Bed and Breakfast Portugal O Tartufo

Lonely Planet described O Tartufo as follows:

"Enthusiastic expatriates Michelle and Theo have converted this old quinta (farmhouse) into eight pleasant rooms – a creative blend of traditional Moorish with a touch of contemporary hippy. The B&B is set within a lovely garden, complete with hammocks, mosaic paths and fountains. A communal kitchen is a handy addition. It’s located in Moncarapacho, four kilometers inland from Fuzeta."

O Tartufo is a rustic Bed and Breakfast with a bit of a Moorish/Moroccan twist in southern Portugal. In the first three months of 2011 it will be renovated and totally renewed. O Tartufo focuses on these visitors that care about their surroundings and the people around them. The B&B is situated in the tranquil Algarve near Moncarapacho and the small village near the sea, Fuseta. It lies 25 kilometres from Faro Airport and the ocean is just 4 kilometres away.

Each room is designed with care and the whole house breathes a relaxed atmosphere. You will find a lot of Moorish and Moroccan details in this B&B. In the old Quinta it is nice and cool in summer due to the thick old stone walls and nice and warm in winter thanks to the wood burners. A small apartment, for maximum 3 people, is situated in the courtyard. Also in the courtyard are situated two nice two person rooms with both a private cosy living room. In the old Quinta are three two person rooms situated, two of them have a private bathroom. Then, also in the Quinta, are two one person rooms situated, both with a shared bathroom.

In the front garden are lots of small places to sit in the shadow, but for the real sun lovers we have a big roof terrace to enjoy the sun, read a book or enjoy a meal!
