Facilities

Nine delightful rooms are available for short stays, weekends or longer periods to really relax and enjoy, year-round.  Each has a private entrance, that opens to the central garden, a WC with shower and central heating for the out of season months.  With the indoor and outdoor dining and breakfast areas, a self-catering guest kitchen and a jacuzzi, it is suitable for individuals, couples or families. A large, modern barbeque is available for guests to use.  The tv room and lounge has games, satellite television and DVD for evenings "in" - especially cosy in the winter with a log fire burning in the grate.

A secluded cottage in the trees away from the main buildings sleeps up to seven people and is fully self contained with two bedrooms, a kitchen and bathroom.

Wireless internet is available for business use, or simply to keep in touch with the wider world (if you wish).  Guests can often be found enjoying the ambience of the garden whilst working at the marble topped tables under the terrace outside their rooms.

Delicious home-cooked meals can be provided subject to prior request and availability. There is a self-help bar.

The Quinta do Moinho Velho can be hired for groups, or for events such as workshops or retreats.
