The Best Room

This is our grandest room with a magnificent bathroom. The ceiling and much of the woodwork has been richly decorated to represent different types of marble, there are various painted cupboards and a fountain alcove. The bathroom has original 19th century handmade tiles and frescos of sea-horses and fish on the ceiling. One of the highlights of this room is the exceptionally well preserved 18th century Portuguese rosewood bed.

Food & Drink

Breakfast

Depending on the number of guests in your group we serve breakfast in the Old Kitchen or the more formal dining room at the time agreed with the client.

We offer a variety of breakfast options including fresh breads, scones, croissants, cakes, our own honey, home-made jams, seasonal fruits, cheese, yoghurt, cereals, eggs cooked to order, sometimes pancakes and always freshly squeezed Portuguese orange juice, coffees and teas.

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

Drinks service

Clients can opt for either our honour bar service whereby individual guests can serve themselves with drinks from the bar and pay at check out, or we can stock the bar to your requirements via preorder. The drinks are then available for your group to drink as you desire.

The bar is located in the Old Kitchen downstairs. Tea and coffee is available 24 hours a day and is free of charge. The bar options include Soft drinks, bottled water, beer, a variety of gins and spirits, mixers, as well as a selection of the best local wines from our region (Setubal and Palmela). 

Please note, you may bring your own drinks, subject to a corkage fee.   

Lunches and Dinners

For all groups we have flexible catering options ranging from just breakfast, to full board.

Our idea is to offer fresh and seasonal dishes, based on traditional Portuguese flavours with a twist.   Light lunches and four course dinners are available most days. The dinner menu has a daily choice of  a meat, fish or vegetarian main course. 

For those who wish to eat out there are plenty of restaurants within easy reach of the Quinta and we will be happy to make recommendations and reserve tables.

It is not possible for guests to make their own meals at the property.

Day before and day after wedding events

We do not offer formal wedding catering since this is much better left to the specialists. However, many of our clients opt to invite their wedding party to the Quinta for additional less formal events, such as a rehersal or welcome dinner, a poolside BBQ and pool party or the wedding brunch on the day after the wedding. We have an experienced team to provide such additional informal catering.

If you are interested in holding a day before or day after event for your wedding party, please let us know at the time of booking to ensure availability and find out about our pricing.

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.

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.  

Gardens and countryside

We have extensive gardens surrounding the house, and over 50 hectares of cork oak forests, fields and unspoilt countryside to enjoy. The gardens are largely laid out on the west side of the house and along with the pool there is the grand staircase with a flower garden, sunbathing terrace with a lawn, an ancient formal garden with an ornamental pond, an aqueduct and flower gardens.

There are plenty of secluded shady spots to read a book, or to have a picnic or to take a nap and plenty of unspoilt countryside to explore on foot.

The forests are alive with animals and birds including wild boar and eagles circling above.

Spa & 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 and shaded areas with seating and a large sunny lawn. 

Behind the pool is our Spa, with a sauna, steam room, massage area and bathroom. Guests may use the sauna and steam room without additional charge. 

Due to the location and topography of the pool it is impossible to fence off and make inaccessible to children. Guests with infants or small children who cannot swim should keep this in mind before booking. 

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.
