Quinta da Boiça has been in our family for 4 generations. We inherited the property from our mother, our grandmother before and our great grandfather - William Lawrence Oram, who purchased it from the Cook family of Monserrate Palace. He was their ship chandler and property manager for some years. You can see views of Monserrate Palace from Quinta da Boiça.
We took over the Quinta in 2007 and have been renting to our guests in order that we are able to preserve this indigenous forest with its mixture of ancient trees and variety of bushes and shrubs. It is quite unique in its variety and we have endeavoured to keep it so, avoiding eucalyptus and acacias and cherishing the pine, cork , cedar, oak, walnut etc trees that you will be able to see on your walks inside the Quinta.
