Quinta Da Agra

Pedro made us feel so at home, we didn’t want to leave! Beautiful old farmhouse lovingly restored. Very pretty with a great garden, roses up the wall and the occasional roaming turkey! When the priest came on Easter Sunday we were included in the greeting and tasted his own wines too.

Staying at Quinta Da Agra was a very different but delightful experience. It was difficult to find (address on Hotel.com was incorrect) but we met some lovely locals who tried patiently to help us ignorant people who don't speak Portugese to find it! Pedro's pride in his farmhouse is infectious and he is a wealth of information. We loved our stay and particularly enjoyed sitting in the quiet of the backyard in the shade of the olive tree, overlooking the fields and the swimming pool. However, there were a couple of things that slightly detracted from our experience; the bed was just a little uncomfortable and it was quite warm in the room overnight - a fan would have been nice but Pedro wasn't onsite to ask. Breakfast was good and we shared with one other couple but were told that there had been 14 people staying the night before which may have detracted from our peaceful overall experience! We would definitely stay here again, it was a unique and authentic experience and we loved it!

Fantastic hotel. Lovely owner who is happy to tell you all the history and is incredibly helpful generally. The breakfast was lovely with freshly made bread and cake with creamy butter. Bacon and egg was also on offer. A delightful place.
