Vinte-Quinta da Boavista

Thank you Maria & Vinte team for making our dream proposal come true. The Quinta is just pure magic, every inch of this place is designed with intention. Photos truly do not do this place justice. The service is unmatched, from the start Maria was responsive and made every single one of my requests a reality without a question. This Quinta will forever be remembered by us and our family. I highly recommend you visit Vinte Quinta!!

It was an absolute pleasure to stay at this property! We had seen a couple of reviews and we did like what we saw on the website as well. However since it is such a young property we didn't quite know what to expect. I am thrilled to say that our stay vastly exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed and looked after by Maria Lopes who is the kindest person! The owners are also very nice and the lady of the house would always bring fresh flowers for our breakfast table which was such a nice touch. The two houses that are available at the moment are impeccably renovated and decorated, having kept their traditional Portuguese feel on the outside and feeling very modern and yet cabin like inside. Little Portuguese details have been kept on the inside which I loved. We went as a couple however the whole experience is also clearly designed for families. They have a play room, a basket ball/football field as well as many walking trails to explore through their beautiful gardens and vineyard. We did not get to do any of that as it was so hot we spent the whole day at the pool which is in impeccable condition. In addition, and in light of its name we can verify that the view is stunning from wherever you stand - "Boavista" indeed!. The only reason I do not rate our stay with top marks is the fact that it is clearly missing a good restaurant or a more elaborated menu. They do have some meals available and the breakfast is great ( I have to eat gluten free and I always had something different to eat every day). However throughout the day if you want to have a more consistent meal than a club sandwich or a portobello mushroom with sautéed vegetables (both great but not a filling as one may need if they spend the whole day exploring) you do have to go to Ponte Lima Centre to find good Portuguese food. This isn't necessarily bad but it would be more convenient to have an in-house restaurant. Nevertheless we did have a fully equipped kitchen so we could have cooked, we just didn't want it to interfere with our laying around time ;) The good news however is that the property is expanding and a restaurant is in the making so fingers crossed for that. We definitely hope to be back for years to come, hopefully with a family of our own!

My husband and I spent two fantastic weeks at the Quinta da Boavista. We stayed in a spacious and quiant villa with two rooms, including a full kitchen. It had a balcony and spectacular views of the eucalyptus forest from every window. Every day we woke up to be welcomed by the beauty of the mountain views, smell of the flowers, chirping of birds and soft sounds of the church bells from the nearby village. The peacefull atmosphere of this special place and the hospitality of people who work here are truly remarkable! Every morning we ate the most delicious and healthy breakfast served either in the gardens or in the elegant dining room. Frasishka is a talented cook; several times she also cooked us a great lunch at our requst. After breakfast we took day trips to the surrounding towns and walking trails. We didn't have a car, so the hosts arrange an easy drop off and pick up transportation for us. They suggested interesting places for us to explore and great local restorants to try. In the afternoon, we swam in the pool and sat relaxing in the shade of the fruit trees and flowering plants. Some days we didn't feel like leaving the Quinta at all. So we just walked around the property or read books enjoying the gardens or sitting near the pool. By the way, the free Wi-Fi was super fast all around the property. Two weeks just flew by , and we didn't even have time to use the electric bikes they offered or play tennis at their courts. I guess we will have to do it next time - we are coming back for sure!

We had the most wonderful stay at the Vinte-Quinta da Boavista. We rented out both cottages and had the whole place to ourselves. The kids loved the pool, the animals and most of all the kids play house. The property was breathtaking and serene. You could be swimming one day, playing basketball ball another, enjoying the sauna or a morning walk. To think this place exists is like a dream. It was both luxury and family friendly. Breakfast was amazing and such a special treat to wake up to everyday ( we all missed it so much when we left ). The kids got to take a class and bake us a cake. It really was a special weekend in the most wonderful place. We also ventured out at night to local towns for dinner. Ponte de lima was such a cute town with so much history. We also celebrated my birthday and had a wonderful dinner that was provided by a local chef. Everything made was amazing and we sat outside watching the sunset. It really was spectacular. My family and I cannot wait to come back and enjoy this beautiful place once again. We thank everyone at the Vinte-Quinta da Boavista for the most amazing stay with the greatest and kindest owners and staff.
