A quiet place

Relaxing as expected, quiet and peaceful. As someone else mentioned before, the lack of a living room needs to be pointed out. When the weather is nice, this is not a big issue but during rainy days it is. Joao, Susana and their assistant are caring Hosts who want you to have a perfect stay and are always available.

Prachtige plek, met hele vriendelijke eigenaars. Het heeft ons aan niets ontbroken. Prachtig, schoon zwembad. Huis in omgeven door olijfboomgaarden, stuk grond waar bessen worden gekweekt (waar je van mag proeven), en overweldigend mooie natuur. Echt een plek om heerlijk tot rust te komen. Eigenaars doen hun uiterste best om het je naar de zin te maken.

Un endroit parfait pour se reposer

Location confortable avec de beaux volumes. Cadre très agréable au milieu des plantations d'oliviers et de myrtilliers. Une zone pas très touristique mais avec des choses à voir pour animer le séjour... entre deux moments au bord de la piscine ! Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Propriétaires sympathiques et nous recommandons également leur huile d'olive !

Tranquillité

Endroit super tranquille pour passer des vacances reposantes. En contre bas, nous avons eu la possibilité d'aller cueillir de très bonnes myrtilles sur le terrain de Joao. Nous n'avons manqué de rien et Joao et Susanna ont été à l'écoute pour s'assurer que nous passions de bonnes vacances. La Quinta est composée de deux appartements en bas et d'une autre location au dessus. Nous pensions être seuls mais nos voisins n'ont pas été dérangeants compte tenu de l'espace extérieur. Nous avons tout de même pu profiter de la Quinta en famille, seuls pendant une semaine grâce à la gentillesse de Joao qui a bloqué les réservations sur la deuxième semaine. Concernant les environs, beaucoup de choses à voir : La Sierra da Estrella, le marché de Trancoso le vendredi, Guarda et Viseu. Bref, nous avons passé les vacances que nous voulions et nous aurions bien aimé rester plus longtemps pour profiter de ce merveilleux pays (tant pour la gastronomie, les paysages que les gens). Un grand merci à Susanna et à Joao pour leur gentillesse. Amicalement, Virginie, Mélanie et Manuel

Superbe

Location d'une semaine avec trois enfants dans les deux appartements. Superbe piscine, avec un paysage très beau devant soi. Un endroit où l'on vie dehors grace aux terasses et au climat 😉 Des belles ballades dans la Serra de Estralla, au pont d'arouca et au Passadiços do Paiva. De jolies produits locaux proposés par Joao et Suzana (huile l'olive qu'il fabrique, miel, vin rouge et vin blanc) Ils sont très sympa et disponible.

Entspannung pur

Ein ruhiger Platz in ländlicher Umgebung. Geräumige, saubere und top ausgestatte Unterkunft. Ideal zum Erkunden der umliegenden Städte und Burgen sowie Ausflüge in die Serra da Estrela. Ein eigener (Miet)wagen ist empfohlen, die Öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel haben wir nicht getestet. Die Gastgeber sind sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.

We had a good time at this lovely place, stayed here for two weeks. We loved the site, the landscape, the silence, the lovely pool, the blueberries and the currants, the hills, the days and the nights. Thanks to Susana and Joao for their warm hospitality and the warm welcome. We have been the first time in this region but maybe not the last... 😊

Pontos Bons: Limpeza da casa (faltavam chavenas para o pequeno almoço) Simpatia extrema do anfitrião Sossego do local Local fantástico e lindo Pontos fracos: Internet fraca Aquecimento não funciona à noite Ficámos numa casa só de um quarto que não aparece no anuncio. De resto, no verão deve ser muito bom para aproveitar a piscina. De referir a gatinha, malhadinha, que era também muito simpática!

A Quinta dos Carvalhais é um local fabuloso. Toda a área envolvente é muito bonita, a casa está muito bem cuidada com áreas generosas. A vista é dislumbrante. É o ideal para passar umas excelentes férias com a familía e/ou amigos. Tanto o Sr. João, como a esposa, são pessoas muito atenciosas e preocupadas com o nosso bem estar.
