We loved our stay at Quinta do Banco in August. The little village is on the top of a hill and make sure to go to the central cafe (the centre of life of the village) which is just next door and say hello to Jorge. We were able to watch the Champions League final there with the locals. The grounds around the house are beautiful. The view from the house (over looking the countryside) is spectacular. We love horses and the stables are a stone's throw away from the guest house. This house is huge. Not just with 3 bedrooms, but with a suite of salons and sitting rooms and a very cool kitchen and bar area that is all tiled in typical, authentic Portugese style. We were mostly on the go visiting nearby Obidos, Ereciera, Sintra. The country roads are easy to navigate and we were sad not to be able to spend more time at the house or visiting the local vineyards. Jose Manuel and his team are amazing and always were able to help us or get anything we needed. In non Covid time, the farm operates a high level equitation centre with some champion horses. We highly recommend it! A car is needed.
