About the home

Quinta dos Sobreiros is a traditional Portuguese farmhouse over 200 years old. It has been extensively modernised in recent years to the comfort standards of today. Every effort has been taken to retain as many of the old features and ambiance of the original buildings. The Quinta is set in beautiful, mature semi-tropical gardens, stocked with palms, an abundance of orange, lemon and grapefruit trees, vines and flowering shrubs.

The property offers a relaxed easy access mountain holiday. The gardens and grounds are fantastic and, along with the Boulle Alley and Solar Heated Pool, are free to be used by Guests. There are great walks to be enjoyed in the area as the property is in a very tranquil setting. We supply everything, even pool towels.

We are flexible on changeover dates to allow clients to get best Air Line deals.
Wi-Fi Broadband now available for Guests usage.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The cottage can be split in half; giving a 2, 4 or 5/6 combination. You only pay for the amount you use. This makes it very cost effective and does not eat up too much of your budget. We never let to two different parties at the same time - so pool and grounds are exclusive.

The property is composed of two ajoining cottages and both have been furnished to a very high standard. There is satellite TV in both with 50 English channels, a luxury fully-fitted kitchen in each, a dining veranda, and the farmhouse laundry is also available for use.

A cot is available and there are some games for children.

There is a weekly maid service to change the linen and towels.

Further details

We never have more than six people as guests, so you have seclusion and privacy. Far away from the main tourist trails in a yet to be discovered part of Portugal. You may stay a week and not meet a tourist - see real Portugal and the traditional life still being led in the mountains

There is an information pack available about the area and its attractions along with maps. Recent reports on local eating establishments and details of local events will also be provided.

As a service to guests we are pleased to be able to offer a starter pack - this will suit late arrivals especially. Costs 40 € and provides a number of items including 2 bottles of wine, fresh bread, cheese, Palma ham, pasta, fruit, eggs and milk. There is lots more in the pack and it can be altered to suit special food needs.

Languages spoken: English and Danish.

Conditions

A deposit will be required to secure booking.
Smoking allowed, but please on the balcony or outside.
