Holiday Homes in Quinta

A very special kind of accomodation! Located on top of a hill with stunning 360 degree views, a refreshing pool outside, comfy bedrooms and good working a/c. Self check in is super easy.

Location, being super clean and comfortable

Oh man, where do I even start? This little traditional house we booked through Booking.com was like a warm hug from Portugal itself – cozy, charming, and stocked with everything you could need for a perfect getaway. Tucked away in a super quiet spot, it was heaven for cycling around the countryside (pro tip: pack your bike, the trails are calling!). The open fire pit? Absolute magic for those chilly evenings! And the sleep? Chef's kiss – the beds were so comfy, we woke up feeling like new people... well, except for that one early morning courtesy of the adorable donkey across the road. His 6am "hello" serenade? Not exactly melodic, but hey, it's all part of the authentic rural charm. We named him Donkey McLoud – cutest neighbor ever! But let's talk about the real star: our host, Carina. She's not just a host; she's a superhero in disguise! She welcomed us with fresh pomegranate and a bottle of wine that set the tone for the whole trip – thoughtful and oh-so-generous. Then, she shared her secret mushroom foraging spot, which sounded like a dream... until our city-slicker selves got the car stuck in the sand. (Note to self: SUVs aren't invincible.) After hours of futile digging and laughing at our own silliness, we sheepishly texted Carina. Without missing a beat, she arranged a 4x4 rescue team to pull us out. They even offered to escort us back, but nope, we declined like overconfident fools and got stuck AGAIN just 100 meters away. Facepalm central! Carina to the rescue once more – she was ready to drive all the way from Lisbon to save us, but luckily some local friends with their own 4x4s stepped in. Her kindness turned what could have been a disaster into a hilarious story we'll tell forever. Carina, if you're reading this, you're an absolute gem – thank you for making us feel like family! We can't wait to return (maybe with our own 4x4 this time).

The accommodation was very clean and new, lovely outdoor areas too. We really enjoyed the surroundings - just a short walk to the dam (which would be great for swimming in the summer) with quite a few nature trails to explore, which wr really appreciated. Monica, the host, met us at the accommodation and was very responsive and friendly.
