Phillip and Emma (Surrey) with daughter Sara 7 years and son Rich 12 years old... One of our best holidays we have ever had. Very relaxing, comfortable and private. House and pool exceeded our expectations. Kids loved the pool.
Richard and Sue (Kent) with Laura 16 years old.....
An amazing place in heart of real Portugal. Magical evenings and al-fresco suppers on patio overlooking pool. Local nightlife is worth exploring
Bob and Eve (USA) Our friends are booking Quinta for next season. We recommended it. Serene sorroundings, fantastic local people, organic foods and wine, Also near to all sightseeing of central Portugal
Klaus and Liz (Switzerland) with baby son Fred.....
We are envious about this house and its extraordinary location. Best kept secret! Provided baby cot, very helpful housekeeper and easy access from the airport are other things worth to mention.
