The Adriatic (we held back from calling it the AdriATTIC) is the fully converted upper floor of the original farm house at Quinta Do Bom Vento accessed by its own private external stairway. The open plan studio design of 30m2 has its own private bathroom, fully equipped kitchenette then a queen sized bed with small dining and dressing tables and open hanging wardrobe with shelves. 2 comfortable chairs allow you to take in the stunning valley views through the floor to ceiling double doors on the rare occasions you aren't out on your elevated private tiled terrace with panoramic valley views sunbathing or having a bbq. A glass wind break ensures that you can enjoy this space even if the village of Bom Vento (Good Wind) is living up to its name.
We designed all of our quintinhas as homes as opposed to rentals and we believe the quality of furnishings, linens and towels reflect that. Knowing how frustrating it can be renting rural properties and arriving to an empty fridge and cupboards, we provide an extensive starter pack including milk, butter, cold meats, cheese, bread, fruit, tea, coffee, wine and beer along with essentials such as washing up liquid, paper towels, oils and vinegars. etc. Recognising the ever restrictive luggage allowances on flights we also provide toiletries and beach towels.
Quinta do Bom Vento is truthfully the BEST self catering accommodation I have stayed in. The standard of furnishings is superb with everything you could possibly want on holiday, and more. Everything about the beautiful loft apartment was perfect.....I could easily and happily have stayed much longer. Sam and Rich are the ultimate hosts who have clearly put a lot of effort and time into creating a beautiful and relaxing home from home. They are extremely helpful and friendly and did everything to make my stay at QBV an enjoyable one. The location is perfect for exploring the beautiful Silver Coast area or even just relaxing in the grounds at QBV. I really cannot recommend Quinta do Bom Vento enough, there are absolutely no negatives.....apart from the photos NOT doing justice to the superb accommodation. I loved it so much I've booked to go back in February.
