We have stayed in wonderful hotels in Portugal several times, but Villa Tranberg exceeded all our expectations. Gabriela and Håkon have created a little paradise and we can't list all the details, but we can say with certainty that the likelihood of you thinking about coming back the day you leave is immensely high. From home-baked bread, eggs from own hens and figs from the garden to freshly squeezed orange juice or homemade granola and jam - breakfast and the wonderful view from the terrace are truly marvellous. You can also take yoga classes, relax in the (really deep) swimming pool or enjoy the beautiful garden, which you share with two cute cats ;). Gabriela and Håkon's hospitality is unrivalled, as are their culinary skills. We took advantage of the opportunity to round off the evening with a three-course meal on the private terrace on the first evening and were so impressed by their cooking skills and the fresh ingredients from their own garden that we decided to stay at "Restaurant Tranberg" for the next few days instead of the planned restaurant visits. This little piece of paradise actually deserves an eleventh star, but unfortunately booking does not yet offer this.

We had to leave ;).

If you are searching for a small peace of heaven on earth, you will find it at Villa Tranberg. Beautiful suites, stunning garden and pool in a quite area! The delicious breakfast in the garden was always a highlight. The owners, Gabriela and Håkon, are making this place so special and will make you feel like home during your stay!! The maximum of guests are four persons, so you really can relax and enjoy in the garden and at the pool. We always had the pool for our own. :) You also can book private yoga lessons with Gabriela or a super delicous dinner with a stunning sunset! The location of the Villa is perfect for trips in any directions in the Algarve. We are still overwhelmed from our stay at Villa Tranberg - thank you again Gabriela and Håkon for you and creating a place like this! Really looking forward for our next stay at Villa Tranberg, Raphael & Sandra

We had the pleasure of staying at the villa Tranberg 5 days in August 24, in the heart of the Algarve, each morning begins with the freedom to choose your destination based on your mood and the weather. With Sagres just an hour away and Olhão at 46 minutes, the villa is perfectly situated, offering maximum flexibility without the hassle of long drives. This villa, stunningly beautiful, perfectly embodies tranquility and serenity. Gabriela and her husband Hakon have created a true haven, with 2 beautifully decorated suites, each with its own private outdoor space. It’s the ideal place for a restful and rejuvenating getaway, far from the crowds and impersonal hotels. The house, spacious and tastefully decorated, is surrounded by a well maintained garden, a pool large enough for swimming. It’s also the perfect spot to watch the stars or to wake up gently in the morning, ready to enjoy what became the highlight of my vacation. The breakfast is simply extraordinary and entirely homemade: fresh bread, yogurt, granola, jams, fruits from the garden, local honey, and eggs from the chicken coop, which you can have boiled, poached, or scrambled to your liking. Gabriela and Hakon have a passion for the finer things in life and are exceptional hosts, with a remarkable attention to detail. I guarantee you’ll be full until afternoon tea! The tableware is exquisite, the bed feels like a magic carpet, and even the trash can is a work of art. With covered parking, spacious suites, and a bathroom as large as a Parisian studio, this is paradise. Gabriela and Hakon are delightful, charming, and very cultured hosts who are always available when needed, while also respecting your privacy so you can fully enjoy your stay. Their little corner of paradise is also shared with two cats, some chickens, and honeybees that are eager to join you for breakfast. But don’t worry—Gabriela, a true bee whisperer, has put in place clever measures to ensure these bees leave you in peace.

having to leave this haven of peace. Gabriela and Hakon, we look forward to seeing you again! Thank you for the unforgettable memories ! we will be back! PS: I almost forgot : thank you for the Porto and wine waiting for us in our suite! Natalia and Nessim

We stayed for three nights at Villa Tranberg during our vacation in Portugal. I have to admit I’ve never felt more welcome at a hotel. They have created a wonderful oasis to relax and to really feel at home during holidays. Each day Gabriela made us the most delicious breakfast with everything you could wish for. Most of the things were homemade. The rooms are as clean as it possibly can be. Gabriela and Hakon are interested in you as a person they do everything you can wish for and give you space. This is the perfect stay and we would always come back just to stay the entire time at the villa.

On leaving Villa Tranberg, we felt like we had just visited friends for a long weekend. Gabriela helped us with recommendations in the area, her breakfast, all home made, was amazing. She brought us iced water when we were sitting around her pool in her beautifully kept gardens. Yet she knew when to give us space to relax. The rooms were perfect. Every little thing was thought of. The towels soft, the huge bed so comfortable, she made sure there were extra pillows for me as I was pregnant and needed extra. The rooms were exceptionally clean and the views were incredible. It just made the stay so easy and comfortable. Don't book in one of the soulless resorts, book here!

This is very easy, Do you want to have a beautiful villa with all the comforts in the algarve, very well communicated with main roads, close to everything, and at the same time away from the noise.? this is as close as you will get to quality time here. And of course with hosts that will make your stay much better. bread freshly baked by them...,fruit and vegetables from their garden. and a banana and nut cake, oh my god! Gabriela and Håkon it was a pleasure to meet you, you have a special place among all our trips.

absolutely nothing.

This place is simply STUNNING: it’s a villa in the middle of the countryside with a charming garden that Hakon likes to take care of, full of flowers and plants accurately chosen. The room is a suite with an awesome bedroom, bathroom and a very romantic living room where you’ll find fresh fruit just taken off the tree, Porto wine and fresh water. The balcony is also pretty and comfy if you’re coming back from the beach. The pool is adorable, we just took a while to jump in for a refreshing moment. Gabriela is so sweet and kind, available for anything you might need; she also recommended us a nice place to have dinner close to the Villa. Breakfast was just perfect, just outside on the porch, served on beautiful dishes with a nice music sound in the background. 10 isn’t enough for this cosy piece of paradise.

Gabriella and Håkon could not do enough for us! For example we arrived late in the evening and were hungry, so Håkon drove us to their favourite restaurant. There was complimentary green wine in the fridge, fresh figs from the garden in our room and port wine. They served us beautiful fresh food, including homemade bread & pizza and eggs from their chickens. Gabriella was so helpful in getting us a taxi and the two them could not have been warmer, friendlier or more generous.

Thank you for a marvellous time! We stayed in very tastefully furnished and very well equipped appartment in a beautiful house, perfectly located to explore the area and with a safe parking space. The hosts are very warm and helpful. We had great breakfast and you should not miss the fantastic dinner. We would love to stay there again.

The best expirience in Portugal that we had during our stay. The host Gabriela was amazing and made us feel like at home. The villa is situated far from busy roads so the place is extremely calm and serene. Sunrises are absolutly beatiful here.

The only downside was that we had to leave.
