"After sampling a home cooked meal at the Quinta, is it possible to have dinner at the property again tomorrow? We didn't plan it but we don't want to leave here - these women are the best cooks!!"

QUINTA DA BOAVISTA

"We all really enjoyed it and loved being able to stay in such an authentic family Quinta amongst the vineyards. The views were even more stunning than the pictures and walks into town easy. Breakfasts were great too and we were so well looked after by the maids..."

QUINTA DA BOAVISTA

"We had a lovely time at this villa – it’s a fun, elegant and very creative property. We loved the design and use of large windows to maximize views and light, bringing the outside in; as well as the wonderful infinity pool (one of the reasons for choosing this villa over others) with its surroundings of lavender, rosemary and trees, which we really enjoyed. We would like to ...

AS OLIVEIRAS

"We are LOVING the villa, it is so beautiful! Teresa has been incredibly kind and helpful; she even went to the market with us to help us find what we needed. We just got back from a few hours at the beach; we couldn't be happier, thank you. And thank you for organizing the bikes too - they are working out great!"

BEACH VILLA

"Thanks for all your help during our holiday. We had a really good time. The villa is stunning, and the housekeeper came often and was very friendly. My husband played golf twice at Troia Golf Course, he loved it. It would have been fab if a map was provided for the bike rides around the region - we were a bit hesitant of where and how far to go."

BEACH VILLA

"We had the most wonderful 2 weeks. The house has a great layout making it spacious and comfortable. The pool and lounge area on the roof are spectacular. Lounging poolside with the sound of waves in the distance was the best. Being able to walk to the beach in 10 minutes was also divine. Beach restaurants Sal & Sublime are very close. Overall a perfect stay. Thanks also to chef Sandra R...

 "We had a lovely holiday in Comporta and found it very easy to book through you - the communication was fine and instructions were clear. The only but I would add, is that the 'welcome hamper' was a bit disappointing. Thank you."

"We had a great time at this villa and loved exploring the area. We were sorry to have to leave early (due to kids' sports schedules) but hope to return again sometime. Please thank the owners and cleaner too. The house is beautiful and we especially enjoyed horse riding on the beach and riding bikes from beach to beach in Comporta!"

CASA DA BALEIA

"We had a lovely time. The villa has a great blend of style and simplicity, and the garden is very cleverly put together to give a feel of abundance and seclusion. Lina and her friend who cooked for us were lovely and the cleaners very smiley. Thanks to AB Villa Rentals and the Concierge team. We had a tough year and the villa and Comporta were a great tonic!"
