Uma estadia fantástica, num espaço muito agradável e acolhedor!
Pros:

A Quinta é muito bonita e tem ótimas condições. O pequeno-almoço era muito bom, a zona da piscina muito agradável e há bastante espaço para passear, além de várias atividades para fazer durante a estadia.
Gostávamos de destacar a simpatia da Maria, da Vanessa e do Pedro, que foram sempre muito atenciosos connosco e estavam disponíveis para partilhar recomendações e sugestões para aproveitarmos ao máximo as nossas férias.
Levamos também a nossa cadela connosco e ela adorou a estadia tanto quanto nós!
Foram uns dias muito agradáveis e umas férias muito bem passadas. Sem dúvida, uma experiência que recomendamos!

Cons:

Não temos nada de negativo a apontar. A estadia correspondeu totalmente às nossas expectativas e tivemos uma experiência muito agradável.

Charmoso e tranquilo
Pros:

Do ambiente sossegado, de bom gosto.
O espaço exterior também é muito giro e gostamos da experiência de estar com os cavalos.

Cons:

Gostamos de tudo mas deixo como sugestão uma maior diversidade no pequeno almoço, mais escolha. O fato de ser servido por um funcionário limita os hóspedes.

Pros:

Una bellissima struttura per passare una notte o qualche giorno in piena tranquillità immerso nella natura.
Le camere sono spaziose e pulite, il giardino con la piscina curati, e la colazione di ottima qualità.

Abbiamo fatto degustazione di vino e cenato al ristorante. Vino e cibo ottimi.

Amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back
Pros:

I had an amazing stay and would absolutely recommend it, especially for solo travellers. I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout my time here, which was really important to me travelling alone.

The setting is beautiful — the pool was lovely, the rooms were really nice, and being able to walk through the vineyards was such a special part of the experience.

The absolute highlight for me was the horses. They were spectacular, and the riding experience was something I’ll remember for a very long time. Nuno, the riding instructor, was fantastic and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The staff were also amazing. Vanessa genuinely couldn’t have done more for me and made me feel so welcome and looked after throughout my stay.

Overall, I had such a wonderful stay. Beautiful surroundings, incredible horses, lovely accommodation and genuinely fantastic people. I’m so glad I came and would happily return.

Cons:

Dinners were a little inconsistent

Avaliação Positiva da Estadia
Pros:

A piscina exterior era incrível, água sempre fantástica e a zona de lazer em excelentes condições (jardim, wcs..)
O quarto tinha uma boa área e a varanda, com vista para a piscina, era brutal.
Hotel de fácil acesso e bem sinalizado até chegada ao local
Simpatia dos funcionários, comida, preço/qualidade top, no geral tudo muito bom.

Cons:

A taxa pelo patudo, sendo que não existia nenhum kit para o mesmo (nem cama, nem "comida", nem taças..o normal de um kit quando paga a taxa pelo patudo)
Mas retirando está observação, nada a apontar :)

Ruhiges kleines Landhotel
Pros:

Ruhige Lage auf dem Land mit Pool.

Cons:

Leider kaum vegane Optionen.
Insgesamt war uns das Haus zu modern und kühl von der Atmosphäre her, aber das ist eben Geschmackssache.
