Well if you decide to book a hotel near an Airport you might reasonably expect to have Aircraft flying over/near the property ..well I might understand your surprise if you are familiar with underground airports where jets approach the airport in the sub-terrain.

Quintq Alfaias is a mansion built along the Brazilian idea. The rooms were very clean, with excellent views of the ample grounds and gardens. The breakfast area was loaded with antiques and items of interest. It was a great place to stay. The owner had very good suggestions about where to go and what to see in the area. A... More

The main house is beautiful with a traditonal veranda, just meant for sitting and passing the hot portugese evenings with a glass of Port or two! The gardens are beautiful and... More

Staying at Quinta das Alfaias was a unique and wonderful experience. Teresa and João are hosts in the finest sense - you can maintain your privacy if you wish but you may miss the chance to gain wonderful new friends. You would think that after a heavy high season, they would be happy to be by themselves; instead they went... More
