Quinta do Chocalhinho Agroturismo & SPA

When planning our walk on the Rota Vicentina, we weren't sure the extra distance to reach Quinta Chocalhino (Cowbell Farm!) from Odemira would be worth it but it was and Teresa made sure we didn't have to walk any farther than Odemira. Our stay at this family-run agriturismo was lovely: our room was incredibly comfortable and breakfast was perfectly suited to our tastes and dietary restrictions (one of us is a gluten-free vegetarian). We didn't have much energy to explore the grounds (or try the pool) during our one-night stay but we loved that there were donkeys, geese/ducks, turkeys, dogs, and cats staying on the farm with us. We got rained on during our day's walk to Odemira and were pleasantly surprised to find a clothes rack and dehumidifier in our room for drying out our wet gear. Teresa also lit a fire in the Great Room for us and we relaxed after dinner in front of the fireplace with our books and delicious red wine from the Alentejo region. We left the next morning rejeuvenated and ready to tackle our next stage to Sao Teotonio!

Superb location. Tranquil well run and lovely hosts. Only let down by the rather cluttered and somewhat disorganised reception area. The rest was really lovely. Highly recommended.

Friendly hosts and staff. We enjoyed breakfast in common room with other guests. Felt like family. Location is excellent as a hub to visit the region. So many beaches around but a nice swimming pool back at hotel.

This is a great place to stay! The owners and staff are very caring and guest oriented. Would love to come back for a longer stay.

Teresa and Antonio are the nicest! Antonio even drove my girlfriend and I into town. We needed a late checkout as our ride wasn't coming until much later in the day. They had no problem with it. The property is absolutely beautiful. Wish we had more time there.
