Local agradável e envolvente muito bonita. Casa com divisões muito pequenas sendo excepção o quarto principal. Insuportável com o calor do verão. Necessita de cortinas blackout e de ar condicionado. Piscina excelente.

Excelente estadia

Gostamos muito da casa, do sistema de aquecimento, da modernidade que a casa oferece, mesmo sendo uma quinta, louça disponível, quase nada por reclamar. O sr João foi super simpático e bastante paciente connosco, fizemos um pedido um pouco duvidoso sobre algo que queríamos fazer no pátio, ele aceitou e fui muito agradável para nós. Gostamos muito, foi um excelente Natal, pretendemos voltar para o verão.

Great value property in stunning location

This is a lovely set of small properties in an amazing location, ideally placed to explore the region. The pool was great and big enough to swim in (15 to 20m in length), Our house was clean and comfortable and the owners very helpful. I am very happy to recommend it.

vacances géniales

Un excellent séjour de 15 jours! la maison est très belle et bien équipée, la piscine géniale! L'environnement est superbe et d'une tranquillité absolue! Les propriétaires sont charmants, très à l'écoute et réactifs! Ils ont répondu à toutes nos demandes avec beaucoup de gentillesse! Si vous ajoutez un peu plus de vaisselle pour cuisiner, tout sera parfait! Merci encore pour ce fabuleux séjour qui nous a permis de découvrir le portugal dans d'excellentes conditions.

Regresso a quinta dos carvalhais.

Mais uma vez voltamos a quinta dos carvalhais, como já tinha acontecido anteriormente correu tudo pelo melhor. tive o azar da minha filha adoecer logo no primeiro dia que subi a torre, mas depois a simpatia e atenção do proprietário foram excelentes informando nos logo de outras atividades que podíamos fazer na zona e do que.podiamos visitar uma pessoa com um óptimo conhecimento da zona e sempre disponível, escusado será dizer que correu tudo pelo melhor que aproveitamos ao máximo os dias e viemos.de baterias carregadas para lisboa para mais uma temporada de trabalho. Fica também a certeza dada que para o ano voltaremos na mesma altura e quem sabe não voltamos ainda este ano para aproveitarmos a piscina. Obrigado pelo atendimento e pela atenção que nos foi prestada.

Super relaxante

Espaço fantástico para famílias com crianças e para convívio de amigos. Os nossos filhos adoraram e já fazem planos para levar os amigos. Acharam imensa piada ao parque infantil por estar inserido na 'natureza'. Piscina de manhã à noite. Obrigada pela simpatia da D. Susana, que faz umas compotas deliciosas. Os nossos filhos ficaram encantados com os campos de mirtilhos e de groselhas. Felicidades e esperamos um dia voltar. Alguns pontos a considerar: bicicletas, guarda-sóis na piscina, iluminação estratégica

A Quinta dos Carvalhais é local ideal para umas calmas! O acordar a ouvir o chilrear dos passarinhos; a Natureza e toda a calma e sossego que este espaço proporciona longe da confusão dos centros das cidades, fora do Stress do dia a dia, transmite-nos uma grande paz de espirito! A casa é muito acolhedora, bem equipada e funcional, com decoração moderna mas com muito bom gosto e apresentação, bem como todo o espaço envolvente. A piscina, a churrasqueira e o forno a lenha (excelente e muito funcional) proporcionam uns dias bem passados, que nem apetece sair. A quinta com optimos níveis de limpeza e manutenção no seu todo. Excelentes paisagens. Quanto aos proprietários não temos palavras para escrever as pessoas excecionais que são, de uma simpatia, educação e disponibilidade para resolver qualquer necessidade por nós solicitada. Recomendamos a qualquer pessoa que deseje passar umas férias tranquilas. O nosso muito obrigado ao João e à Paula.
