2014: Our idea was to left everything behind and start a new life in the beautiful Algarve region. We wanted to open a B&B and enjoy a less hurried life, a life less focused on material things and more on nature and the energy that contact with people
brings us.
2015: We opened our B&B and called it Farmhouse of the Palms. The name was a translation in English of the original name in Portuguese: Monte das Palmeiras.
2019: While it was never our intention, Farmhouse of the Palms became a success story which culminated by being awarded the Publituris Trade Award for best countryside B&B in Portugal in 2019. Before we knew it, we had expanded to 9 rooms and were serving lunch and dinner besides breakfast.
It then dawned upon us that we were simply replicating our previous life: more and bigger and that we were neglecting quality time with our son, one of the reasons for moving to Portugal.
2022: The only decision we could take was to sell the Farmhouse. It wasn’t an easy decision but a necessary one and we now look back with pride and joy on those magnificent 8 seasons. The thousands of guests we had the pleasure of receiving, the countless conversations, the smiles and the exchanging of experiences.
