Additional Events, Meals & Bar Options

Day before and day after wedding events

We do not offer formal wedding catering since this is much better left to the specialists.

We do however have an experienced team able to provide less formal service for example a rehersal or welcome dinner. For pool parties or welcome cocktails the pool area provides a fantastic venue, more than ample in size for several hundred people.  Our BBQ or a hog roast served by the pool is a great option for larger groups or as part of a pool party. 

If you are interested in holding a day before or day after event for your wedding party, it is best to let us know at the time of booking to ensure availability and find out about our pricing. In any case we need to know at least three months in advance to guarantee our ability to deliver the service required. 

Please note, we do not permit the wedding day caterer or other wedding service providers to offer day before or after services at our property unless EXPRESSLY agreed with us in writing at the time of booking.

Guest Bar

Opening in Spring 2026 is our new poolside bar / cafe / restaurant exclusively for guest use. There will be a selection of coffees, snacks, meals,  local wines, draft lager, soft drinks and cocktails available from breakfast time until 10pm. We will be posting more information once we are open. 

This is the bar service for guests staying in our accommodation, the wedding bar is separate and will be provided and served by your caterer.

Meals and Parties

For all groups and parties we have range of catering options at your disposal ranging from just breakfast, full board, pool parties, BBQ’s and welcome dinners. Starting in Spring 2026 is our new poolside bar / cafe / restaurant which will serve food and drink to guests during their stay. For larger groups, meals should be preordered in advance to guarantee service.  

Whilst staying at the Quinta, we have a range of meal and snack options available from the bar or ordered in advance and served to your whole group. We will be happy to send you the list of options, however there will always be food and drinks available from the poolside bar for guests staying with us.   

Please note all meal and bar requirements for groups of more than 50 guests need to be confirmed at least 2 months before arrival including the total numbers and any food preferences (vegans, vegetarians etc), nutritional requirements or food allergies to guarantee the service. For groups between 12 and 50 please let us know one month before arrival and for smaller groups, there are various options available without preorder at the bar. 

Breakfast

We offer a Portuguese style continental breakfast which includes freshly baked breads, cereals, home-made jams, dried fruits and nuts, seasonal fruits, cheese, yoghurt, a daily fruit smoothie, some custard tarts  and always freshly squeezed Portuguese orange juice, coffees and teas. Breakfast and Brunch is served down by the pool. 

For the bridal brunch we serve a more substantial menu with a cooked breakfast, salads, savoury and sweet snacks.

Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements before your arrival and we will do our best to accommodate them

Services & Facilities

Our Service

We have a small team who are passionate about making your stay as special as we can. Our aim to make you feel welcome, at home and to help you enjoy your time here. We are not an hotel with an army of staff on hand day and night, but we always do our personal best to provide what our guests want. Please let us know in advance if you require something in particular during your stay and we will be happy to arrange it for you.  

Housekeeping & Laundry Service

As a rule we do not disturb guests in their rooms after they have checked in without prior agreement, therefore if you require any room cleaning, fresh towels or anything else please let us know at breakfast time.  If you require any laundry or ironing services during your stay please deliver the items to a member of the housekeeping team during breakfast service with precise washing instructions. Our team will be happy to machine wash and dry machine washable and dryable clothes for a small charge however we will not accept any precious or delicate items which can be sent to the professional dry cleaning service (5asec) in the local town next to the Intermarche Supermarket.

Swimming Pool

The pool is around 170m2 in area, and has a large shallow area and a deep end of 200cm. We use salt water electrolysis to clean the water and solar heating to make the pool pleasant to use usually from May until October. There is a large terrace providing plenty of sun. 

The pool is open from breakfast time until sunset. The pool itself is a strict glass free zone, however glasses can be used at the bar, dining tables and terraces around the pool. If you are holding an event down by the pool with glassware in use, the area right next to the pool will be closed to prevent broken glass falling into the pool. i.e. pool party drinks etc will be served in plastic.  

Parking

We have a large shady carpark set under some cork oak trees for guest use. It is well illuminated in the evening and has a secure gate. The carpark is a short walk from the main house. There is a temporary parking area next to the house for use when checking in and unloading your luggage.
