Guest Reviews

• Mariana (9/5): Fantástica experiência, acompanhada por bons vinhos! - Gostámos muito da visita à quinta e da prova, como também do pequeno almoço. Ter escadas entre o quarto e casa de banho.
• Melissa (8/5): A very different place to stay. In a good location. - Beautiful rooms in a gorgeous winery setting on the river. Easy base from which to explore. Rooms are comfortable. Renovated into old fat houses. Very classy and unusual.
• Luis (8/5): Séjour presque parfait - La beauté du lieu et la gentillesse du personnel. Le petit-déjeuner pourrait, ou devrait, être bien meilleur (par ex: avec d'excellents produits régionaux).
• Ana (9/5): Viagem a repetir - Destacamos a qualidade do serviço e do pessoal que nos acolheu na Quinta do Ameal, sempre prestáveis, educados e com um sorriso. Sempre disponíveis para ajudar e preocupados em tornar a nossa estadia mais agradável. Em particular, um grande obrigada à Rita que foi inexcedível na resposta a todas as nossas solicitações indo sempre além do que necessitávamos da sua parte. Recomendamos! Voltaremos seguramente. A sala carece de cadeiras mais cómodas para poder descansar ou desfrutar do espaço lendo um livro ou vendo a televisão.
• Márcia (10/5): -
• Catarina (9/5): - Um local mágico. Uma equipa incrível. Vamos voltar.
• Jarmain (10/5): Ticked all boxes, location, comfort, restful with a great amount of design eye candy and inspiration! - Everything about Quinta do Ameal was spot on; location - perfect for exploring northern Portugal. With river activities just a stones throw away. The Quinta itself offers perfect isolation with accommodation spread out we felt like we were the only guests staying! Well manicured gardens, magical break out points where you can read, picnic, walk, swim or just be. The accommodation and in particular design was well considered with comfort at the top of the list. Service friendly and super accommodating - we really had the best three nights stay and will definitely be back! Nothing
• Patrick (9/5): Fantastisch vakantiehuis op droomplek - Een geweldige plek, met een fantastisch huis. Met zorg ingericht en de medewerkers hebben gevoel voor hospitality. Heerlijk ontbijt, bezorgd aan de deur van ons vakantiehuis. Mooie, ruime tuin met alle privacy. Lekkere buitendouches en fijn zwembad. Vlakbij een rivier waar je ook kunt zwemmen. Niks
• Anna (9/5): Beautiful and peaceful little gem! - What a special place! So beautiful and peaceful. Our studio was beautifully furnished, very clean and we loved the little touches like the fresh flowers, walnuts and toothpaste. The bathroom is so luxurious! Lovely breakfast & delicious coffee. We liked that we could choose and change each morning’s order. The staff were wonderful - very flexible and accommodating. We enjoyed the wine tour, river kayaking and local dinner, all of which the team helped us arrange. Nothing.
• Francisco (9/5): Superb -
• Carolyn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bueri (8/5): Very good -
• Steven (10/5): It was a idillic wine country stay near the river! - The location and attention to detail. Nothing
• Rita (10/5): Felt like I was royalty. - Beautiful setting. Excellent apartments very friendly staff. We enjoyed every moment we spent there even if the weather was rather cool.
• Natalya (10/5): Hidden gem - It is an old estate perfectly renovated inside with a mix of modern equipment/furniture and the traditional pieces. The service was impeccable - we’ve heard the story of the winery, learned about the super technological production process and tasted the wines. The nature is gorgeous, we’ve done an energizing walk along Lima river, whose current sounds loud and has rapids. I would be happy to come visit this place again. Everything was perfect! One thing maybe - the road to the estate is from the old times :-) but it adds to the adventure mood of searching for a hidden gem - Quinta - in a centenary forest!
• Jena (10/5): The best! We will return in the future!!! - Beautiful, peaceful property. The grounds are lush, pool area is so peaceful and gorgeous, and our room was spacious and very well appointed. The staff (Marianna and Hugo) were very knowledgeable and accommodating to all our needs. A lovely breakfast is delivered in a picnic basket each morning to your room. You choose from a list including cheese, meat, pastries, juice/milk, fruit, yogurt, homemade cake, etc. It was yummy! One of the oldest towns in Portugal, Ponte de Lima, is less than a 15 minute drive away. We had a great time visiting this lovely, quaint, historical town. Marianna also arranged a kayaking excursion for us on the Lima River. We had a blast and ended up being the only ones on it other than our guide! The only suggestion we have is to somehow fit a small sofa in the downstairs living space so if you want to watch TV it would be more comfortable. Or, move the TV upstairs to the bedroom. We ended up camping out on the floor with cushions from the pool area so we could watch a movie in the evening. It was actually a lot of fun! LOL
• Rodrigo (9/5): Superb -
• Rui (8/5): Very good -
• Annette (9/5): Beautifully converted quinta with spacious suites in the hills - Beautifully converted quinta that was once a wine farm, extremely spacious and stylishly furnished suite, nice pool with a view and lovely people that run it. Breakfast was delivered at our doorstep everymorning, a lovely basket full of goodies. Not much, bring flipflops for the shower.
• Annemie (10/5): Vineyard in the green Minho region giving you the impression you are in Tuscany or the Provence - Relaxing romantic athmosphere, lovely view on the vineyards, luxury studio with lots of space, kitchenette with all necessary tools, big bathroom, outside shower. Since we arrived by bycicle and nearby restaurant service was closed, staff offered us to make a cold platter of delicious cheese and coldcut with their locally produced wine. No room service no housekeeping.
• Ella (10/5): Can't wait to come back! - Exceptional hospitality! Clean, comfortable room. Stunningly beautiful outdoors!
• Christian (10/5): Another World! - A wonderful hideaway a little gem! We really loved it!
• Eyal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): cozy retreat and beautiful on a blustery winter week. - beautiful setting and very comfortable rooms.
• Morena (9/5): A hidden gem if you're looking for peace and quiet surrounded by nature! - The setting is absolutely gorgeous, we were there in summer but no doubt that it has charm in all seasons (and we hope to be able to come back and see for ourselves!) It doesn't have many suites so perfect if you are looking for peace and quiet. We read some negative reviews about breakfast but to our surprise we found it of good quality and more than sufficient as you can order what you like and it is brought to your room. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back! If I have to name some minor flaws it would be that some more illumination in the kitchen area in the evening wouldn't hurt. In the next round of renovations maybe some work on extra comfort could be an idea. For example cushions for the wooden chairs on the terrace and by the pool and a better dinner table + chairs inside the suite.
