Quinta da Bornacha, a small, environmentally friendly rural paradise, is managed by Eco-Montesgarb Lda.
The typical Algarve landscape and natural beauty combine with exceptional panoramic views between the sea and the mountains.
The surrounding garden, with its flowerbeds and aromatic herbs, the swimming pool, and the paths of the Quinta, with more than 3 hectares of multi-fruit orchards, are all other appealing features.
The round pool retains the same architecture as the original irrigation tank, protected around it by a wooden balustrade, and will still be able to fulfill its irrigation function if necessary.
Quinta da Bornacha is located near Cacela Velha and the Ria Formosa, not far from the Guadiana River, navigable from the Algarve mountains to the sea, and the Castro Marim salt marshes with their salt pans and migratory bird watching spots. These are extensive bodies of water with beautiful landscapes that invite visitors to memorable trips in boats powered by solar energy or sail.
The beaches of Manta Rota and Altura are about 2.5 km away, and there are also four golf courses located nearby.
The houses and porches of the Quinta, equipped with solar and thermal panels, produce surplus energy that is fed into the public electricity grid, ensuring a very pleasant indoor temperature throughout the year, as well as heating domestic hot water with excellent energy efficiency.
Quinta da Bornacha thus contributes to environmental sustainability. To highlight this ecological contribution, guests can charge their electric car batteries free of charge.
Walking or cycling through the Quinta invites observation and participation in the agricultural work, in a more or less interactive way.
