Villa
Quinta de Agriboa is a former farmhouse, built in the late 18th century, which has been beautifully and sensitively restored. The Quinta is surrounded by hectares of vineyards in a beautiful valley that catches the sun from dawn until sunset. All of the original building has been preserved with restorative stonework that perfectly matches the old walls. The year-long restoration project was filmed for a series of BBC documentaries, broadcast in spring 2009, where the programme makers commented on the 'breathtaking skill of local craftsmen'....Quinta de Agriboa is a former farmhouse, built in the late 18th century, which has been beautifully and sensitively restored.

This house is perfect for families and large groups. We ask guests to smoke outside on the deck. The villa has tiled flooring throughout and we know that glasses and crockery will break if they fall onto the floor. We respectfully ask for breakages to be replaced. The villa is about 1000 metres from the nearest neighbour so there is no issue with late night noise.

Interaction with guests: 
We have a local agent who welcomes all guests to the villa and gives them a tour of the facilities. Sergio also provides excellent travel directions for guests who are arriving at the airport. He gives all guests his mobile number and email and they can contact him at any point during the holiday. Sergio and his wife Diana, who runs a travel agency, can also help organise trips and activities or book tables in local restaurants. They can also book a local cook who will come to the villa to prepare and serve a traditional Portuguese meal. this is a highlight for many families.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Ponte de Lima, the oldest town in Portugal, takes its name from a 1000 year old Roman bridge that crosses the Lima river. Narrow cobbled streets, historic buildings and atmospheric pubs and restaurants - this is a great place to wander.In Ponte de Lima you can choose from: Che Guevara Bar (interesting, eclectic clientele, centre of Ponte de Lima), Umbrella Bar;,up the hill and next door, frequented by a younger crowd, late night dancing downstairs), Sports Bar (across the lane from Restaurante Beco das Salas, downstairs live football matches, upstairs pool and darts with locals).Ponte de Lima offers a wide variety of restaurants, from everyday meals to fine dining. Compared to the rest of Europe, they are offer exceptionally good value. People visit the traditional Beco Das Selas restaur...
Getting around
We recommend that guests hire a car but there are other ways of getting round. Local taxis provide a very good service and are excellent value. There is also a regular bus service from the end of the road leading to the villa into Ponte de Lima, the nearest town.
