Very nice and charming hotel, set in a beautifully converted old convent. The atmosphere is unique, though the age of the building shows in some areas. Our room was comfortable, but the bathroom, especially the bathtub, could use some renovation. The staff were super friendly, and the collection of vintage cars added a fun touch. Great spot for a short stay.

We loved it so much, we stayed another night! This Quinta is a true gem and exceeded all expectations. It felt like sleeping in a movie set, it was so beautiful. What we loved: the hospitality, the price, the host and all of the staff, the pool (with salt water), the breakfast croissants, the lovely vintage bar. Oh, and the cars! We'll definitely be back, muito obrigada!
