Casa Modesta

Auffallend reizvolle Architektur. Sehr viele interessante Details . Alles dezent und pur. Nichts wirkt übertrieben. Es ist ruhig und fern vom Massentourismus. Das Frühstück ist enorm liebevoll gemacht. Es gibt nur 8 Zimmer. Alles wirkt sehr persönlich . Die Nähe zu den anderen Gästen ist etwas ungewöhnlich. Gute Getränke Auswahl in der Bar !

In der direkten Umgebung ist eine hübsche Sumpflandschaft und Lagunen. Leider entsprechend viele Mücken . Es fehlen gemütliche Sitzkissen auf den Gartenstühlen. Pool ist sehr kalt !

A equipa é muito prestável e cuidadosa, com uma simpatia natural que nos faz sentir em casa.

Todo está perfecto, súper cuidado. El desayuno increíble! Los dueños súper atentos

Very friendly staff and a wonderful daily breakfast spread

Sehr gutes Frühstück und ein unvergessliches Abendessen

Nix alles tiptop

Owners and staff were very friendly, and genuinely cared for our dog - she even got a bit of training from an expert dog trainer! The place is very beautiful and confortable, you have many little spots to stay private around the property, including a terrace with a wonderful view. But there are also sitting areas where you can meet and chat with others guest, with owners and staff. Overall very friendly place. Breakfast was excellent, healthy, lots of fruits, different breads and home made cake different everyday. There is a beautiful path 2 minutes from the property that follows the Ria Formosa and the salines, where you see lots of marine birds and even flamingos. They have bikes to borrow. Our room was small but had everything we needed and a rather large bathroom. Outside was a hammock and above a terrace with a beautiful view of the ria. The common areas are all very beautiful, simple but tastefully decorated and everything was clean and tidy. There was no fridge in the room but they let us keep a few things in their fridges.

Le personnel très accueillant et sympathique, tout autant que l'accueil des 2 magnifiques chiens qui aident à se sentir comme chez soi, la maison très propre et dans le style de l'endroit, l'extérieur est très cosy et l'habitation est dans un quartier très calme, idéal pour une petite cure de soleil et de repos. Le petit déjeuner remplis de fruits frais du coin, accompagnés de produits locaux et le souper du soir fait par le chef des lieux sont les petits +++ qui ont rendu notre séjour exceptionnel.

The hotel is unique, very clean, and surrounded by nature with beautiful views. I really appreciated the strong focus on natural elements, and Carlos was an excellent host. The breakfast was very good, with the only exception being the Danone yogurt.

I think the room is overpriced for what it offers. It is very small. There was barely enough space for one adult and an 8-year-old child. We had nowhere to unpack our luggage, which made the room quite inconvenient. It was also hot. The air conditioner was noisy and positioned right next to the bed, near our heads. Everything was very simple, in a typically Portuguese way—designed to make things as easy as possible for the hosts, while the guests’ comfort didn’t seem to be a priority.

Local maravilhoso, tranquilo e com staff que nos recepcionou de maneira muito gentil. Obrigado, Alexandre!

Tout, l’accueil, la gentillesse d,Alexandre, le raffinement

Breakfast was good, swimming pool as pleasant. Staff are great.

Place is dated for the price charged. Room very small, light in bathroom didn't work, found rubbish from previous tenant in rubbish basket

Das Zimmer war für 2 Koffer etwas zu klein.

Beautiful countryside, lovely converted farmhouse with pool, gardens and great views. Close to Ecovia biking & walking trail. Easy access to Olhao & Fuseta. Breakfasts amazing & traditional evening meal delicious. Very friendly, helpful staff. Bike’s available - we didn’t have car so great to be able to bike to towns. A very special place.

De service was uitmuntend! Het ontbijt en het privé diner was fantastisch, we hebben echt genoten. De locatie is ideaal, super rustig en mooi natuurgebied. Overal dichtbij met de fiets en de auto.

Beautiful design, wonderful staff, stunning.

Wunderschöne Anlage am Rande des Naturparks Formosa. Man sollte sich unbedingt die Räder ausleihen und in den nächsten Ort (Fuseta) radeln (max 15 Min). Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall! Haben wir leider zu spät entdeckt. Die Anlage ist sehr stylisch, leider zu lasten des Platzes. So ist auch das Bett nur max 1,50 m breit... Der Garten ist schön angelegt, ein Pool ist vorhanden und auch die Tachterrasse haben wir abends oft genutzt.

Da arquitectura do espaço e exteriores. Bicicletas á disposição para um passeio excepcional ao longo da ria O Alexandre foi um excelente "host"!

De locatie, het ontbijt en de vriendelijkheid.

Zeer kleine kamer, smal bed, weing opbergmogelijkheden, geen ijskast, geen tv,... Kamer is te basic voor de gehanteerde prijs.

breakfast and location

the extra bed is not so comfortable especially if the kid wants to sleep in the main bed

Gorgeous, unique property with family/cultural history, honorable sustainability practices, and a hands-on/build-your-own-adventure kind of farm/home stay, while still having amenities of a hotel. The shower alone is worth the visit!

Meal times are set/not flexible, so we were unable to enjoy the dinner or breakfast due to travel schedule.

De accomodatie was verrassend en op een prachtige locatie. Het ontbijt was heerlijk en erg uitgebreid met veel fruit.

De koffie had beter gekund.

Fantastisk overnatning i stille, rolige og arkitektoniske omgivelser. Ikke mindst nød vi adgang til lånecykler og kunne cykle langs vadehavet på fine cykelstier både til Olhao og Fuseta. Snyd ikke jer selv for middag på stedet af deres kok som er en kulinarisk oplevelse. Deres morgenmad er også en konge værdig!

Tudo excelente !

Adorei tudo!

Architectuur en interieur van het verblijf. Locatie en heel vriendelijke gastheer! Lekker en rijk ontbijt.

Kleine bedden

Extremely nice staff and very helpful and genuinely kind. Best breakfast we had in Portugal Nice quiet accommodation

Rooms a bit small

Breakfast was very nice. Facility is nice - very quiet.

Room is very small and "minamalist"

petit dej fabuleux

le toilette dans la salle de bain

Einfach Alles.

De la cameră la micul dejun și admosfera

Buchen Sie das Nachtessen. Es ist Traum. Die Unterkunft ist architektonisch sehr schön und gut gepflegt.

Amazing place ! Incredible staff !

Tudo muito bom . Sr. Alexandre um excelente profissional.

A cama de casal é pequena.

De todo, pequeno almoço excelente, as pessoas são maravilhosas a localização é prefeita.

bon accueil très belle architecture et bonne situation par rapport aux plages de la région belles balades possibles en vélos prêtés par l'hotel très bon petit déjeuner

les hébergements sont un peu petits ainsi que la piscine

Beautiful, small hotel, tastefully and meticulously designed, with a friendly staff passionate and dedicated to what they do. Breakfast was a feast, the dinner we booked was delicious, all local ingredients and traditional recipes. Would love to return soon!

Nothing.

Breakfast was lovely, very friendly staff, the attention to detail did not go unnoticed

Todo un ambiente tranquilo y selecto tal lo que íbamos buscando , todo excepcional … desayuno exquisito

Eche de menos un servicio de comida en el complejo así no obligaría al que no quiere comer fuera

Very special

Ficámos no hotel duas noites e adorámos. O Alexandre recebeu-nos com grande simpatia, mostrou-nos a propriedade, aconselhou-nos restaurantes e praias à volta. À noite preparou-nos um festim delicioso com produtos locais. O pequeno almoço também é muito bom, tudo caseiro e saboroso. Fazem o próprio pão sem glúten que é maravilhoso. O hotel é "modesto", simples e cada detalhe foi pensado com amor. Tudo é feito com muito bom gosto. Foi óptimo para descansar e recarregar energias. Voltaremos!

Me gustó absolutamente todo!! La arquitectura, la atención, el relax del del lugar y la Bibliografía !!

Le calme et la décoration

Chambre à trois un peu petite

Endroit sublime. Décoration épurée invitant à la zénitude. Petit déjeuner délicieux et jolie table. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.

Tout était parfait, seuls les enfants ont manqué (un peu) d'une télévision ;-)

It was very serene. I enjoyed walking the property & listening to the nature sounds. Lots of nice little areas to sit & the architecture was beautiful to look at. Food was great. Alexander was lovely and gave us a lot of history & tips about the town. The staff was nice. I liked being a bit out of the center of town. Being able to interact with the garden by picking herbs to make drinks was a nice treat.

There wasn't a fridge in our room (but there are in most rooms i believe), so I had little access to cold bottled water unless we paid for small bottles in the communal kitchen fridge. I wish there was a bit more space for luggage (it took over the seating area in the room) but if you unpacked in the closet you might be fine. I did run a bit hot in the room during the night, the AC takes a while to get up & running but did get cool in there - maybe the sheets could be more breathable? My older father would've liked access to a regular chair near the room (the lounging chairs are hard for him to get in & out of). I think we would have used the roof top more if there was maybe a table & more chairs on the roof, since we were a group of 4.

La amabilidad y trato del personal, los detalles y decoración del alojamiento y el desayuno buenísimo.

La habitación y cama son pequeñas, no hay mininevera en la habitación, tiene poca privacidad (terraza común con las otras habitaciones) y hay que subir las maletas por escalera. Aunque es un sitio especial, no nos pareció especialmente cómodo. Ideal para una-dos noches.

Breafast

Size of room. And mosquitos

A true architectural treat, clearly renovated with craft and attention to detail. We loved everything about our stay: the host's tour, the room, the honesty bar, the bikes available to borrow, the breakfasts, the list goes on! Highly recommend if you like interesting boutique hotels.

Really enjoyed our stay at Casa Modesta. Carlos and the staff were all lovely and made our stay feel very special. We dined there one night by the pool and very much enjoyed dinner and the breakfast each day. The authentic family touches were wonderful. We borrowed the bikes and cycled to Fuseta one day. Town of Olhao was beautiful to walk through.

Room was small and lacked in bathroom supplies eg body wash and conditioner.

Der Unterkunft ist sehr schlicht und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Sehr sauber . Das Personal sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück sehr lecker, vielfältig und gleichzeitig gesund. Das Essen findet im Schatten einer alten Pinien statt, bei der Musik der vielen Vögeln. Es lohnt sich, einmal zu Abend dort zu speisen, Candlelight Dinner mit richtig leckerem, portugiesischen Essen. Begabter Koch!

My visit started with Carlos the owner texting me to offer early check in, that was really priceless, because i already arrived and tired:) You immediatelly feel at home and cared about. Its a small place, you get to know all staff very quickely. There are honesty bar, so you can make yourself a cocktail and go next to pool enjoy your life:) Few steps and you are on Ecovia - nice walking way near the lagoon, where I met flamingos and lots of other birds I dont know names:) beautiful minimalistic but still portuguese design, done by carlos sister, architect. highly recommend

Die Anlage ist sehr interessant, das Personal sehr zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer war wirklich sehr schön, allerdings ist die Klimaanlage hinter dem Bett suboptimal und ist störend positioniert. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und aufwendig. Das angebotene Abendessen war allerdings überteuert und Getränke - anders als deklariert - nicht inbegriffen sondern wurden gesondert in Rechnung gestellt. Leider war der Pool nicht sauber, der Ablauf war sichtlich verstopft. Das Gesamtkonzept ist gut aber bei dem Preis fehlt das 'Finish' - schade...

überteuertes Abendessen und nicht sauberer Pool, Die End-Abrechnung von Getränken war leider nicht richtig und trotz Korrekturversuch immer noch nicht korrekt... wir haben es belassen und Ruhe bewahrt, denn es war ja grundsätzlich schön...Anmerk.: Ein Kühlschrank im Zimmer ist immer hilfreich...

Beautiful property and location.

At Casa Modesto, we felt truly welcome—just like part of the family. From the very beginning, we received valuable tips on where to eat, what to visit, and more. The breakfasts were amazing, and the accommodation was excellent as well. This place has heart, and you can really feel it. Want to go biking? No problem—they have bikes on-site. Prefer to relax by the pool? That’s an option too. The owners also sell regional wines, which is a great added convenience. It was our first time in Portugal, but definitely not our last time at Casa Modesto! ;)

You can dont like such architecture or familyfriendly aproach but honestly, casa modesto does not have disadvantages

Pequeno-almoço sumptuoso. O chef Alexandre desceu directamente dos céus para a Casa Modesta. Todas as manhãs, há fruta fresca e exótica, papas de aveia com um toque mágico, fruta assada no forno, pão de nozes feito pelo próprio! O sumo de laranja é do laranjal do quintal vizinho, o queijo, as compotas, os ovos mediante pedido do capricho dos hóspedes... É tudo delicioso e exposto em beleza com cerâmica e naperons, a fazer lembrar a infância de cada um. As mesas são postas ao lado da pequena piscina, entre as árvores e os cactos aéreos. O honest bar é um conceito que se ancora no princípio da honra, os quartos são modestos e cómodos, o projecto de arquitectura (PAR) é de extrema beleza e bom gosto, o minimalismo mostra-nos a importância de cada detalhe. Nota máxima para acolhimento dos anfitriões. E ainda aproveitámos as bicicletas do alojamento para passear no trilho ao longo da ria, até à Fuseta. Lugar perfeito, sem dúvida.

Gorgeous setting, incredible food, lovely hosts - a winner all round!

amazing place, hosts & breakfast.

Loved this place! Architecturally it’s beautiful and the grounds are very peaceful, my dogs were made to feel very welcome indeed and had the run of the place. I opted to have dinner which was delicious and breakfast also delicious and great choice! It’s family run and all the people who work there are very friendly and pleasant! I’m glad I found.

These are just little points otherwise the stay was amazing and I would definitely recommend and go back. The dinner was €60 and was amazing and they worked with my gluten free intolerance but I got told at booking it had drinks so I assumed wine was included. It was just water.. also they do not sell wine by the glass which would be nice but have a great selection by the bottle in their honesty bar. Also would have liked to see the fire lit in reception and bar area at night especially during these colder months. I could have heat in the room but it would have been nice in communal areas such as bar area etc as those were cold and I wanted to sit elsewhere not just room.

The architecture, interior design and breakfast.

Nothing.

l'acceuil & l'architecture & le petit dejeuner

Heel mooi gelegen villa. Het was er zalig stil en heel lekker ontbijt. Carlos en zijn team waren heel behulpzaam en gaven heel goede tips.

Tip: koffie en water op de kamer (gratis)

Excelente

Well designed, full of the story . Very nice collection of antique pieces. The balance between restoration and modern design is well considered and controlled.

Beautifully designed spaces - thoughtfully arranged.
