Quinta do Rapozinho

We stayed for 10 days and could easily have stayed longer. Teresa and Paulo are amazing hosts full of great advice, tips and going above and beyond to help book activities for us such as bike hire. It is set in beautiful country side 10mins up the hill from the local town, meaning that when it was 30 degrees there it was more like 27 on the farm which was perfect. The pool is a great size and not too busy (we often had it to ourselves) and there is so much to do in the area- highly recommend the National Park and the local adventure park and zip line. We really liked that QDR and the local town felt a bit off the beaten tourist trail too The real highlight for us was how it combined the best of self catering with the best of hotels. Our cottage (Compadre) was clean, cosy, had high quality bed linen and a fully equipped kitchen with a Nespresso machine and large fridge freezer. And stunning views from the windows and balcony! But we also had the amazing breakfasts every morning in the beautiful breakfast room, ordered three course dinner to our room and made use of the same day clothes washing service. Highly recommend this peaceful retreat for families and couples alike.
