roadside). On-site restaurant was fabulous. Pools very well kept (but, be warned, don't allow inflatables in either pool - may be a problem for some and a blessing for others!) We have been self-catering for many years and this was one of the best we have stayed in.

Fantastic holiday in a super villa!
We absolutely loved our stay at Caza Amizade. Fantastic villa, well equipped, everything of very high standard. The Quinta is very quiet, overlooks beautiful countryside and is a great base to explore the central Algarve. All in all provided a great combination of a relaxing environment with enough activities for families on the Quinta and the surrounding area. Julian was very helpful providing us with lots of useful information before we went. Many thanks for a great stay!

luxury holiday accommodation!
We enjoyed a wonderful family holiday at Casa Amizade which was of a very high standard, comfortable and well equipped with everything necessary for a brilliant break in the Algarve. The villa has excellent air conditioning, modern furnishings, super comfortable beds and a lovely rain shower in the bathroom. The kitchen has all you need, and the laundry facilities downstairs appreciated for a mid stay freshen up of swimming gear etc. Indoor and outdoor dining great as breakfast and lunch lovely outdoors but dinner needed to be inside often due to the heat and sunshine on the terrace. BBQ appreciated also. Pools are lovely and always plenty of space and the grassed kids play area was also a bonus. Proximity of stables an added point of interest and we enjoyed watching the horses going out and in and our young son had a lovely pony ride as he was too young for us all to go on a trek. Unfortunately the small on site restaurant was stretched both times when we visited (perhaps at the beginning of the season?) the couple of staff struggling with only a few tables, making service very slow and the menu is limited. No kids menu as such when we were there - and on 2nd visit we were charged 14 Euro for half a sea bass fillet for our 4 year old (was the adult price which was a bit unreasonable) but the food itself was fine if old fashioned in style. There are several lovely beaches a short 5 minute drive from the villa and both Zoomarine and Splash and Slide excellent days out within easy reach. We would thoroughly recommend this holiday destination and love to come back - thanks Ann-Brita and Julian!
