Vila Nova de Oliveirinha
Portugal

Quinta Cottages are set in the rolling picturesque landscape of rural Portuguese life, made up of three beautiful properties; Chestnut Barn, Mimosa Cottage and Acorn House.

These holiday homes are based on the Quinta do Vale de Ferreiro, a farm house with 24 acres of terraced pastures inhabited by chickens, ducks, goats and pigs, interlaced with Eucalyptus forest, pine and oak trees, olive and various fruit trees, and bordered on one side by a meandering brook with a natural swimming hole and waterfall.

Matt, Jo and family welcome their guests onto their farm with woodland walks, 2 swimming pools, children's playground with sand pit, football area and much more...

As parents ourselves we understand how difficult it can be to take all those accessories your children need. Therefore, for 2008, we have included a wide range of equipment, toys and games for children of all ages.

Quinta do Vale de Ferreiro is just a ten minutes walk through the woods to the local village which has 2 cafes/bars, a fishmonger, a small shop selling basic food and wine, a pharmacy and a post office.

At the Quinta cottages we are trying to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Recycling is encouraged at each cottage with bins for glass, metal and plastic as well as organic waste which we then use for own compost and animal fodder. All of the water on site is from our own springs and wells, we grow our own vegetables and have fresh eggs every morning. This summer we are aiming to have our own English style bacon and sausages available for purchase.

What ever type of holiday you are looking for, whether it is relaxing by the swimming pool, getting a tan and reading a book, to visiting historical monuments, to activities such as horse riding, clay pigeon shooting, wine tasting, fishing, sailing, river swimming or snow boarding and skiing in the winter try Quinta cottages.
