Scopri il tuo soggiorno a Vale de Água

This is our 3rd (or 4th?) stay at Herdade da Matinha over the years. It has grown and changed, but kept the wonderful simplicity and farm-stay (not your usual, ‘comercial’ resort!) feeling that make it such a special place. Don’t be put-off by the dirt road - it’s a rural setting, the road is well kept and good enough, and you wouldn’t want to spoil the area with yet another tar road in such an important ecological spot. The road to Praia do Malhao is much worse but you shouldn’t miss it either, by the way! Besides the 3 sweet dogs Gina, Paz and Dino (who will disappear at night ), there are at least two cats, horses, sheep roaming in a nearby fence and some wild animals if you are so lucky to spot them. This was a bonus point with my kids. Also, it’s very safe for kids - my boys loved wondering about with a map to explore every corner. The 3 pools (one for adults only) have comfortable decks with shaded areas. Our bedroom was a ‘family farmhouse deluxe’ - simple, no TV, but spacious enough for a mother with two young kids. Breakfast is good - many options available also upon request. Dinner was very good most days - great improvements here since our last stay. Even the kids’ meal is now proper food; tasty, healthier and better balanced! My only suggestion would be to offer a choice of salad to replace the soup (even for children) and a choice of fruit to replace the desert (to help reduce the sugar intake for people staying for longer periods). It’s a set menu (with a vegetarian option), but it worked fine for us. I find laundry too expensive. No ironing is available… There’s a new art gallery in the Herdade as well - be sure to check what’s going on there. Finally, everyone is super nice, cheerful and professional. Thank you all for your commitment. We’ll be back, hopefully!

Siamo rimasti a Casas de Mirobriga per una settimana in agosto, dopo essere stati raccomandati dalla famiglia che ci sono stati alcuni anni ora. Volevamo pace, silenzio e tranquillità, Casas de Mirobriga ha promesso e ha consegnato questo e più! Abbiamo preso con noi il nostro nipote di tre anni e lui l'amoreva assolutamente (egli si sarebbe sbattuto un po' quando era tempo di tornare a casa alla fine di un giorno nelle piscine!).Gli appartamenti erano ben progettati con tutto ciò che si desidera o si avvicinava. I letti erano molto confortevoli e l'aria condizionata era un salvatore di vita! Anche il personale era sorprendente. Dovremmo restare di nuovo? Sicuramente sì.
