Quinta da Bouça d'Arques

Beautiful Quinta and gardens in a picturesque setting away from the crowds. Katrina was the perfect host and the owners clearly have a passion for their work in providing for guests and looking after such an old and distinctive house with a sympathetic restoration.

Nothing.

Everything was spot on. The place is a gem. The staff / owner were very warm and attentive. We felt very comfortable in our short 4-days stay with our 4 year old. The massage option was unexpected and a very welcome extra. Overall a comfortable charming place for families or couples with things to see and do without having to travel far.

The fountain apartment was very nice and cool, with plenty of shade, and with a nice garden in front. The daily contact with Catarina or Gabriel was very pleasant and helpful.

Can't recommend this place highly enough! Paradise!

This was the first Quinta we stayed at during our 6 week holiday throughout Portugal and was the best experience of our trip. Our room was a traditional stone cottage, very comfortable and clean. A delicious fresh breakfast was served to our door each morning at a time to suit us. The whole property was very well maintained with delightful gardens and spacious lawn areas. The swimming pool was positioned to catch the surrounding views and very comfortable sun loungers were provided. Our hosts and staff were very helpful providing information about places of interest and activities in the area during our 5 night stay. Keep up your very high standard and we will definitely recommend your place to all our friends. Lesley & Geoff J. Australia

Beautiful old house in countryside near viana do castello. already is delivered first thing in the morning ( bread, juice, fresh fruit, coffee, meats and cheeses). The pool area is lovely and the house very quaint but well maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful. My only negatives are minor such as better quality fruit juices and our house (bouganvilia) didn't have a private terrace so we had to use the shared terrace but as everyone else had their own terrace the shared one kind of became offers. One last thing, you definitely need a car to stay here.
