Quinta da Sandade

What a lovely place! The perfect setting for a fabulous vacation. The central location gave us easy access to the highway for days we wanted to explore and a stones throw to the beach and bird preserve for the days we wanted to chill out. Watching the sunset from the patio was our evening ritual.

Our second time to the Quinta and it was just as special as the first. The property works so well for our family with everything you need and more within the villa plus the 2 pools on property are both excellent and clean. Quiet beaches even in high season are close by as are Zoo Marine and Slide and Splash for great family days out. The constant breeze make the weather ideal.

Peaceful setting

We stayed in 10A apartment, which was clean, bright & modern. The balcony area was spacious & a relaxing area with a bbq which we used several times. There are 2 pool areas which had plenty of sun beds & umbrellas. The pool was very clean. You do needs a car if you stay here, but the view across is peaceful & it is lovely at night watching the sun go down with a glass of Portuguese rose.

Séjour Agréable

Hébergement très agréable. Bien placé avec tout le confort. Idéal pour des vacances en famille au calme. Disponibilité et réactivité des hôtes à nos demandes. Dommage que l'eau du robinet ne soit pas potable. L'eau vient d'un puit et est donc salée.

Week begin april 2024

Klein huis maar terras maakt veel goed. Proper, behalve de bbq( verroest, is als eerste gebruik na de winter niet te gebruiken) Behulpzame eigenaars via chat en aan de telefoon. Veel te doen in de buurt. ( stadjes, zoomarine, zee, boottochten, kliffen…)Domein op zich vonden wij wat verwaarloosd. Missch wordt het wat geupdate en levendiger in het hoogseizoen. Al bij al een hele toffe week

We have used the BBQ this week and it is cleaned after each use by the maids. With regards to the Quinta itself, the pool areas and gardens get painted every year after the rainy season has finished, usually beginning of May. The gardens are always beautifully maintained by our two full time gardeners. It is good to hear you enjoyed you week at the villa.

lovely place

The setting is beautiful, with views across a valley to woodland, the villas are clean and have everything you need, a spacious balcony with a barbecue. The estate gardens are well tended, the pools are good and the onsite restaurant is great, and the horse riding perfect for young children. These villas are extremely good value for money, so don't expect luxury or for everything to be brand new, and personally I would have been prepared to pay a bit more to fund the installation of some solar-powered swimming pool heaters, but overall I think this place is a gem.
