Luxury Manor House, Countryside and Seaside, Self Catering, Amazing Gardens

Magnificent, roomy, historical family Manor with modern updates including great beds and ensuite for every bedroom. The owner Paulo was a wonderful host, who provided free range of the beautiful farm, grounds and gardens. He arranged for a driver for us on very short notice. We made and drank litres of orange juice every morning, had access to fresh herbs and seasonal vegetables. The gardener gave us a cooking lesson and samples of her own wines. We arranged for breakfast a couple of mornings. The homemade jams made by our hosts mother were delicious. Every morning a big bag of fresh Portuguese buns were on our door step. What we enjoyed most was just hanging out at the manor. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook on days we stayed "home". The village of Perre had everything we needed, some good restaurants, bakeries and grocers. It was a very good stay.

The house was beautiful, spacious and clean with many areas to just sit and relax. The gardens are absolutely amazing, beautiful water features and incredible selection of plants and trees.

Paulo and his wife were very helpful. Paulo even arranged a doctors appointment for one unfortunate member of the group who needed medical attention. I cannot recommend this place enough, the pictures do not do it justice. We would certainly return again.

Wir hatten leider nur eine Nacht im Gite de Bento Novo gebucht, da wir eine Rundreise durch Portugal geplant hatten. Das Gite de Bento Novo ist eine unglaublich schöne Quinta. Sie liegt zwar etwas abseits, aber dadurch ist es sehr ruhig. Wir konnten uns die Zimmer ansehen. Diese waren alle mit alten stilvollen Möbeln eingerichtet. Auch unser Bett war sehr bequem. Am Bad gab es nichts zu beanstanden, Die Gartenanlage war in unseren Augen ein kleines Paradies. Alles schön verwachsen mit verschlungenen Wegen. Man durfte auch uneingeschränkt Obst pflücken. Bei uns gab es Orangen, Kiwis und Äpfel. Wir waren zwar die einzigen Gäste dort (Nachsaison), aber trotzdem wurde uns am nächsten Morgen ein perfektes Frühstück gemacht, mit frischen Kaffee und frischgepreßtem Orangensaft, frischen Semmeln, Rührei, selbstgemachter Marmeladen, Müsli usw. Einfach nur lecker! Die Quinta Gite de Bento Novo ist auf jeden Fall eine Reise wert!

Our stay at Quinta do Bento Novo was just marvellous.

We have no words to express how delighted we are with our decision on this house.

It's the only place I've seen where the place is actually best than its photos!

We are a family of 16 and growing divided by three generations, with different preferences and all of us have really enjoyed this farm.

It's one of a kind, huge gardens and house, good exterior and interior spaces to cook or have dinner and rest, great gastronomy, fresh fish available everywhere, you wake up hearing birds and oh, the smell of Nature!

There are fruit in the farm that you can eat, a stone tank that we used as a pool, you can ask the gardener to bring you fresh vegetables every day, I really have no words to express such a wonderful time we had in Quinta do Bento Novo.

I recommend without any reservations.
