It was one of the most beautiful accommodations I've ever stayed in on a vacation. My husband and I were even picked up from the bus station in Cercal in the evening. We booked the Hillside Rooms and were absolutely delighted by all the thoughtful details. The breakfast was the best breakfast ever! Delicious, lovingly prepared, and varied! There was truly nothing lacking. The chef and kitchen team were outstanding! Attentive, friendly, courteous, and always available. The grounds were a dream, the pool was wonderfully relaxing, and the entire location and atmosphere, with soft background music around the pool, was perfect for unwinding. The whole team exuded a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The menu was excellent! Freshly baked cakes, bottled water, and coffee were always available. We felt completely at ease. Tasteful, stylish, and outstanding! We highly recommend it! There are also restaurants in Cercal. The accommodation staff can provide recommendations. The small town is a 15-minute walk away. We wholeheartedly recommend this 'Paradise on Earth' accommodation! If you're looking for a place of peace and relaxation, this is the perfect spot. Air conditioning is available in the Hillside room. No TV, but Wi-Fi is provided. Thanks to Cam & Vera! Hanspeter & Patrice

Once again this year, we've spent a few peaceful days in this house where the atmosphere is unbeatable, with breakfasts that you miss the rest of the year (thank you, Maria, for everything!) in the authentic rural setting of a village steeped in tradition. The staff is always attentive and ready to make your stay comfortable. Vera and Cam have created a truly unique space.

I had such a wonderful stay at Quinta Camarena. It's a really special place, peaceful, beautiful and surrounded by nature. You can tell how much love and care has gone into creating and looking after the whole property. The people there were honestly one of the best parts of my stay. Everyone was so kind, welcoming and genuinely friendly, which made me feel very comfortable from the moment I arrived. You could really feel the personal touch behind the place. I loved exploring the grounds and seeing all the plants, trees and little details around the property. The breakfast was also amazing, fresh, delicious and beautifully prepared. It's the perfect place to slow down, disconnect from everyday life and enjoy some peace and nature. I really enjoyed my time there and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Was a really wonderful stay. Everyone is so relaxed and the dinner was awesome. Very nice place to stay and calm down :)

We (my sister and me) had a fantastic stay at Quinta Camarena a few weeks ago. We were stunned by the beautiful location, in the middle of Alentejo region. The accommodation is a real gem! Cam was welcoming us when we arrived and helped us with anything we needed / wanted to know throughout the stay. Everyone working on the property is extremely friendly and welcoming. Our room was surrounded by pine trees, we loved our short morning walk to the breakfast. The property is very green and widespread. The breakfast was fantastic, with lots of regional and homemade products. Also dinner is delicious and the atmosphere in the open dinner area right next to the pool is very charming. Lots of nice beaches to explore in the surrounding area, as well as good food spots. We fully relaxed during our time here. We will surely come back, as we both find this accommodation a very special place. Many thanks to Vera, Cam and the Team. Best, Zoe & Laura

Just home from a gorgeous week at a Not So Serious Yoga retreat at Quinta Camarena. The team squeezed me in at the last minute and I am so grateful they did! The hotel is amazing. I stayed in the Hillside rooms which was beautiful and loved my hammock on the private balcony for chilling. Pool was gorgeous and a great place for the group to gather and chat. The yoga sessions with Tiana were a lovely way to start the day and I discovered that maybe I do like yoga! The food was amazing. So tasty, colourful and varied. The team produced stunning menus every day.....still thinking of a beetroot soup from one evening! And the wine....just gorgeous. Cam really showed his knowledge and support for the local producers on the tasting evening. Looking forward to enjoying my bottle of Portuguese wine now I am home! Activities were great. Fabulous hike with Finn, learnt so much about the area and it's nature. The best part was it was all so relaxed. If you wanted to relax and skip something there was no pressure. Really lived up to the Not So Serious name. Can not recommend this highly enough and can't wait for my next trip!

Our time at Quinta Camarena was absolutely wonderful! What a beautiful place. Everyone is so kind, the breakfast here is the best we had during our trip and the rooms are gorgeous. Our room was a short walk up the hill but they bring all your luggage up for you. The surrounding nature is amazing, there are great hikes around the corner and everything is so quiet and peacefull. We will definitely be back!

I went to this wonderful place as a first childless vacation after four years of kids all the time and it was spectacular! I can say that it was exactly what I was looking for, a place truly implanted in nature and tradition where one can relax in the quiet of the poolside, or take a stroll under the huge and old trees, go for a yoga class, or sip amazing natural wine listening to the wind in the trees and feeling the sun on your skin! Cam, Vera, Sandra and all the other wonderful people working at Quinta made us feel welcome, and were always flexible and laid back. The food every night was delicious for vegetarians like us. The produce on offer is truly local, and special. The tour Vera gave us of the grounds was fabulous and made us feel her love for her region and the deep effort of everyday life when one works in service to nature. Very impressive. We will be back!

I just returned from a week long yoga and hiking retreat. This facility was the perfect setting. The rooms are comfortable and well stocked with anything you will need. The grounds are beautifully kept. I especially enjoyed a walk around the property while Vera shared info about all of the plants, trees and chickens which provide food for their guests. Every part of the property is very well kept. It is obvious that Cam and Vera have created a wonderful place as a labor of love. The yoga facility is beautiful. The chef is absolutely amazing! I’ve never had a week of such healthy, delicious and beautifully presented food. I highly recommend a visit to this magical place.
