Our stay at Quinta da Pitarrela was wonderful. The views were amazing, surrounded by vineyards. We stayed in Casa Rosa and our rooms were private, comfortable, and very clean. The bathrooms were modern, and we had our own private kitchen with bathroom just a short walk up the road that came with meat, cheese, milk, coffee, and juice – what a special touch!

Confirm the payment arrangements before you arrive, I was surprised that they wanted cash and had to travel back into town (10 min on winding roads) to...
