Renta de alojamientos vacacionales con alberca en Los Arribes

We verbleven met onze 2 kleine kinderen (2 en 4 jaar) op de Quinta van Tim en Saartje. En we hebben zo’n fijne tijd gehad! Tim en Saartje maken het je comfortabel tijdens het hele verblijf van persoonlijke ontvangt, altijd bereikbaar (telefonisch en fysiek) voor vragen en tot uitzwaaien bij vertrek. We voelden ons direct thuis! Casa Rincon is zelfs nog ruimer en leuker als op de foto’s, alles super schoon en keuken van alle gemakken voorzien! Na een goede nachtrust op fijne bedden konden we ook nog heerlijke broodjes als ontbijt bestellen! We hebben genoten van de ruimte om de accommodatie heen, de stilte en rust. Onze zoons hebben zich uren kunnen vermaken op de speeltoestellen en in de zandbak terwijl wij van het mooie uitzicht konden genieten. In de omgeving is genoeg te doen. Daar weten Saartje en Tim ook genoeg over te vertellen. Je hebt wel een auto nodig, maar alles is goed bereikbaar vanaf Quinta da Estrela. Kortom, echt een perfect vakantieadres, zeker met kinderen!

The house was perfect. The area around the house was even better. It's an awesome option to stay away from noise and rush. The assistance was also great. All our questions were answered in advance and during the stay. I highly recommend this place, and I'll be glad to come back. Note: there are up to 5 big dogs outside the house. If you're planning to come with your dogs, keep in mind that it will be difficult/impossible to spend time with them outside.

Debido a una avería en el coche no pude disfrutar de la estancia, pero la comunicación fue excelente.

Phillipa and Paul were absolutely lovely to work with and their property is unbelievable! We felt like we owned a Quinta for a few nights! we got to explore the property, visit with Paul and one of their sons, and savor the beauty of the Douro. They were proactive with communication and sourced a number of wonderful adventures, activities and meals. Without their guidance our trip would have been less fun!

Cannot say enough about this place, its everything it says and lots more. The ladies that service the property along with preparing breakfasts were simply awesome. Aurora's chocolate cake was a hit, and we had it for dessert and breakfast! The location and views are postcard perfect and that comes with some nervous driving to get there, but once you know the quirks really not that bad, just be careful. Highly recommending this to friends that are planning a trip to this beautiful part of the world.

Si vous aimez la nature et le calme vous êtes au bon endroit ! Le lieu est très agréable, la vue est magnifique. José est très sympathique et de bon conseils pour vos visites. Je recommande +++

In spite of our short stay, we loved António's place. The house was comfortably warm when we arrived. Everything was very clean, outdoor is lovely. António gave us great suggestions for restaurants in the area, we chose one in Trancoso, which was indeed very good. The little village is a gem and we specially enjoyed talking to the residents. A big thank you to Isabel as well, who received us with open arms and led us to the house (we missed it the first time we drove by). We hope to be back and stay longer.

Pedro was a fabulous host. He was a great travel guide. The breakfasts provided were delicious and there was plenty for lunch or picnics during the day. The sheets and laundry were done and ironed upon request. The scenery from our two balconies and generous patio was second to none, overlooking olive groves, orange groves and grapevines. The kitchen was well equipped with modern appliances. We purchased some wonderful wine from Pedro's farm. Highly recommend, Frank and Dianne

What an incredible stay we had! Francisco and family were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. As others have said, he even brought us fresh bread in the morning, which we combined with local cheese, jam, and a nice Nespresso coffee. All very good but really it was the breakfast setting that made it amazing. Essentially you’re sitting out on a terrace in the sky overlooking the vineyards and the Vale de Mendiz. Stunning! Everywhere you go is a picture taking. The colours in the valley view are constantly changing with the light. Francisco also made recommendations which were very enjoyable outings, e.g. beautiful Casa de Mateus (we had lunch at Bistro Palcio just outside the main gate, try it), winery Quinta de São Luiz (Francisco’s son João recommendation), Pinhão for Douro river boat tour (the drive there along the valley is incredible). Must not forget the family’s happy-go-lucky long haired dachshund Pappy. What a cutie! Merci beaucoup Francisco! Gary & Suzie
