Our stay at Quinta da Frontereira was wonderful! We were a big group - two adults, our 4 kids ranging from 9-17 and my 85-year old mother.
In terms of practicalities, the house had plenty of space for us all to stretch out - there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs, and a large kitchen, a dining room and large living/TV room and bathroom downstairs. Everything was immaculately clean and had all the amenities we would need.
We were looking for a place that was a bit outside the city, where we could relax and enjoy ourselves right there, and still be close enough to venture out to see sites in Lisbon and elsewhere. This house certainly met our expectations! The house and surrounding gardens are virtually magical! It is even more beautiful than the pictures on the website. The house has fabulous details - traditional Portuguese tiles, an outdoor stair brought indoors, a closet door that used to be the door of a confessional. It was so enjoyable. Outside, the grounds are gorgeous - full of flowers, tiled walls and statues all around. The pool was big and clean and the kids swam for hours.
The host, Ana, went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We were greeted with a welcome basket of goodies, and each room had a basket of clean towels for bath and pool. We had a few unusual requests for things we needed given my mother's age and abilities and Ana went above and beyond in everything we needed. She was attentive to us during our entire stay.
I can't recommend this home highly enough - especially for families. We hope to return soon!
