About Quinta Pedra | Authentic and atmospherically furnished villa surrounded by greenery

Quinta Pedra is a charming and characterful holiday villa, located between Silves and Messines at the foot of the Cuckoo’s Rock. The house has been architecturally renovated, combining authentic Portuguese style with contemporary luxury and comfort. Set on more than 8,000 square metres of private land, it is surrounded by a tropical garden and an orchard with fruit and olive trees. Complete privacy is fully guaranteed. The villa accommodates up to twelve to fourteen guests and features a private swimming pool.

The villa is fully equipped to provide a comfortable stay. Inside, there is a cosy living room with a fireplace, a large dining table, and a comfortable seating area. The house offers free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, a DVD and CD player.
The kitchen is fitted with modern appliances, cookware, tableware, and glassware. Outside, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen is available with hot and cold water, a barbecue, double fridge, and additional cooking utensils. The sleeping arrangements are varied and suitable for different groups: one double bedroom with a fireplace and private bathroom, another double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a four-person bedroom with bunk beds and a mezzanine (double bed) with its own bathroom, and two double bedrooms with a shared bathroom in the adjacent apartment. Two portable baby cots are also provided. Outdoors, guests can enjoy multiple terraces with comfortable seating areas, sun loungers by the 40-square-metre pool, an outdoor shower, a patio with lounge area, a large terrace with dining table, a veranda with large floor cushion and seating, and a children’s playground with grass and play equipment.

The surroundings of Quinta Pedra are characterised by green hills and expansive orange groves. The historic town of Silves, once the Moorish capital of the Algarve, is just a short drive away. The beautifully illuminated castle that rises above the whitewashed town is a lasting reminder of that era. Silves offers a lively townscape with shops, restaurants, and bars. Also nearby is the typically Portuguese village of Messines, with an authentic centre, sunny terraces, and welcoming cafés. The renowned beaches of the Algarve are just fifteen kilometres from the villa. Guests can choose between the lively beach of Portimão with its trendy Aqua Beach Club, or one of the many quieter beaches in the region. Faro Airport is located fifty kilometres from the property.


The peaceful, rural atmosphere of Quinta Pedra is one of its most attractive features. There are beautiful walking routes in the immediate area, and mountain bikers will also feel right at home. The villa serves as a perfect base for exploring the region or for enjoying activities such as golf, tennis, horse riding, sailing, and jet skiing.

Lovely villa. We stayed as a party of 9, it has everything you need should it be a short or long stay. Our host was excellent and very helpful with the information given and the questions we asked. Beautifully presented in an idilic location. A quiet private retreat.

Spacious house

Lovely spacious house, nice pool, handy that there is a separate kind of house if you are with several families, some stairs but certainly safe for young children, in the evenings have a drink in the garden or in the veranda, it is a house with many relax and lounge areas, excellent service from the hostess, everything has been thought of.

In a word fantastic! We were there with 6 adults and 4 children. Everyone loved the house and everything about it. Lovely house with all the trimmings and the pool was great. Our arrival and departure went very smoothly and pleasantly, thanks to hostess Marrion. The whole party said unanimously that they would like to go here again. Too bad it's over.

Sehr zu empfehlen!

Hallo! Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in der Villa Quinta Pedra. Der Garten ist wirklich herrlich, die Villa liegt sehr ruhig mitten im Hügelleand von Silves. Es fehlen ein paar Kleinigkeiten, wie Fön, mobiler Sonnenschirm und in der Küche Auflauf-und Backform. Die Betreuung durch Marrion war SUPER, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch die Putzfrau Anna war sehr freundlich und zuverlässig. Großes Lob!!! Also sehr zu empfehlen!

Great stay

We had a fantastic holiday in the Algarve and that was partly due to the beautiful villa Quinta Pedra. We are my husband and I, our 2 children with their partners and our 2 grandchildren aged 3 and 1. The reception was most cordial. There was a generous food package available for basic necessities. We did not miss anything, absolutely nothing. The well-equipped kitchen met everything. We all love to cook and we also love good food. Well we did there. We also made good use of the outdoor kitchen. And then enjoy everything at the long table under the olive trees with a beautiful view. You don't want to leave The little ones also had a great time. The pool was very popular. Nice that it could be closed. The water was still a bit cold in April, but that didn't spoil the fun. Everything looked very neat and well maintained. The mail contact with the representative of Portugalvillas was also very pleasant. If you had any questions, you got an answer right away. All in all it was a great stay and we will definitely book again for next year.

Highly recommended!

A truly lovely house, which feels very personal. In addition to excellent bedrooms and special bathrooms, the swimming pool with all the sun loungers, the huge outdoor table under the olive trees, the very well-equipped kitchen and all the different outdoor seating areas with and without shade were the highlights for us. We also found the very extensive starter package up to and including first drinks, fruit, bread, coffee, etc. particularly sympathetic! We (7 adults and two children of one and a half years old) have enjoyed 1000%. There were some minor comments afterwards that were listened to by our friendly contact person Marrion. In the house and garden there are many stairs/steps, but the one and a half year old quickly learned to deal with them. If you don't want your baby/child in the room as parents, you have to be creative. As far as we are concerned, the house is highly recommended!

So highly recommended!

Quinta Pedra is in one word: great! A beautiful location, ideally situated for the highways to Lisbon and the coast. Very quiet location, only local traffic passing by. Lots of outdoor space. Nice unobstructed view. Beautiful Silves is a 10-minute drive away. House is nicely decorated, very tasteful bathrooms. The kitchen is equipped in such a way that you can easily put a great 3-course dinner on the table. Sufficient kitchenware is available. We were there in winter and even then the house is a must. Heated by underfloor heating in the bathrooms and a fireplace in the living room. For us this was enough. We were received wonderfully by the Dutch owner of the house including a lot of delicious refreshments. So highly recommended!
