Quinta Features
Here's a new video on Flickr and here' a bigger one on You Tube
, and here's another one on how the Quinta came about.
The Quinta's the home of Frank and Daniela who, along with their family, imbue it with a warmth of traditional hospitality, expertise and informal service.
The Quinta's essence is a small intimate retreat for peace and relaxation. It boasts a blend of traditional hospitality, international home-cooking cuisine and a friendly atmosphere with excellent service.
Set in a beautiful lakeside location, the
Quinta is surrounded by unspoilt countryside with a wide variety of
wildlife and rare birds in its gardens and environs.
The Quinta works hard to be as ecologically conscious as possible
promoting
a low carbon footprint and conserving the local cork oak forests, the "Montados", of southern Portugal. With this in mind it is proud to be a member of "It's a Green, Green World".
The Quinta has
eight double en-suite rooms and two Family Suites.
It has two large drawing rooms with log fires, a sauna, a vine covered terrace and various lawns within the 2 acre garden that drops down towards the water.
Wifi is free, as are the canoes, pedaloes,
a sailing dinghy and the sauna.
There is a professional chef at all times
and breakfast, lunch and dinner are available for guests. Much of the excellent home-made food is fresh from the organic garden; honey from the hives on the hillside, free-range eggs from our local chickens, bread baked daily with flour from the local mill and, of course, fish from the lake.
In the evening an informal but delicious dinner is served where the conversation is lively and entertaining, helped along by the Quinta's wine list.
There are a variety of speciality courses available, including Birdwatching and Shiatsu Massage.
The whole Quinta has stunning views over one of Europe's largest and cleanest fresh water bodies of water.
It's ideal for Families, as a retreat for Stress relief, for Honeymoon couples and Romantic Rendezvous', as a Company Incentive Destination, for small Special Interest Groups, for rental as a fully catered private villa, (with either three or ten rooms), for Hen parties or private parties in general or as a Film Location.
The Quinta provides a flexible, personalised service, and prides itself on its ability to respond to individual needs.
