Casas da Quinta

It was a beautiful, well equipped cottage with charming decor. The hostess, Maria, was wonderful. She was warm and generus and went out of her way to make my stay thoroughly enjoyable. There was even a delightful and unexpected welcome package when I arrived.

We stayed in a very nice studio cottage. There ended up being a tropical storm for our 2 days staying here, and this was a great place to ride it out. We watched movies and cooked dinner and it was a very cozy experience. The place is modern and very welcoming. The shower was excellent. The back patio had a hammock.

We booked 3 nights the manager initially appeared very friendly & welcoming. Maria (the manager) asked us to contact her if there were any issues. I contacted her politely, mentioning that it was unbearably hot for a child in the loft of the cottage where she moved us: over 30C (no ventilation or insulation in the loft); I also reported a blocked shower. Without any warning the host cancelled our reservation (but kept the money!) and marked me as “no show” and asked us to leave the property. I had to call my travel agent who contacted the host to advise her that this was illegal. We then remained at the site for two more nights, the manager was very rude to me ever since that and went on to leave bad review to me on some booking sites …why? Needless to say, the experience was very poor, and we stayed there as we had no alternative. I would never stay here again, nor would I recommend this property merely because of the attitude of the manager.
