Great value property in stunning location

This is a lovely set of small properties in an amazing location, ideally placed to explore the region. The pool was great and big enough to swim in (15 to 20m in length), Our house was clean and comfortable and the owners very helpful. I am very happy to recommend it.

Quinta dos Carvalhais - Julho de 2020

Local agradável e envolvente muito bonita. Casa com divisões muito pequenas sendo excepção o quarto principal. Insuportável com o calor do verão. Necessita de cortinas blackout e de ar condicionado. Piscina excelente.

Excelente estadia

Gostamos muito da casa, do sistema de aquecimento, da modernidade que a casa oferece, mesmo sendo uma quinta, louça disponível, quase nada por reclamar. O sr João foi super simpático e bastante paciente connosco, fizemos um pedido um pouco duvidoso sobre algo que queríamos fazer no pátio, ele aceitou e fui muito agradável para nós. Gostamos muito, foi um excelente Natal, pretendemos voltar para o verão.

vacances géniales

Un excellent séjour de 15 jours! la maison est très belle et bien équipée, la piscine géniale! L'environnement est superbe et d'une tranquillité absolue! Les propriétaires sont charmants, très à l'écoute et réactifs! Ils ont répondu à toutes nos demandes avec beaucoup de gentillesse! Si vous ajoutez un peu plus de vaisselle pour cuisiner, tout sera parfait! Merci encore pour ce fabuleux séjour qui nous a permis de découvrir le portugal dans d'excellentes conditions.
