4th visit
This is our fourth visit to Monte da Quinta with our Son, his wife & grandchildren - each time we feel things cannot improve, but they do. Cottages, pool, farm, scenery are the best. The children love to help feed the animals and the cupboards in the cottages are full of toys, books keeping them happy. Our favourite part is the evenings having a drink on the terrace until the sun goes down. Will see you all again soon. xxxx
