Guest comments
Quinta Branca was just the most glorious place to spend a two week family holiday, set in a stunning location this property oozed character. For the adults it had everything we could have wanted on holiday, a large safe space for the children to roam in, a fantastic pool which was not full of chlorine (as most are) so there were no sore eyes or itchy skin issues, the most perfect area for outdoor eating and drinking. There is a lovely sun terrace just great for practicing yoga or escaping the family for a quiet read. The interior was comfortable and clean, with great beds!
Around the small village were numerous places to eat with some great Portuguese food on offer. All the restaurants and bars welcomed children at any time of the day and the locals couldn't have been nicer. To top it all the fantastic beaches were within 15 minute drive of the house and a great food market in the nearby town, Loule. The Bird family, Newbury
