Quintinha Village

We stayed 4 nights at a villa. There are several pools, 2 big ones and 2 smaller ones for kids, restaurant and bar. Personal is friendly, and facilities are also very good. The villas are quite big, with ground floor and 1st floor. It's great for families with kids, or a big group of people. There's a big supermarket near by. The villas have a full fited kitchen, great if you planning doing some cooking while on vacation. We liked it very much and will be returning if/when we go back to the area.

it was really good for the price and the pool was lovely. great facilities on site such as cafes but it was never too loud or in your face. apartments were spacious, nice and often cleaned. wish the pool was open longer however not too much of an issue. beds werent too comfy but asides from that was wonderful

Lovely place, so quite and relaxing

It's a great spot for a family. Self-catering experience was fantastic. Onsite restaurant is good for dinner

Such a shame as this complex is beautiful. Where do I start , we arrive 2 adults 3 children 1 baby . The receptionist (Teresa) didnt look best pleased to see us. Wasnt very friendly felt extremely unwelcome, no directions to our Duplex villa just told the door number, thankfully our taxi driver waited until we had our keys or would have been a good walk with heavy cases over to quintinha village. Extremely busy with Portugese tourists which made us realise they didnt want nor need the British tourism as they get enough of their own. The bar over at Quintinha village didnt have opening times and was a case of opened when they felt like it. Even the bar lady didnt crack a smile once despite numerous attempts of speaking their language even if it was to say Thank you. The evening Bar restaurant over at Figuerinhas is nowhere near big enough for a tenth of the guests staying and again was made to feel unwelcome the kids were desperate for a game of pool and was the only bar in the village with a pool table. Needs musts to keep the kids happy. The pool at Quintinha is lovely however we didnt witness it being cleaned once all week however they were cleaning the figuerinhas pool everyday during pool opening hours which resulted in the children being told to get out the pool whilst they cleaned it. The sunbeds were all cracked and ripped numerous towels and pinched our bottoms and thighs numerous times too. However on our last day they brought 10 brand new sunbeds into Quintinha's pool. The tiles around the pool area are lethal complete health hazard when wet yet they still came out to hose the tiles around the pool a few times in the week. Come 5pm the pool gets very busy with Portuguese that appeared to be none guests at the hotel that were in fact getting out of their cars or coming from the private apartments that are situated between quintinha and Figuerinhas. Again made to feel unwelcome so we would get our belongings and return to the villa. No consideration when putting guests in the villas, we had 2 young couples nextdoor that were extremely noisy and with a baby seemed a little unfair to have put the noisy young ones near families with young babies. One evening we asked the receptionist (Luis) to telephone a taxi for us to go to the next town (armacao de pera) beautiful town very busy but plenty to see and do. On arrival of our taxi turns out he had called a friend in a van labelled plumbing services. (Clearly no taxi license or insurance to be carrying paying passengers not to mention the taxi cost more then a genuine taxi) when we took a taxi back from the town from the local taxi rank he couldnt believe our hotel receptionist hadnt called us a genuine taxi. (Taxi driver gave us his card and we rang him nearly everyday for days out etc). The duplex villas is absolutely beautiful but definitely missing a gate to secure the front gardens for little ones. Only a few things let the rooms down not enough pillows for beds, big cracks in the toilet seat. The maids came in daily for the rubbish and a quick clean but only changed the towels once mid week. The maids were the most happiest and friendliest on site. There isnt much around definitely reccomend renting a car and venturing out.
