Vinte-Quinta da Boavista

This place was absolutely amazing! We are avid travelers and this place was by far one of the more gorgeous places we ever stayed at. The grounds were stunning. Room service was so accommodating for everything we needed. Beautiful pool. Highly recommend!!! Maria in reception was exceptional. I met the owner as well who was so friendly and accommodating.

I visited Vince - Quinta Da Boavista for a cooking course. The place is wonderful, with orange and lemon trees, camellias, vineyards and surrounded by eucalyptus trees. It’s all I needed for a short break from family and work. Room design, breakfast, attentiveness of the staff were on a level I rarely find in Germany. Especially surprising was genuine warmth of the hosts making us feel instantly at home. Don’t skip Francescas’s breakfast, cause everything deserves a mention: fresh eggs, fresh fruits, great choice of marmalade and nuts. Her dinner doesn’t stay behind. Even the massage and yoga was above my expectations and I say it as an experienced Yogi. I suppose it’s because hosts chose everything to be as they would like it for themselves and spend most of their time on the Quinta. I don’t often write reviews, but this place truly deserves it – a peaceful retreat that I’d gladly recommend to anyone.

Thank you Maria & Vinte team for making our dream proposal come true. The Quinta is just pure magic, every inch of this place is designed with intention. Photos truly do not do this place justice. The service is unmatched, from the start Maria was responsive and made every single one of my requests a reality without a question. This Quinta will forever be remembered by us and our family. I highly recommend you visit Vinte Quinta!!

It was an absolute pleasure to stay at this property! We had seen a couple of reviews and we did like what we saw on the website as well. However since it is such a young property we didn't quite know what to expect. I am thrilled to say that our stay vastly exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed and looked after by Maria Lopes who is the kindest person! The owners are also very nice and the lady of the house would always bring fresh flowers for our breakfast table which was such a nice touch. The two houses that are available at the moment are impeccably renovated and decorated, having kept their traditional Portuguese feel on the outside and feeling very modern and yet cabin like inside. Little Portuguese details have been kept on the inside which I loved. We went as a couple however the whole experience is also clearly designed for families. They have a play room, a basket ball/football field as well as many walking trails to explore through their beautiful gardens and vineyard. We did not get to do any of that as it was so hot we spent the whole day at the pool which is in impeccable condition. In addition, and in light of its name we can verify that the view is stunning from wherever you stand - "Boavista" indeed!. The only reason I do not rate our stay with top marks is the fact that it is clearly missing a good restaurant or a more elaborated menu. They do have some meals available and the breakfast is great ( I have to eat gluten free and I always had something different to eat every day). However throughout the day if you want to have a more consistent meal than a club sandwich or a portobello mushroom with sautéed vegetables (both great but not a filling as one may need if they spend the whole day exploring) you do have to go to Ponte Lima Centre to find good Portuguese food. This isn't necessarily bad but it would be more convenient to have an in-house restaurant. Nevertheless we did have a fully equipped kitchen so we could have cooked, we just didn't want it to interfere with our laying around time ;) The good news however is that the property is expanding and a restaurant is in the making so fingers crossed for that. We definitely hope to be back for years to come, hopefully with a family of our own!

We had the most wonderful stay at the Vinte-Quinta da Boavista. We rented out both cottages and had the whole place to ourselves. The kids loved the pool, the animals and most of all the kids play house. The property was breathtaking and serene. You could be swimming one day, playing basketball ball another, enjoying the sauna or a morning walk. To think this place exists is like a dream. It was both luxury and family friendly. Breakfast was amazing and such a special treat to wake up to everyday ( we all missed it so much when we left ). The kids got to take a class and bake us a cake. It really was a special weekend in the most wonderful place. We also ventured out at night to local towns for dinner. Ponte de lima was such a cute town with so much history. We also celebrated my birthday and had a wonderful dinner that was provided by a local chef. Everything made was amazing and we sat outside watching the sunset. It really was spectacular. My family and I cannot wait to come back and enjoy this beautiful place once again. We thank everyone at the Vinte-Quinta da Boavista for the most amazing stay with the greatest and kindest owners and staff.

Notre séjour dans cet agrotourisme cet été a été absolument exceptionnel, grâce à l’hospitalité hors du commun de Maria et son équipe, qui ont anticipé nos moindres besoins avec une attention inégalée. Cet établissement est un véritable paradis pour les familles, notamment pour notre bébé de 18 mois. Tout était pensé pour lui : une rambarde a été installée dans l’escalier au cours de notre séjour pour garantir sa sécurité, un geste sur mesure qui nous a impressionnés ! Le matériel de puériculture (chaise haute, table à langer) était exceptionnel, et la maison des enfants, un espace génial pour jouer à l’abri des grosses chaleurs, a ravi notre fils. Il a également adoré observer le coq et les poules en liberté. Le clou du séjour fut le petit gâteau préparé spécialement pour les 18 mois de notre bébé, une attention qui nous a profondément émus. La maison est d’un confort inégalé, décorée avec un goût exquis et équipée de tout ce dont une famille peut rêver. Maria a même veillé à ce que la borne de recharge pour notre voiture hybride fonctionne parfaitement, nous permettant de voyager l’esprit tranquille. L’établissement, d’un luxe raffiné, offre des paysages à couper le souffle avec une vue imprenable sur les vignes, dont nous ne nous lassions jamais. La localisation est idéale, avec une multitude d’activités à seulement 20 minutes, et Maria nous a fourni des recommandations d’adresses que nous avons toutes adorées. Cet agrotourisme est une perle rare, alliant charme, confort et un service véritablement sur mesure. Un immense merci à Maria, nous recommandons cet endroit à 100 % et reviendrons avec un immense plaisir !
