Quinta da Relva

Tucked away on a hillside far above the coastal plain, an oasis of calm and relaxation. We had the unusual experience for us of using the open fire in the evenings and relaxing in the pool come the afternoon. Well placed to get to both the south and west coasts. Not a luxury stay except in the sense of well being that crept over us the longer our stay went on. We flew in and out of Lisbon which made for a tough first night (the satnav was a boon) but also allowed us to do a good half day in Lisbon on the way home. A great holiday.

Thank you for giving us the perfect place to stay at during these 10 wonderful days. After spending a lot of time in the area, at our own place we were looking for a place that would give us the sane rustical feeling at home. The weather was perfect what a luck so we enjoyed the pool the meals in nature and the beautiful flowers ( f let Amalia know she is doing a such a great job). Thank you so much and let us know in case you want to sell this awesome spot . Best Oranges ever!

What a wonderful place! We enjoyed the Quinta da Relva totally and found exactly what we were looking for: tranquility, a beautiful garden with a pool and a very charming house . Everything was just perfect. And how great to wake up to the singing of the birds! Thank you Diana to make this possible and thank you Amalia for bring such a nice housemaid !!! Hope to be back again.

We had a fabulous week at the Quinta. It's a stunning location and we really felt relaxed there after a busy year. Our children (8 and 5) were enthralled with the lizards, bats and assortment of unusual bugs in the terraces...and the pool of course. I'd love to go back again next year but for a longer stay. I'm not sure that I'd be able to stay away if I were the owner!! Celine and Anthony

We loved our stay at this beautiful rustic retreat. We arrived late at night and woke to birdsong, blue skies and the loveliest view over the garden to the distant sea beyond. The garden, with its stunning pool, fruit trees and flowers, is a little piece of paradise. There’s plenty to see and do in the area – west and south coast beaches, interesting towns, scenic walks, cycling - and a range of simple, local restaurants as well as good amenities in nearby Montchique. If you’re looking for peace and tranquillity away from the summer crowds, this is the perfect escape.
