Quinta do Meco - Beach & Nature

The place was spotless, and we were pleased to find that towels were provided for the swimming pool. It was also a nice touch to have a clothes hanger available, which is something often overlooked at other places with pools. My child had a wonderful time in the swimming pool. Additionally, there were excellent restaurants just a few meters from the house, making dining out very convenient. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything needed for basic cooking, and the staff was very friendly.

We were disappointed with the lack of decoration in the bungalow. In addition, the ceiling was uncomfortably low, which was an issue even for us, though my husband, the tallest in our group, is only 1.84m. He bumped his head twice. If you're taller than 1.90m, I would recommend choosing a different accommodation, as the bungalow isn't suited for taller individuals. The space inside the bungalow is very limited. It can technically accommodate four people for a couple of days, but any longer than that would be stressful. There isn’t enough room to have the table set up and still have space to sleep comfortably. We had to either constantly build and dismantle the table or eat outside. However, the outside table was not very clean, with spider nests under the chairs and around the area. The air conditioner was another major issue. It made so much noise that we couldn’t sleep. We reported this to the staff, and while they apologized and tried to help, they couldn’t get anyone to fix it during the weekend. They offered a portable air conditioner, but in such a small space, that wasn't a feasible solution, especially since it meant keeping the door open all night, which would let insects in. No compensation was offered although it was impossible to sleep properly. Given that we paid €240 per night, I expected more. The noisy air conditioner significantly impacted our stay, and merely apologizing wasn’t enough in my opinion. We had to keep turning it off and on throughout the night to manage the noise, which wasn’t a restful experience. The swimming pool was made from a black material that left our bodies covered in black stains. We could clean it when showering but I don’t think it should happens. The staff explained that this was due to the pool’s age. They do use a robot to help with this, but it operates while you’re swimming, which is not ideal. Lastly, the lack of consideration from other guests was frustrating.

Location, host, comfort

Beautiful spot, super clean and peaceful

Some sounds from the bedroom (fridge, garden machines, etc)

The surroundings where fabulous

The space in the living room - the sofa was not comfortable

26 degrees pool in a rainy day. My 2y old loved the fishes lake.

Where to start from…the pine trees, the flowers, the swimming pool, the turtle…the overall feeling l cannot describe in a few words. What l know for sure is that l would like to be back there as soon as possible. Rita was extremely helpful and warm.

An oasis of calm nature with a wonderful warm pool yet in the heart of the village. Warm and welcoming hosts.

Nothing. We had a great time
