Quinta do Lago is a golf resort and residential estate located to the west of Faro Airport in the Algarve region of Portugal. It comprises one of the three corners of what is today known as Algarve's Golden Triangle.
History
Quinta do Lago was founded by in 1971 Polish-Brazilian property developer André Jordan (born André Franz Spitzman Jordan), three years after the end of the Salazar's rule.
The original 550 hectare site, "Quinta dos Ramalhos" (Ramalhos Estate) contained the ruins of an old farmhouse (today "Casa Velha", having been rebuilt as a restaurant in 1972) and a stone pine forest adjacent to both the Ria Formosa and the growing resort of Vale do Lobo which had been founded eight years earlier. Jordan’s company, Planal, acquired the property on the 20th December 1971. The large beach-lined estate had been previously owned by the Pinto de Magalhães family for more than 300 years. Within three years, a bridge to the beach had been built to the beach, the lake was created over the salty sands, and 27 holes of golf designed by architecht William F. Mitchell had been completed.
