You may daydream

Quinta de Odelouca has 21 pitches and is a relaxed, family-run rural campsite, in the midst of nature, surrounded by glorious views of beautiful hills of the Serra de Monchique. It is an ideal location for families with children, couples, walkers, cyclists, fisherman and photographers, and is within walking distance of the small parish of São Marcos da Serra.
Enjoy the ultimate peace in the shadows of the olive trees, the panoramic views, the birds and the wild flowers. In summer nights you will sit under a roof of billions of stars. And when you occasionally can't see them it's because of the full moon, which is rising big and pale behind the hills.

300 days of sunshine

They say about the Algarve that sun is shining 300 days a year. But of course it will be raining occasionally. Although here you can literally say: after rain there is always sunshine. Read more about the weather and the climate of the Algarve.
Almost every pitch has some shadow. There is, also in warmer months, always a light breeze that cools you down.
Because the rural character of the campsite it's not allowed to use air-conditioning. At the salt-water swimming pool is a big porch were you can stay in a pleasant way out of the sun. The nights are cool, in summertime about 18° C. (65° F.)

Silence

Quinta de Odelouca is a campsite for campers who like the silence and peace of nature. Here you don’t find entertainment, disco or other noisy things. Because of the rural character of the campsite, everyone has to be quiet from 22h30 to 7h30 in the morning. Enjoy the sounds of the night animals and the sparkling stars above you while sitting in the dark in front of your tent. Nothing gives a warm summer night a better feeling than the soothing sound of grasshoppers and crickets, the scream of the little owl, the frogs and the tawny owl with her mysterious “..oehoehoehoe..” in the distance.

Environment and footprint

Our aim is to minimize our impact on the environment. Hot water heating is by 6 solar panels. Only on cloudy days we use an extra gas heater. The house, the reception and the showers of the sanitary building have their own 12 solar panels to heat the floor. We also installed 30 solarpanels which cover more than one third of our electricity needs. We have a borehole which we filter in our own drinking water, which reduces an amazing amount of plastic disposals. All public light bulbs are low energy bulbs or led-bulbs. And of course, all our showers and taps have flow reducers. May we ask you to make your footprint as small as possible?
