Stayed for a weeks cycling in March, superb location for cyclists - and the slight hill on the driveway to the Quinta is a good burst at the end of the ride... we stayed in "Orange" which is a great place with really good facilities both inside and out on the terrace. We will go again!! Thank You to our wonderful hosts!! Mick and Rosa. |
