Home description

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.

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.

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

As a service to guests we are pleased to be able to offer a starter pack - this will suit late arrivals especially.
