Description
Hello there,
We are Casper and Monique, the proud owners of a small scale, family run and rustic B&B. We opened our doors in May 2017.
Our Quinta , is situated in Central-Portugal. On top of the hill overlooking the beautiful green valley.
We live here with our 5 year old son Joshua. We have 2 dogs, 4 cats, chicken, Guinee pigs and 3 pygmee goats.
We have 2 Safari-tents, 1 small cottage and a family house which we rent out from April till mid October.
We serve breakfast 7 times a week and lunch on demand. We organize a dinner 3 times a week for our guests, like making pizza's in our stone oven.
We both have a passion for the outdoors, being close to nature and travel off the beaten track. We love pure and honest food. Therefor we have our own chicken and vegetable garden. We try to live of our own produce or good local products as much as possible. We are openminded and welcome all walks of live.
We offer you a private room with your own bathroom and toilet, free use of the pool and all the other facilities.
