Picture your own jacuzzi on your own terrace, orange groves and hills in one direction, a sliver of sea in the other, and nobody else’s evening in earshot. That’s Alma do Campo, a small, newly built bed and breakfast in the hills above Olhão, run by a couple who keep it to just four apartments. Each apartment has its own terrace and garden, and three come with a private outdoor jacuzzi; the fourth, the “Spa Room”, has its own plunge pool instead. There’s also a shared pool for anyone who’d rather swim than soak.
Who fits
Couples after a quiet, adults-feel countryside base with genuine privacy – this is a jacuzzi-on-your-own-terrace kind of stay, not a hotel with a lobby and a bar. It suits honeymoons, anniversary trips, and anyone who wants sea and hillside views over orange groves without sharing a pool deck with twenty other guests.
Skip it if you’re travelling with children, want a restaurant on site, or need to walk anywhere. You’ll want a hire car for the short drive into Olhão and any dinner out.
Rooms and facilities
Four apartments of around 50 square metres, each with a living area, kitchenette, and en-suite bedroom. Breakfast is served every morning in the B&B’s own kitchen, where an honesty bar also runs so you can pour a drink whenever you like. Airport transfers, Ria Formosa tours, and ferry trips to Armona, Barreta, and Culatra are all easy to arrange from here, with Faro Airport around 15 minutes away and Olhão itself about 10.
Compared with
Casa Modesta if you want a similar rural-luxury feel with a restaurant attached. Solar Alvura for more rooms, a spa, and an adults-only hotel structure rather than a four-apartment B&B.
Worth it?
Yes, if a private jacuzzi and real quiet matter more than hotel facilities. It’s not the right base for a family week or a walk-everywhere trip – pair it with a hire car and treat Olhão’s markets and ferries as day trips. Compare zones in where to stay in Olhão.
Quick FAQ
Is there a restaurant?
No – breakfast is included, but dinner means driving into Olhão or Faro.
Is it suitable for children?
Not really – the scale, the private jacuzzis, and the quiet setting are aimed at couples.
