Last week, we had chosen Quinta Arruba because of the excellent reviews we found on the site of trip advisor. However, with these in mind, I couldn't help wondering if we hadn't arrived at another place also called Quinta Arruba since our experience differed slightly from the ones mentioned on the site: "friendly, helpful, nice, keen to please, if you...

11 of us stayed here ranging in ages from 3 - 76! The Villa is very clean, spacious and has everything that you could think of. Jane and John were around everyday to clean the pool and take the rubbish away. They were also on hand in case we had any questions or needed any help. John also kindly helped... More

We recently stayed at this wonderful villa for 6 nights but could have easily stayed for a further 6 nights. Our hosts Jane+John made are stay very special indeed. The breakfast are fabulous with a large selection of cereals/toast/fresh fruit and not forgetting Jane's homemade muffins and banana bread. The rooms are lovely/light/clean and comfortable. The pool area is great... More

Sometimes we struggle to find a large comfortable villa to suit our large family group needs - good size bedrooms, enough bathrooms and a good size lounge - but this fitted the bill. Importantly as well it had a very nice, relaxing yet secure (good for little kids) pooled area. This is predominantly a B&B throughout the year but owners... More

What a great place to stay. Beautiful outlook, peaceful and extremely comfortable and breakfast delicious, with plenty of choice and very healthy. Jane's homemade (and mostly homegrown) jams and muffins etc. escpecially lovely. Enjoyed lots of swims in the pool, especially early morning before breakfast. Thanks to Jane and John for giving us a great base to stay at and... More

My mother, father and I loved this B&B. We stayed a week and found it the perfect location for touring the east side of the Algarve. Jane catered for all our needs, which was a mean feat considering my father is a fussy eater. Our rooms were comfortable, warm (we stayed in February) and spotlessly clean. There was a great... More

A fiendly B&B stay with Jane and John very keen to please. Spotless room and good breakfast. Nice views over the ornage orchard. Conveniently close to Tavira but well away from the hubbub. It would be nice to rent the whole house with the family or friends next time.

We stayed at the Quinta Arruba after having been at a real "horror" B&B. It was a bliss (and would have been too, even if the previous stay hadn't been so bad). We even extended our stay by a couple of days. Jane and John were wonderful - they knew when to be accomodating and helpful and when to leave... More

We booked our stay in Quinta based on other reviews from tripadvisor. It definately met our expectations: - nice & cosy - quiet & relaxing - spacey, comfortable & clean rooms Jane & John (+Chelsea) were great hosts. We felt like home. Everything at Quinta is of the highest standard and the location is nice as well - very secluded... More
