Quinta Grande de Boliqueime by portucasa

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the property. As a large family group of 10 we had the 3 separate properties as one booking and the spaces worked really well for us as everyone had their own space but we could use the largest as a base for our cooking & socialising. The only slightly negative points would be that whilst very clean, the bathrooms were a little dated/tired and let the properties down slightly. The same can be said of the pool with some cracked tiles etc. The location was also more rural than we were expecting from the description with nothing in walking distance. Having said that we had hired a car and taxis/Ubers were easy to arrange so it didn’t affect our stay but it would have been nice to have an option of a walk without a drive first. Overall though we had a wonderful time and I have to say that it was the best equipped kitchen that we have ever had on any holiday!

With three separate buildings, each family had room to spread out but then reconvene in the main house or outdoors for meals. The pool was the perfect size with plenty of seating around the pool for everyone. The grill came in handy one night for cooking. Deolinda, our host, was wonderful. Incredibly responsive and helpful, willing to make reservations for dinner when asked. The AC in the rooms was phenomenal and much appreciated in the evenings. Overall, we loved our visit and would definitely stay at the property again. Property's a little remote so I would provide more restaurant recommendations as it was a little difficult figuring out where to eat in the evenings. For example, I would add Donkey's Bar and some of the other more upscale eateries to what was included in the welcome book. Otherwise, it's a fantastic property. The only other suggestion would be to provide an option for guests to do their own laundry instead of relying on Maria.

Brilliant. All my doubts evaporated on arrival. Deolinda greeted us and made us welcome. The accommodation was perfect for my families: grandparents, 3 children plus spouses and 3 grandchildren. Much laughter was heard from the pool all day. At night the boys did the braai and the girls the salads. It was the best time ever. Thank you.

Mooi huis van alle gemakken voorzien, heerlijk zwembad. Bij aankomst was er gezorgd dat we ontbijt hadden, dat was super. Het huis was zeer schoon. Hier en daar wat achterstallig onderhoud, hekwerk en poortjes buiten, ligbedden bij zwembad, de kraan in de keuken lekt.
