Boa estadia com pontos a melhorar!

Gostámos particularmente dos dias vividos nos silêncio e calma da propriedade.. da simpatia com que nos receberam, do facto das crianças poderem andar livres e em segurança. Do encontro com a natureza e dos dias sem horários. A melhorar: não existia iluminação da casa até a sala comum o que dificultava muito o acesso, não existiam redes mosquiteiras país não permitia arejar o quarto, o estrado da cama chiava ruidosamente, o sistema de rega estava mal orientado e mal programado e estávamos na piscina ao final do dia e fomos surpreendidos por um do banho de esguicho assim como na manhã seguinte as cadeiras e pufes estavam encharcados. Também o pão que nos foi deixado de manhã à porta de casa que não constava na lista de bens a adquirir e comi tal julgávamos ser cortesia, foi nos cobrado no final da estadia sem aviso previo. A quinta tem imenso potencial mas poderia estar muito mais cuidada.

Sossego seguro

Local ideal para relaxar na natureza. Casa conforme a expetativa. Adoramos o pequeno almoço! Pão quentinho e natas especiais logo pela manhã.... não é todos os dias!

Alojamento muito acolhedor

Adorável, muito sossegado e onde foi possível descansar, disfrutar da natureza local e conhecer melhor as zonas limítrofes. Fomos com família e amigos, as crianças adoraram o espaço, principalmente do contacto com os animais na visita à Quinta do Carapinhal. Ao responsável pela nossa estadia, o Ruben Gama, agradecemos de coração toda a simpatia, amabilidade e disponibilidade que teve connosco. Esperamos voltar e se possível no Verão, para aproveitar todo o potencial da zona e das praias fluviais. Recomendamos, sem dúvida!

Fantastic bhost

Sadly the weather was cold and wet but our dear host did everything in her power to overcome our discomfort. Sadly the wood burning stove smoked, the new induction hobs had no pans that worked. However on the plus side the place is fabulous had the weather been good the pool would have been great it was lovely. We were taken to see our host’s cheese making facility which was fascinating. Her generosity and help were way beyond what one would normally expect . We ate very well on both her recommendations. The Gite was delightful if a little bohemian. It was not easy to find initially but in a delightful setting. A great place for good weather.

Recomendo!

Passei um fim de semana na Vumba e adorei! Todo o processo foi simples, a marcação da estadia, o check in e o check out. De salientar a simpatia da Catarina e da Adélia. A chegada à suite Bue Maria foi muito agradável. Um espaço amplo e muito limpo! A casa de banho também bastante limpa e com um aspecto novo! A área comum de cozinha e sala estavam limpas e arrumadas. As condições perfeitas para um fim de semana de descanso em que apenas se ouviam os animais. A vista da suite é deslumbrante! Os vários pormenores de decoração tanto no quarto, na casa de banho e inclusivé no exterior são uma surpresa! Recomendo, quero voltar e desta vez por mais tempo !!!
