This was a great place to stay, although it was advertised as a B&B the apartment was so well equipped you could cook a 3 course meal in there if you wanted to. Breakfast was great with a huge choice of cereals, freshly squeezed orange juice from the trees in the garden and egg and bacon if you wanted it.... More

Even in the rain Quinta das Achadas was beautiful with the leafy gardens starting to come to life. Everything that you could want for a relaxing holiday was provided – even cotton wool balls and a tea cosy! A very efficient wood burner kept us warm and comfortable on the still chilly early March evenings – and we didn’t even... More

This is a great little find. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Quinta in late February. Jill and Julio could not have been better hosts. From ensuring we were well stocked with logs for our cosy wood burning stove to providing fresh eggs from their chickens for breakfast and providing home cooked meals and fine wine. Julio booked our... More

We were given a fantastic welcome by Jill and Julio. The setting of Quinta das Achadas was wonderful, despite the unexpected rain.

The setting and the quinta are beautiful - a real sense of peace about the surroundings - and Jill and Julio are friendly, amiable hosts. It was a real plus to be able to have a lie-in until 10 and still be in time for breakfast and... More

A stress-free week was had at the Qunita - our first visit, but we were welcomed like friends and nothing was too much trouble. It's quiet and tucked away, but close enough for lots of fantastic sites to be accessible; and Jill and Julio are happy to make recommendations. Even though the week was a little wet there was plenty... More

Our third time, and that is a quite a weird thing, because we wouldn't normally go to the same place two years running, never mind three - but t we now feel like we are visiting friends. The Quinta is a great place to travel to with a small child - there is plenty of entertainment on site (dogs, pigs,... More
