Another memorable & enjoyable week with Jill & Julio, blessed with fine, but at the start, windy weather. It is a real pleasure to return to the friendliness of the Quinta & share dinner around the table with the other guests. Thank you both once again. Geoff,Eileen & the Terrible Twins.

We had a great time staying at Quinta das Achadas back in March. Jill and Julio are fantastic hosts; they’re really what makes this place special. Convivial, delicious dinners, ‘name that song’ competitions, good advice on local eateries, you name it...we even managed to squeeze in some walking, despite the so-so weather. Make sure you eat at the piri-piri in... More

This was a great place to stay, although it was advertised as a B&B the apartment was so well equipped you could cook a 3 course meal in there if you wanted to.
