Quinta da Pereira

Absolutely beautiful place. Fantastic staff. Perfect pool. Rooms were great. Breakfast was a feast. Walkable restaurants were wonderful. Motorcycle parking in the grounds. Secure.

Nothing to dislike

Given the price of the accommodation and the fact that it was a working Quinta, I expected there to be more options for breakfast. I had Bread and cheese, coffee, a small croissant with butter and jam, and a small piece of orange cake.

When I arrived i was met by a housekeeper / babysitter who didnt speak english, so if i had not had some basic portuguese we may have struggled with the check-in.The house is beautiful and so are the grounds but the areas that are described as communal do not really seem to be. When I went down to the "communal lounge" in the evening I felt like I was intruding on a family space; i.e. the lounge of the family who live there (there were 2 adults and 2 children standing around). I went back to my room. Children (either the ones that live there or some who were visiting) were very loud; screaming or crying for about 3 hours non-stop. Fortunately I had really good noise-cancelling headphones. I had booked a room with a balcony, and received confirmation of my booking that showed a photo of my room, but there was no balcony. When I asked about this I was told that I had no balcony because I´d booked a big room. But the listing on booking.com suggested I could have both. As a solo (female) traveller I really wanted to be able to sit out on the balcony so that I didn´t feel uncomfortable sitting in the communal areas outside. There were other things listed in the booking confirmation that i also didnt get (e.g bath robe, hair dryer, sofa bed, etc)I had asked for a double bed. The bed was not a real double; but two divan bases pushed together. The central line between the two was a hard ridge which meant I couldn't lay across both sides as I wanted to. The pillows were lumpy (polyester?) and the towels in the bathroom were stiff. TV was tiny. It´s fair to say that I may be hyper-critical because I have ADHD, which means I´m super-sensitive to sounds and sensations. I also don't like surprises (like, not getting a balcony). I´d told the quinta in advance that i needed a quiet place to work the next day, and they were very accommodating in letting me stay there the following day to work.

Awesome breakfast

The cleanliness, the service, the breakfast, the facilities around the pool, the view, the location.

I couldn’t find any fault

Excellent!

Nothing to improve! Everything is just perfect.

Quiet place with great view and great hospitality just next to the city
