Pensão Agrícola is a stunning six-bedroom boutique hotel in a genuine Algarve countryside setting.
Pensão Agrícola is a stunning six-bedroom rural boutique hotel in the Algarve that we instantly fell deeply and truly in love with.
This little-known spot nestles between the historic town of Tavira and Cacela Velha, a picturesque clifftop fishing village.
Pensão Agrícola is set in an authentic Portuguese farmhouse, impeccably restored with minimalistic rooms and vintage decor.
On the shady terrace, guests can enjoy a delicious, generous breakfast or take other light meals by the plunge pool, which is heated in the winter. Fill your lungs with the wonderful aromas that the south of Portugal has to offer – you're surrounded by the scent of almond, carob, fig, orange and olive trees.
We fell in love with Pensão Agrícola when it first opened in 2015, and it continues to be what we consider to be one of the best boutique hotels in Portugal. Trust us – you'll be in for a treat.
Awesomeness
All the small details will turn your visit into a big memory.
One of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had.
It’s the real Algarve here, and you’re within easy reach of a fishing village and deserted beaches that are its best-kept secret – plus Faro Airport is only 35km away.
Seafood lovers will enjoy the local and super fresh specialities such as oysters, razor clams and tuna.
Bear in Mind
Children cannot be accommodated at the hotel.
Suite Armazém is next to the outdoor eating area. It might not feel as private as the other suites.
The plunge pool is too small for swimming but it’s perfect for refreshing.
