I found that Quinta through wonderfulland.com ... we spent 2 nights there, with our two little children (< 5). We weren´t lucky with the weather, but still enjoyed it a lot! We had a warm welcome through Angelo and found a very nice, clean, well equipped apartment, with flowers, trees and nothing but calmness around!!! I would love to come... More

Since the first contact with the Quinta, through the website, I felt that it was as unique and special place. The reservation process with Joao Couto, the owner, was great. He sent me a lot of information, not only about the place, but about the trip we were making throughout Portugal. I went with my husband and my 6 month... More

This is a wonderful peaceful oasis and an excellent base for visiting Minho region. Angelo looked after us... More

Very quit and peaceful place to relax. A nice pool. Very good rooms. In five classical apartements and two contemporary kinds of decoration.

It also features a huge outdoor pool with extremely compfortable sunbeds. The rooms/cottages especially the new ones are a real design highlight - open spaces/inteligent rooms! In the evenings the place is very athmospheric lightened and... More
