What our guests say...


Ever since we started Tipi Algarve in April 2008 our visitors have very kindly been 'singing our praises' - below are just a few genuine examples of the feedback from our guests - sincere thanks to you all, we're glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you all again soon....

" It’s everything we expected and much more! There is a lot of heart and soul here and such a nice, natural vibe. We have so enjoyed the whole experience… lovely Tipis and space for privacy and also to mingle with like-minded folk. It’s great to visit the nearby beaches and come back to a tranquil, peaceful Idaho. Eli has had an amazing time running free and playing with Sunny! We will defiantly return (probably as soon as summer!) and recommend to friends. A very special place with special people, well done for doing what you’ve done!!! The massage deserves special mention! I can honestly say, it’s the best massage I’ve ever had (and I’ve had many!) Totally intuitive, very deep work and much more than a “physical” massage…A healing and de-blocking… Advice to all, make sure you book in, you will not be disappointed!"

" Hard to believe that Tipi Algarve has only been here 4 Years! A lot of good ideas and thought have gone into making you have a comfortable stay, loved it and glad we came, we will be back to see if Ruby’s peach stone has grown. Thanks guys!

I had a wonderful stay in a really great setting, loved the bar area and the pizza night was the best! Hopefully see you again soon; Sunny and Chief are really great dogs
x Jeff
When I got here it wasn’t how I imagined, it was completely better and I loved the Pizza night, it was great and me and my Mum and Jeff booked a small Tipi but you were really kind and gave a big Tipi, I really like Sunny and Chief. I loved the swimming pool. I hope I can come again soon because I had a great time here in Tipi Algarve, it was amazing, thank you xxxx from Ruby"

" The stars are out tonight, the little stove is blazing and Frank is on the ipod, we would like to stay another week! It’s been a rainy week yet we’ve still had a very chilled time. Go for a massage! Thank you Tipi Algarve, Sunny and Chief I hope that we will be back for a sunny week x Bex & Andy"
Bex & Andy, Northeast, U.K 17th - 24th April 2011

" Well we chose to come here for a relaxing stay as our honeymoon; to focus on ourselves (of course!) and to cleanse ourselves of stresses and banish any weariness. It’s certainly done the trick. The setting, the Tipi and the Algarve are lovely.
Then there’s the fresh veg, the incredible weather and lovely beaches.
But what really makes this place so special are the warm and helpful people (and the wonderful dogs!). Thanks to Tipi Algarve for making us feel welcome, sharing their local knowledge and forging ahead with Tipi Algarve!
Many thanks, love G and K "
Gemma & Kean Harrison, Solihull, UK - July 2010

" Many thanks to the Tipi Algarve team for another wonderful stay. The children (8, 6 & 2) have had a great time – especially with Sunny and Chief. The kids are already planning their stay next summer. Thank you all again.

Rob, Rach, Amber & Gabe Barker, Exeter, UK - August 2010

" We were really lucky to be able to stay here as the team managed to squeeze us in for a few days. After staying in Lagos for a few days, Tipi Algarve was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The BBQ night was yummy and all at Tipi Algarve were so lovely and helpful. Thanks for everything. We’ll be sharing our memories here when we go home. "
Jenni & Trevor, London, UK - June 2010

The Gallianos - August 2010

" This is a truly magical place to stay. We have felt totally happy, comfortable and safe here and experienced some things that we’ll never forget. The ethos of Tipi Algarve is a pleasure to be part of and I am in admiration of the work that’s gone on in creating this special place. The flowers and plants, vegetables and herbs are not only beautiful but create the most amazing scent in the mornings – I’ve never felt so relaxed and happy to get out of bed.
Thank you for treating us so warmly and making our time here such fun. There’s nothing I could suggest to improve it here. Your beach and restaurant suggestions were spot on.
One day we hope to return to see the next evolution of the gardens in full bloom and wish you luck, success and peace for the coming years. This was a perfect place to spend our anniversary holiday. Thank you "

" What can we say? We had such a lovely, lovely time here, even though we were only here for a week, it very quickly felt natural and comfortable. You have created a very welcoming, open and safe atmosphere and space here, and we were blessed (perhaps destined!) to discover you.
Thank you for helping me and my little girl have such a special time. You have played a very big part in the creation of some unique and wonderful memories for both of us. Thanks for helping us get around and for being so adaptable. Thanks for going the extra mile. "
Tricia and Gaby - August 2010

" Our first time in a Tipi and in Portugal and we are leaving very relaxed and chilled out so thank you very much. Pizzas were delicious, the pool was fab and now we know where to come for a fantastic break!
Take care "
Kate & James, Cornwall, UK - June 2010

" We really enjoyed our stay at Tipi Algarve – lovely pool, nice bar area to have a beer in the evening. We’d definitely recommend going over to the beaches on the west coast – much quieter and more rugged and huge. We shall be telling friends about this place. "

With love, AG. "

" Thank you for such a wonderful holiday. It’s such a peaceful and idyllic setting in a beautiful area of Portugal."
Kelly and Brendon London 2009

" A really unique experience in a great location. We completely support the ethos you’re striving toward. A couple of rugs and some cushions in a `lounge` area in the big space of the Tipi would make it even more cosy, homely and relaxing. Somewhere to hang our wet swimmers and towels (inside or out) would also be a welcome addition. Don’t forget the eye masks either No more Tipi you’re on to a good thing we really loved being here and will hopefully return with friends in tow-soon! "
Tania & Kate Brixton, London (Australia) 2009
