Great stay near Penela
Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Quinta das Amoras! Thalie was extremely friendly, helpful, and the communication was great before and during our stay. The property is incredible and located in a beautiful area. We would absolutely stay at this amazing house again!

A Perfect place
We stayed at Quinta das Amoras for a week of our month long visit to Portugal. We chose it based on the positive reviews and its more rual location. From here it was easy to visit the University in Coimbra, 2 Castles, Nazare, and some Roman ruins. Even with a busy schedule it felt like coming home at the end of the day and taking a down day and doing nothing more than reading was easy.

Great place
Thalie met us at the door; gave us a quick tour and we didn’t want to leave. A quiet, modern country place overlooking olive and orange groves. Highly recommend this place!

Exploring Portugal
Everything from location, attention to detail, comfort and communication was exceptional. Thalie has created a beautiful home that feels welcoming and relaxing. Information re what to do, suggestions for “must sees” was excellent. I wish we could have stayed longer

Amazing property
My family and I had a wonderful stay. The place was exactly as described and actually exceeded our expectations! An absolutely gorgeous property. Nearly everything you would require for an extended stay was provided and the property owner was very helpful providing information about things to do in the area. Communication was easy and fast when needed. You do need a car to get around, but it is only 20 minutes from a major city (Coimbra) and almost exactly halfway from both Lisbon and Porto, making for easy day trips to either city. There is also a grocery store/shopping center less than 10 minutes drive away. The area is surrounded by stunning nature and many historical sights as well. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking to experience Portugal away from the busy touristy cities and enjoy the peace and beauty of the country!
