HOUSE
Our door is always open to welcome those who arrive with the same joy with which we would run to our grandparents arms when we were little. Our grandfather, an "old sea dog", Joaquim Modesto, known to all as "the champ", was the foundation of this project. So many memories inhabit these walls and grounds that we, the grandchildren, couldn't allow them to get lost. This is how Casa Modesta was born, combining rural tourism with a contemporary feel, manifested in nine rooms with private patios. There is also a garden with a section for organically grown vegetables and a solarium where time flows with the tides.

To the Algarve summer, with sand in it's feet, we have added the daily routines of those who make this way of life a lifestyle, from gathering clams to baking bread to the harvesting and drying of fruits. We catch a ride on a traditional boat, practice birdwatching, support the local nature reserve, and when night falls we turn our verandas into a planetarium and watch the stars. When the body requires rest we surrender ourselves to wellness rituals, taking advantage of the natural properties of local oliver, almonds, fleur de sel and algae. Some may call it culture.

Offering an outdoor pool, Casa Modesta is located in Quatrim do Sul, 6.5 km from Olhão city centre. Free WiFi access is available in this guest house.

Featuring a shower, the private bathroom also comes with free toiletries. Extras include a safety deposit box.

A healthy and fresh breakfast is served every morning. It includes seasonal fruit, muxama sea ham, organic handmade yogurt and white cheese, homemade granola, infusions from the on-site garden and other delicacies.

At Casa Modesta you will find a garden and a terrace. An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings, including cycling. The property offers free parking.

Birdwatching sessions can be booked, upon previous request and subject to confirmation from the property.

Casa Modesta is 20 km from Faro Airport.
