Ein kleines Küchendesaster

Die Kücheneinrichtung ist noch ergänzungsbedürftig. Das Haus hat keine Terrasse. Man kann vor dem Haus sitzen, es ist dafür aber eigentlich kein Platz vorgesehen. Ich würde das Haus nicht als komfortabel bezeichnen. Es ist groß. Der Pool liegt in etwa 100 m Entfernung. Ich habe dort nie einen Sonnenschirm gesehen. Im Wasser war meist ein Sauggerät. Für mich ein stark eingeschränktes Badevergnügen.

Réclamation

Location pas du tout conforme avec le descriptif d'Abritel au lieu d'un grand barbecue sur une belle terrasse nous avons eu un barbecue de 40 cms au ras du sol. La terrasse un chantier en cours rien à voir avec la photo et la bétonnière qui demarait le matin à 8h sous nos fenêtres de chambre.1 frigidaire et une cafetière à peine assez grands pour 2 personnes 4 verres à pied pour 6 personnes nous avons racheté de la vaisselle. Lave linge dans le hangar au milieu des outils étendoir à linge ridicule. Aucune precison dans l'annonce concernant la piscine qui est collective à plusieurs locations. Accès dans la propriété par un seul portail ou le bas de caisse des automobiles touchait en permanence ayant occasionné même une dégradation sur un véhicule. .Nous avons tenté de joindre Abritel sur place sans succès nous avons des photos à l'appui et nous demandons un dédommagement étant client Abritel et n'étant pas habitué à ce genre de prestation. Pour notre part il serait nécessaire qu'un agent Abritel se rende sur place pour vérifier le produit qu'il met en location.Dans l'attente d'un retour favorable de votre part car cette location a gâché une partie de nos vacances. On s'attendait à une location en adéquation avec le prix que nous avons payé: 3 646, 80 €. Cordialement. Famille Antunes .

Endroit magnifique!

Nous étions un groupe de 6(2enfants de 10 ans, 2 parents et 2 grands-parents). Nous avons loué la maison secondaire. Celle-ci est propre et spacieuse avec de belles commodités. Le site est enchanteur! Vignes, oliviers, chênes-lièges, nombreux arbres fruitiers. Magnifique piscine. Animaux domestiques et de ferme que les enfants ont particulièrement apprécié. Les hôtes très sympathiques et empressés de nous répondre et de nous informer. Les villages avoisinants sont intéressants à visiter. Plusieurs activités pour tous les goûts à proximité. Nous recommandons sans hésiter, notre seul regret est d’y avoir séjourné seulement 2 nuits, nous en aurions pris au moins deux autres!

Delightful venue

Delightful house set in beautiful Figuerio Dos Vinhos countryside. The Hosts (Bridgitte & Bernard) are particularly nice. The swimming pool is lovely and in serene location. minor point would be some equipment to use in Microwave. Overall, a great stay.

Peaceful and relaxing

We wanted a get-a-way from our busy big city lives and Quinta do Sobral is perfect for that! The location is beautiful and right in the middle of Portugal so perfect for day trips. We loved Agua Azul for swimming. The villa is nice and well set out and it was super easy to deal with the owners. The breakfast delivered every morning was a wonderful surprise. For guests who want to self-cater the house is perfectly functional but worth knowing that kitchen is kitted out quite minimalist. A guest book with explanations of where to take the litter/bins, where the supermarket is and perhaps suggestions of day trips would be a nice addition. As would more light in the kitchen. But overall we had a wonderful time.

Sehr netter Aufenthalt in der Mitte von Portugal

Das Ferienhauses mit 3 Schlafzimmer, Wohnküche und 2 Badezimmer ist ausgezeichnet für eine Familie (bis 6 Schlafplätze) und sowohl sauber als auch gut ausgestattet. Das angebotenen inkludierte Frühstück beim Ferienhaus ist sehr angenehm. Der Pool ist sauber, groß und den ganzen Tag (auch am abend noch) zu nutzen. Insbesondere mit Kindern ist das ideal. Es wurden auch eigene Liegetücher für den Pool zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Lage ist sehr gut für Ausflüge in der Region ("world heritage sites") - Coimbra, Conimbrîga, Tomar, Batalha, „Schiefer Dörfer“ (Aldeias do Xisto) etc. - als auch zur Küste - Figueira da Foz, Nazare, etc. Die Vermieter sind zuvorkommend und nett. Jederzeit wieder!

Lovely Cottage on a Beautiful Quinta

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Ouro for an extended period of time. First I would like to state that the house looks exactly like it does in the pictures. The furnishings and fixtures are high quality, simple yet classic. The grounds are beautiful and although it is a working Quinta complete with grapevines, olive trees and livestock, it is very well cared for and tidy. You will be sure to enjoy the pristine and private pool. The hosts Bernard and Brigitte are attentive yet respectful of privacy. The town of Figueiro dos Vinhos, though small has all the amenities one would require. For a special treat, make sure to catch the local Farmer's Market on Saturdays. On a more personal note, we found our hosts to be absolutely lovely and their passion for their Quinta and their guests shines through in everything they do. So if you are looking for an idyllic, quiet stay in the beautiful Portuguese countryside, while still close to castles and attractions, then this is the place to stay.
