We had a fantastic time with my wife learning and making pottery from Jose and Francisco! A 11/10 experience, and would highly and very warmly recommend anyone visiting to spend the day with the pottery masters! 😄 Thank you very much Jose and Francisco, we hope to visit you again in the future!

Une superbe expérience !
Un après-midi fabuleux chez José et Francisco ! On pensait venir pour un atelier de poterie, on sait désormais qu'on y vient pour bien plus : un décor magnifique dans un jardin luxuriant agrémenté d'oeuvres de l'artiste, un instant de détente où l'on peut laisser libre cours à sa créativité au son de la musique, un moment de partage et de rire malgré 3 langues différentes parlées lors de l'atelier, et surtout pour l'immense générosité de cet artiste Algarvien.Laissez vous portez, ici tout se déroule tranquillement, "con calma", et c'est parfait !Ne soyez pas surpris, José ne s'étendra pas sur la théorie, une démonstration et vous serez en piste, le but étant que chaque personne reparte avec une oeuvre qui lui plaira : que vous soyez complètement débutant ou expérimenté, il s'adaptera pour vous aider à créer la pièce de votre choix !Pour la langue parlée : évidemment tout est plus simple si vous maîtrisez le portugais ou l'anglais, mais ne laissez pas la barrière de la langue vous arrêter : pour la poterie, les gestes parlent pour beaucoup, un sourire et de la bonne humeur feront le reste !

It was amazing stay for three nights thanks to this place. The view is amazing, we could take our time from sunset to have a peaceful atmosphere, and we could enjoy the stars in big sky at night!
The room and all amenities are clean and well prepared, it was very helpful. It's quite near by Silves, so we went to restaurant for a night, and we also bought groceries for eating in our place as well for another nights. The garden and harvest is also beautiful, surrounded by the nature. By the supports of the host, we could have a memorable time :)

Excellent hike with Marta Costa along the Algarve Coast including the 7 Hanging Valley trail. Marta was a knowledgeable, enthusiastic naturalist guide. We hiked with her for 5 hrs covering amazing views of the sink holes, cliffs, rock formations, caves and beaches.
She was helpful when I needed a hand or arm, treking up and down the rocky rugged trail. One of the 2 best days on our 2 wk Portugal trip.

Brilhante.
Tive um tempo fantástico fazendo workshop de telhas, foram realmente ajudados em todas as etapas e acabaram com 4 grandes telhas. Não houve pressão de tempo e depois um lanche delicioso, quase uma refeição. As telhas estão prontas dois dias depois. Recomendo vivamente para uma experiência única. Acho que vamos tentar fazer mais telhas uma vez em casa.

We had an amazing time with Margarida she is a wonderful instructor! My fiance and I got to pick which designs we wanted to make. Margarida then showed us each step of the process and we were making beautiful tiles in no time! It was a super fun class and she was extremely knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Afterwards we had a snack of delicious sweet oranges and fig and almond stars! We had an awesome time and would recommend this to anyone looking to experience the tile painting tradition of Portugal!

We had an amazing stay in the Algarvian Roots in Silves! Francisco was incredibly welcoming and helpful, sharing great recommendations for local music events and beautiful nature reserves in the area. The studio was cozy and well-equipped, and the view was absolutely stunning. One of the highlights of our visit was meeting Francisco’s grandmother—truly the most impressive woman we’ve ever met. She drives her off-road vehicle to the local market to sell her home-grown oranges, which are as sweet and delicious as she is inspiring.

We spent a very nice afternoon with Margarida. She was patient explaining the techniques and fixing our little mistakes. She also played Portuguese music and gave us little historical insights. All in all recommending this for some fun and relaxation.

We booked a tile painting class with Algarvian Roots and were very happy with our experience. Margareta was passionate about the craft of painting tiles in the authentic Portuguese way and demonstrated many techniques for creating two beautiful tiles. We were moat excited to receive our finished tiles just a day after they were painted, as well as several photos of our experience. Thankyou Margareta for all your guidance!
