Overview
Description
QO aka Quinta das Oliveiras is located in Lagos on the Western Algarve, Portugal. Regarded as one of the finest Quintas within the region the property could be best described as an eclectic mix of Portuguese elegance and ‘old school’ glam. Nestled in the hills of Calicas, overlooking the historical city centre and the Atlantic Ocean, QO offers the perfect secret escape for those that just want to kick back, relax and enjoy…Approached via a 300m tree lined gated driveway, upon arrival you are met by QO’s imposing yet classical lines. Designed by Mario Martins, one of Portugal’s most highly revered architects, the property embraces many original and traditional Portuguese features, whilst retaining a feel for modern living. The stunning 2.5 acre tropical gardens which circle QO are mature, well manicured and rather magical. Within the grounds sits a tennis and pickleball court court and four hole putting green. The main terrace space includes a large swimming pool, pool side bar with BBQ, pool table and table tennis table. There is also an enclosed play area for children with trampoline, play house and fairy garden.
On entering the property you are met with a grand staircase, patina designed wall and a swinging chandelier. The interior offers a sense of colour and playfulness which is further supported by the vibrant contemporary artwork throughout. QO is in itself a character that offers both a sense of uniqueness and a lifetime full of wonderful holiday memories.
The property provides complete privacy whilst being only 3 minutes from the golden sands of Meia Praia/Lagos City Centre - and only 45 minutes from Faro Airport.

Fantastic stay at a beautiful property
By Kevin P on 27-Aug-2024We loved our stay at QO. The house and grounds were beautiful and a perfect get away. The property is a short drive to the town and close to the restaurants, beaches and excursions. Would highly recommend a stay!
Five stars!

Wonderful Week of Birthday Celebrations
By Ellie Davison on 29-Jun-2024I would highly recommend booking a stay at the QO villa. Everything was just as advertised and TJ was very easy to organise things with. The yacht charter and caterers that TJ recommended were also great. Our yacht charter with Marina Boat Charters was definitely a highlight of the trip. We also loved the cinema room - this quiet oasis meant that I was able to escape from the heat when it got a little too toasty outside. We also had fun playing tennis (badly) and the putting green. All of the rooms were very clean, nicely decorated and we had plenty of space to spread out as a group of 7 adults. The location was good - very private, yet a 25 minute easy walk to the beach and local bars / restaurants. I have already suggested this property to a friend who is organising a 50th birthday next summer!
Absolutely stunning villa!
By Kristina on 26-Jun-2024Even prettier than pictures. Everyone loved this place. Would def rent again
QO is an amazing Villa to rent!
By Jodi on 09-Jun-2024If you are looking at this property and it’s available, book it, you will not be disappointed! TJ the owner is such a delight to deal with. He responds to questions and emails very quickly. He meets you on arrival to do a tour of the villa. QO is in a great location, we used Ubers during our stay and the ride into Lagos town, under 10 minutes and to the large Pingo Doce supermarket and the lovely sandy beach with the board walk 5 mins drive away. QO is very tastefully furnished and all top quality, it has plenty of everything you’ve ever wanted. A welcome pack was left for us and honestly we didn’t need to shop for a few days! We were a family of 14 to include, grandparents, parents, children and a baby and the villa had more than enough space. Outdoor space is fabulous too, it has a bar, BBQ, fridges, freezers, huge dining area, grassed area, sofa area, 2 other seating areas, 4 hole chip and putt, tennis court, pool table, table tennis and of course the swimming pool with plenty of sun loungers. Can’t thank TJ enough for letting us rent his beautiful villa, our family made very special memories here - we wished we stayed longer!
